Guide · Getting started with JOHANNES

Getting started with JOHANNES.
Your first quarter hour with your conductor.

JOHANNES is your marketing conductor. It knows your market study and your strategy document, it remembers what you decide together, and it can create for you, with your approval at every step. This guide walks you through your first conversations.

JOHANNES already knows your project

Before asking your first question, here is what makes JOHANNES different from a generic assistant:

Answers grounded in your business

JOHANNES relies on your market study and your strategy document, not on generalities.

It checks the web live

Fresh information, competitor moves, trends, with cited sources.

It finds your content

It searches everything you have already created on the platform and builds on it.

It creates with your approval

Posts, articles, newsletters, images, presentations, carousels. Every action shows its exact price before approval.

It updates your strategy

JOHANNES proposes the change, you compare side by side and approve.

It remembers your decisions

Your choices and context follow it from one conversation to the next.

It redirects you to MIKA

JOHANNES redirects you to MIKA when a strategic decision or a brand risk calls for it.

Your first conversation

No need to introduce your company: JOHANNES already knows your market. Get straight to the point, as with a consultant who has read your file.

No inspiration? Start with one of these questions:

What should my marketing focus on first?How can I stand out from my competitors?I want to improve my brand positioningWhat do you already know about my company?

And when you want something precise, a simple formula is enough:

I want [type of content or help] for [target audience] in order to [goal]. Tone: [desired tone].

Filled-in example: "I want a LinkedIn post for building contractors in order to promote my online quote service. Tone: direct and concrete, no jargon." Find twelve formulas like this one in the template Ready-to-use JOHANNES prompts.

Good to know: each message sent to JOHANNES costs a few credits; the rate is displayed in the app. Creations (posts, images...) are billed separately, always with your consent.

While JOHANNES works

JOHANNES never thinks in silence: it shows each step of its work live, such as "Reading your project documents", "Searching your content" or "Searching the web". You can expand each step to see its detail in the "What JOHANNES did" section.

How can I stand out from my competitors?

Reading your project documents

Searching the web

Do not try to beat HubSpot, Jasper or Adobe on feature count. BAM must make visible a difference they rarely explain simply: the controlled path from an incomplete brief to a coherent campaign, ready to approve and reuse. The formula to hammer home: "BAM turns an imperfect brief into a clear strategy, a brand memory and a campaign ready to approve."

"Strategy before content" angle: your team does not lack writing tools, it lacks a shared frame to decide what to say, to whom, with which proofs.

Is JOHANNES asking you questions?
  • Good sign: it prefers clarifying over guessing.
  • Just answer in the conversation.
  • Your answers also refine its memory of your project.

Here is a real example of these refinement questions, on a news-monitoring request:

Searching the web

Since July 2026, the news confirms the market is accelerating toward AI-driven campaigns, but it also directly reinforces BAM's territory: the problem is no longer generating, it is producing with the right context, a campaign logic and human control.

Approving a creation

When you ask for a creation (a post, an image, an article, a presentation, a carousel or an update to your strategy), JOHANNES never launches it on its own. It prepares a proposal card with the brief and the exact price, and two buttons: "Approve" and "Refuse".

If you approve
  • Generation starts in the background, the conversation continues.
  • JOHANNES notifies you in the conversation when it is ready.
  • "Open the workspace" takes you to review and edit the result.
If you refuse
  • Nothing is generated and no credit is spent.
  • Tell JOHANNES what is wrong with the brief.
  • It adjusts its proposal and presents a new card.

Only half convinced by the brief? Do not approve "just to see": ask for the change first ("change the angle to..."), the card will be redone.

Your credits stay under your control

The price displayed on the card is always the price actually charged. And JOHANNES may even advise against your own request, for example an angle that contradicts your positioning: it explains why right above the card, then the decision is yours.

Your project's memory

When a piece of information deserves to be kept (a decision, a preference, a fact about your business), JOHANNES notes it and signals it with a confirmation banner: "MIKA will remember that" (its current label in the app). This memory belongs to your project: the Memory page lets you consult, edit or delete every stored item.

  • State your decisions. "We have decided to...", "From now on, our priority is...": JOHANNES will use them in every following conversation.
  • Correct it. If JOHANNES gets a fact wrong, tell it: the correction will be remembered too.

Tip: you can also attach images to your messages (an ad to analyze, a screenshot, a photo to rework). JOHANNES analyzes them and can draw on them to create a visual.

The golden rules

One message, one goal

"Write a post" rather than "write a post and also an ad idea and a slogan". Chain your requests, don't stack them.

Give what JOHANNES can't know

A news item, a current offer, a client testimonial. No need to re-describe your company though: it already knows your market.

Also say what you don't want

"No superlatives", "no emoji", "no jargon": as effective as describing what you want.

Start simple, then refine

"Shorter", "more concrete", "add an example": iterating over two messages often beats one long perfect prompt.

Your credits under control

JOHANNES cannot create anything without your approval: every action goes through a card showing its exact price. Refusing costs nothing.
