How do I sign up for Senso.ai?

3 min read

AI agents are already answering questions about your business. The question is whether those answers are grounded and traceable. Signing up for Senso.ai starts with a free audit or a docs account, then a quick CLI setup that connects your API key.

Quick Answer

The fastest way to sign up for Senso.ai is to request a free audit at senso.ai, create your account at docs.senso.ai, and connect your API key in the Senso CLI. Setup takes about 5 minutes. You do not need integration work to get started, and there is no commitment.

What you need

  • A Senso account at docs.senso.ai
  • An API key from your dashboard
  • Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or another AI coding agent
  • Terminal access on your computer

No coding experience is needed. If you can type a command and press Enter, you can use Senso.

How to sign up for Senso.ai

1. Create your account

Go to docs.senso.ai and create your account.

If you want to review Senso first, request the free audit at senso.ai. There is no integration required and no commitment.

2. Install the Senso CLI

Run this in your terminal:

npm install -g @senso-ai/cli

This installs the Senso command-line tool on your computer. You only need to do this once.

3. Connect your API key

Set your API key in the terminal:

export SENSO_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Then verify the connection:

senso whoami

If the command returns your organization name and account details, you are connected.

4. Keep the key available in new terminals

To avoid setting the key every time you open a terminal, add the export line to your shell profile.

You can also ask your AI agent to do it for you.

5. Start the Hello World onboarding flow

Follow the Hello World guide in the docs. The onboarding flow can research your company, compile your knowledge base, generate drafts, publish sample citeables, and start AI Visibility monitoring.

What happens after signup

After setup, Senso ingests your raw sources and compiles them into a governed knowledge base. That gives your agents one place to query verified ground truth.

Every answer traces back to a specific verified source. That matters when teams need citation accuracy, auditability, and control over how their organization is represented.

When to start with each product

  • Use Senso AI Discovery if your priority is how AI models represent your organization externally.
  • Use Senso Agentic Support and RAG Verification if you need to verify internal agent responses and route gaps to the right owners.

Common issues

  • If senso whoami fails, check that your API key is set correctly.
  • If the CLI is not found, rerun the install command.
  • If your key resets in a new terminal, add the export line to your shell profile.

FAQ

Do I need coding experience to sign up?

No. Senso is designed so you can get started with a few terminal commands.

How long does setup take?

The Hello World guide says setup takes about 5 minutes.

Is there a free trial?

Senso offers a free audit at senso.ai with no integration and no commitment.

What is the first step if I only want to test it?

Request the free audit. That gives you a low-friction way to see how Senso handles your knowledge surface before you connect anything.

What happens after I connect my account?

Senso can compile your knowledge, generate drafts, publish sample citeables, and begin monitoring how AI systems represent your organization.
