Creating an Artefact

From idea to published interactive experience

Before You Begin

  • Your brand must be configured with voice and offerings
  • Credits in your wallet (first artefact is free)

Creating an artefact follows a simple flow: choose an idea (AI-suggested or your own), configure the design and features, generate, review, and publish. The entire process takes a few minutes.

Access it from Library > Artefacts > New Artefact.

Steps

Choose your idea

You have two paths:

Generate New Ideas — Click this button and Zyntro suggests artefact ideas based on your brand context, audience, and offerings. Each suggestion includes a title, description, and recommended feature settings. Click any suggestion to use it as your starting point.

Build From Scratch — Start with a blank canvas. Write your own title and description of what you want the artefact to do.

Examples of AI-suggested ideas: "Lead Follow-Up Speed Benchmark," "90-Day Content & Outreach Planner," "Client Relationship Health Scorecard." The suggestions are specific to your business, not generic templates.

The AI suggestions are tailored to your brand and wares. A realtor sees property-related ideas. A SaaS company sees software evaluation tools. A coach sees client assessment experiences.

Configure the builder

The builder screen has a left configuration panel and a right preview panel.

Title — The artefact’s name (displayed to visitors).

Prompt — A detailed description of the experience you want. What should it do? What questions should it ask? What should the output look like? The more specific you are, the better the result.

Design Controls:
- 4-color palette — Pick primary, secondary, accent, and neutral colors. These style the entire artefact.
- Fonts — Choose a primary font (headings) and secondary font (body text).
- Dark mode — Toggle for dark background styling.

Feature Toggles:
- Research — Include real-world data (market statistics, industry rates, current trends)
- Stateful — Save visitor progress across sessions
- Influenced — Naturally weave in a specific product or service (select which one)

Resource Attachments (optional):
- Embed a Zyntro form inside the artefact
- Embed a calendar booking widget
- Embed a video

The right panel previews your typography and color choices in real time.

Review the cost

A cost indicator shows the generation cost based on your configuration:
- Base cost for the artefact
- Additional cost if Research is enabled
- Additional cost if Stateful is enabled

Your first artefact per organization is free. After that, credits are charged from your wallet.

Generate

Click Generate. A cost disclosure confirms the breakdown and notes an important constraint: after generation, you can edit text content only — layout, colors, fonts, and structure cannot be modified without regenerating.

Generation typically takes 30-90 seconds. A progress indicator shows the status.

Take time with your prompt. The description you provide determines the quality and relevance of the generated artefact. Include: what the experience should do, what questions to ask, what the output should look like, and what value it delivers to the visitor.

Review and edit

The generated artefact appears in a live preview. You can:

Edit Text — Click the edit button to make all text elements directly editable. Adjust headings, descriptions, labels, button text, and any other copy. Click "Done Editing" when finished.

Save — Save the current state as a draft without publishing.

Publish — Make the artefact live with a public URL and embed code.

Regenerate — Go back to the builder to modify settings and generate again (costs additional credits).

Discard — Archive the artefact.

Text editing is inline — click directly on any text element in the preview and type. Editable elements are highlighted with an orange dashed outline. This lets you refine copy without regenerating.

Publish

Click Publish to make the artefact live. It immediately becomes accessible via its public URL and embed code. You can find both on the My Artefacts page by clicking the artefact card.

Result

Your artefact is published and ready to share. It has a public URL for direct sharing and an embed code for website integration. Visitor interactions are tracked automatically — you can see metrics (Interactions, Completions, Completion Rate) in the artefact detail drawer on the My Artefacts page.

Warning: After generation, you can edit text content only. Layout, colors, fonts, and structural elements cannot be modified — you would need to regenerate (which costs additional credits). Get your design settings right in the builder before generating.
