1
Understand what Gradial is and the problem it solves
Gradial is the system of work that sits across your existing martech stack and executes the jobs between brief and live. This page covers the content supply chain problem, the systems-of-record vs. systems-of-work framing, what Gradial’s agents actually do, and the three architectural pillars that differentiate it.What Is Gradial? →

Learn how it works
Understand the mental model behind Gradial: how agents receive and execute work, how specialized agents orchestrate across complex jobs, how it connects to your stack, and how it builds a working understanding of your organization over time.How Gradial Works →

See what integrations are supported
Gradial connects to the CMS, project management, design, and marketing automation tools your team already uses. Review the full integrations list to confirm your stack is covered.Integrations Overview →

Understand the core workflows
Gradial organizes work into two main categories: updating existing content and creating new experiences. Read both overviews to understand the scope of what agents can handle.Content Updates → · New Page Workflow →

You own the technical foundation. Before anyone on your team can use Gradial, you need to connect your systems, configure access, and validate the environment. This path takes you from a freshly provisioned org to production-ready.Estimated time: 1–3 weeks (largely dependent on your IT team’s security review process)
1
Understand what you're setting up
Start with how Gradial works — what it connects to, how agents receive and execute work, and what systems are involved — before you touch any credentials.How Gradial Works →
2
Run environment discovery
Before connecting anything, work through Phase 1 of the onboarding checklist. It tells you exactly what your team needs to gather — example tickets, workflow docs, golden page candidates — before technical setup can begin.Onboarding Checklist →
3
Connect your CMS
This is the critical path. Connect Gradial to your primary CMS. Each integration requires specific service accounts and permission configurations — plan for security review time.
AEM (6.5 or Cloud)
OAuth 2.0 or IMS authentication, JCR permissions, technical account setup
Gradial works directly from tickets in Jira, Workfront, Wrike, and others. Connecting your ticketing system activates the queue automation that makes Gradial most valuable for content teams day-to-day.Set Up Ticketing Integrations →
5
Configure SSO
Connect Gradial to your identity provider to enable single sign-on. Supported: Microsoft Entra ID, Okta OIDC, and custom OIDC.Configure SSO →
6
Set roles and invite your team
Define who can do what. Gradial has organization-level and workspace-level roles. Invite your admins, content leads, and editors, and assign appropriate permissions before handing off to content teams.Roles & Permissions → · Manage Team Members →
7
Validate and hand off
Complete Phases 3 and 4 of the onboarding checklist — confirm integrations are live, run sandbox validation, and sign off with your Gradial contact before content teams begin using the platform.Onboarding Checklist: Phases 3 & 4 →
The single most common delay in Gradial onboarding is IT provisioning and security reviews. Submit a single, consolidated credential request rather than individual asks spread out over time — it can cut weeks off your timeline.
You’re a content manager, author, editor, communications lead, or team owner running tasks and getting content live. This path covers the operational skills you need — starting with the basics and building toward more complex workflows and quality configuration.Estimated time: 2–4 hours to get comfortable with the basics; add new workflows as you go
1
Get oriented in the platform
Start by learning how the platform is laid out — where tasks live, how workspaces are organized, and how to navigate between projects.Navigating the Platform →
2
Learn how to brief an agent
The quality of what Gradial produces depends heavily on how you describe the task. Read the prompting guide before running your first task — it will save you from multiple re-runs and frustration.Prompting an AI Agent →
3
Run your first content update
Start small: a copy change, a link swap, a styling fix. These are fast, low-risk, and a good way to learn the task loop — brief → run → review → stage → publish.Small Content Updates →
4
Move to medium-complexity updates
Once you’re comfortable, tackle more involved work: component swaps, batch changes, find-and-replace across pages, and content fragment updates.Medium Content Updates →
5
Create a new page
Learn the four ways to create a new page in Gradial: copying an existing page, using design patterns, working from a Word doc or creative brief, or importing a Figma design.New Page Workflow →
6
Validate your work before it goes live
Before content publishes, run a QA report to catch brand and compliance issues, and an accessibility report to validate WCAG 2.2 AA conformance.QA Reports → · Accessibility Reports →
7
Work directly from your ticketing system
Once you’re comfortable running tasks manually, learn how Gradial picks up tickets from Jira, Workfront, or Wrike automatically — so you can execute directly from your existing workflow without copy-pasting between tools.How Gradial Works with Ticketing →
8
Configure quality standards for your team
If you’re a content lead or strategist responsible for how agents behave, the next step is setting up golden pages, design patterns, and QA rules. This is what scales quality across your entire team.Golden Pages → · Design Pattern Ingestion → · QA Rules Manager →
The fastest way to improve output quality is better prompts, not re-running the same task. If a result isn’t what you expected, revisit the Prompting Guide before trying again — a clearer objective and one concrete example makes more difference than anything else.
