How to Set Up Yerba: A Step-by-Step Guide

You can finish the whole setup on your phone in one sitting. It helps to have three things ready: a clear, PG profile photo, a sentence or two about how you talk, and the links you want fans sent to (your other socials, your shop, your latest drop).

Nothing here is permanent. Every choice below (your theme, your chat's personality, your links) can be edited later from your dashboard settings, so it is fine to move fast and refine afterward. Setup is free, and you can claim your handle before you commit to anything.

The first screen, Welcome to Yerba, builds the page fans see when they tap your link. Add a profile photo, a display name, and a tagline.

Upload a photo. A real photo helps fans trust that it is actually you. Keep it PG: a clean, safe-for-work image keeps your account safer and stops a bio link from getting your reach throttled. You can drag to reframe it.

Display name is your name as it appears at the top of your page. Tagline is the one line that greets visitors (the default is "Talk to my Yerba!"). A warm, specific tagline gets more people to actually start a chat.

Next you choose the theme: the colors and look fans see on your page. Pick one now and preview it live below the picker; you will customize the voice and chat with it in the next steps.

The starter themes are Yerba, Night, and Pink, free for everyone. A few premium themes unlock as you go: Lust unlocks when you connect an integration, Sleek and Clouds unlock once your email is verified, and the animated Aurora and Sunset themes are part of the paid plan. You can switch themes any time from settings, so nothing here locks you in.

This screen sets how your chat talks to fans. Pick a vibe, optionally a gender, and your date of birth. As always, you can fine-tune all of it later in settings.

Vibe is required: choose a few chips that shape how your agent sounds. The options are Playful, Confident, Sweet, Sassy, Flirty, Mysterious, Bubbly, and Chill. Pick the handful that match how you actually talk.

Gender is optional and helps the chat sound like you. Date of birth is required: Yerba uses your age and gender to decide how your chat responds. Your birthday is never shown to fans.

Now you have a quick, private chat that teaches your Yerba how you talk, and you drop in a link or two. Your fans never see this conversation; it is just how the agent learns to sound like you.

The agent opens by asking you to tell it about yourself. Answer in your own words, the way you would text a friend, and it folds that into its voice. While you are here you can also start adding socials from the strip below the chat: tap a platform icon and paste your profile link.

Two or three sentences is plenty to start. The more it knows about how you talk and what you point people to, the more your page feels like you from the very first reply.

The Connect your world screen is where you wire in everything your chat can send fans to once they are warmed up. Yerba works with all your socials and shops; the ones you already connected are saved, and you can add any of the rest later from settings.

Tap Add next to a platform and paste your profile or shop URL. Here is the full list of integrations Yerba supports today, and what each one is for:

The final screen confirms you are live. You get a gold Verified Creator badge on your profile so fans know it is really you, and your chat now replies around the clock in your voice, sends fans to every link you added, and keeps your pages hidden from the bots that scrape them.

Your link sits at the top, in the form yerba.chat/yourname. Tap Copy, then paste it into your bio, starting with the platform where your fans already are (Instagram is a great first home for it). The moment someone taps it, the conversation begins.

Under More ways to earn, Yerba surfaces extras like Amazon Wishlist, Ko-fi, and Shopify that you can add whenever you want; there is no setup required now, and they live in your dashboard for later. That is it. Your AI link in bio is live.

Once your link is in your bio, every visitor gets a one-to-one conversation instead of a wall of buttons. Your dashboard shows who is showing up, where they came from, which links convert, and how many bots were screened out before they reached you.

From settings you can refine everything you set up here: rewrite your voice, swap your theme, add or remove integrations, and add unlimited custom links.
