To get your first strategy, sign in, finish the short onboarding, then open Strategy Builder and choose Talk it through. Answer the AI strategist’s questions, review the brief it drafts, click Run Analysis, and StratEngine opens your finished strategy brief. From there, Generate Deck turns it into a presentation. The app says this takes about five minutes. The analysis itself takes about 2, 4 or 8 minutes depending on the depth you pick.
StratEngine runs in a desktop browser. On a phone or tablet the sign-in screen tells you the app is desktop-only. See Signing in from a phone or tablet.
