1. Problem / Job-to-Be-Done

The Problem

New users who sign up for Petunia face a cold start problem:

• They don't know what the platform can do for them
• They need to configure their business profile before getting value
• Traditional form-based onboarding is tedious and has high abandonment rates
• If something breaks during onboarding, users get stuck and leave forever

Why It Matters

Business Impact:

• First impressions determine whether a user becomes a paying customer
• Onboarding completion rate directly correlates with conversion to paid plans
• Users who complete onboarding are 3-5x more likely to activate features

User Pain Points:

• "I signed up but don't know what to do next"
• "The setup process is too long"
• "I got an error and now I'm stuck"
• "I don't have time to fill out forms"

Job-to-Be-Done

"When I sign up for a business tool, I want to get started quickly with minimal friction, so that I can see value without investing significant time upfront."

---

2. Solution Overview

Summary

A multi-modal, AI-powered onboarding experience that feels like a conversation with a helpful assistant named Petunia. Users choose their preferred interaction style (voice call, browser voice, or text chat), and Petunia extracts their business information naturally through conversation.

Outcome

Users complete business profile setup in 2-3 minutes through natural conversation, with their Company, Portal, and preferences automatically created. They arrive at their dashboard ready to use the platform.

Key User Flows

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                      USER JOURNEY                                │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  1. Signup complete → Cookie set → Redirect to /onboarding      │
│  2. Welcome animation plays (personalized greeting)             │
│  3. User selects mode: Voice Call | Browser Voice | Text Chat   │
│  4. Petunia asks: name, business name, industry                 │
│  5. Summary screen shows extracted data (editable)              │
│  6. User confirms → Database records created                    │
│  7. Redirect to /dashboard?from=onboarding                      │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Key Flow Notes

• Voice Call: Retell calls user's phone, AI conducts conversation
• Browser Voice: Cartesia WebSocket for real-time mic + TTS
• Text Chat: Sequential state machine with progress indicators (collect name → business → industry)
• Quick Setup: 3-step form fallback when AI unavailable
• Emergency Skip: Always available - users are never stuck
• Session Replay: Sentry captures all onboarding sessions for debugging

---

3. Scope

What's Included (v0.4.0)

4. Acceptance Criteria (Gherkin)

Voice Call Mode

GIVEN a new user has completed signup
  AND they have a valid phone number
  AND Retell API is available
WHEN they select "Voice Call" mode and enter their phone number
THEN Petunia should call their phone within 10 seconds
  AND conduct a natural conversation to collect business info
  AND display a summary screen when the call ends
  AND create their Company and Portal on confirmation

Browser Voice Mode

GIVEN a new user has completed signup
  AND they grant microphone permission
  AND Cartesia API is available
WHEN they select "Browser Voice" mode
THEN a WebSocket connection should be established
  AND they can speak naturally to Petunia
  AND Petunia responds with synthesized speech
  AND business info is extracted and shown in summary

Text Chat Mode

GIVEN a new user has completed signup
  AND Anthropic or OpenAI API is available
WHEN they select "Text Chat" mode
THEN they should see a progress indicator (Step 1 of 3)
  AND Petunia asks for their name first
  AND after name is collected, Petunia asks for business name (Step 2)
  AND after business name, Petunia asks for industry (Step 3)
  AND the progress bar fills as each step completes
  AND summary screen shows all extracted data

Graceful Degradation

GIVEN a new user is in onboarding
  AND all AI services become unavailable
WHEN the system detects service unavailability
THEN the user should see a non-blocking notification
  AND be offered the Quick Setup form
  AND still be able to complete onboarding

Emergency Skip

GIVEN a new user is stuck in onboarding
  AND they click "Skip for now" or the emergency fallback triggers
WHEN the emergency completion runs
THEN completion cookies should be set
  AND the user should be redirected to dashboard
  AND they should NOT be redirected back to onboarding

Session Recovery

GIVEN a user started onboarding but didn't complete
  AND they return to /onboarding
WHEN the page loads
THEN their previous progress should be restored
  AND they should see a prompt to resume or start fresh

5. Dependencies & Risks

Dependencies

Dependency	Type	Required	Fallback
Retell API	External	No	Browser voice or text
Cartesia API	External	No	Text chat
Anthropic API	External	No	OpenAI
OpenAI API	External	No	Quick Setup form
Supabase Auth	Internal	Yes	None (auth required)
PostgreSQL	Internal	Yes	None (data storage)
Pinecone	External	No	Upstash
Upstash Vector	External	No	Skip vector storage

Risks & Mitigations

Risk	Severity	Likelihood	Mitigation
All AI services down	High	Low	Quick Setup form fallback
User stuck in loop	Critical	Low	Emergency skip, safety timeout
Session not propagating	Medium	Medium	Verification retry (10 attempts)
PID collision	Low	Very Low	Transaction retry (3 attempts)
Microphone permission denied	Medium	Medium	Fall back to text mode
Phone number invalid	Low	Low	Validation + error message
Database transaction fails	High	Low	Detailed error codes, retry logic

Trade-offs Made

1. Complexity vs. Reliability: Multiple fallback layers add code complexity but ensure users never get stuck
2. Performance vs. Features: Vector DB storage is async/non-blocking to not slow completion
3. UX vs. Data Collection: We collect minimal required data (name, business, industry) to reduce friction

Key Components

Component	Location	Purpose
OnboardingPage	app/(client)/onboarding/page.tsx	Main orchestrator
PetuniaVoiceOnboarding	components/onboarding/PetuniaVoiceOnboarding.tsx	Multi-mode UI
WelcomeAnimation	components/onboarding/WelcomeAnimation.tsx	Animated intro
useOnboardingState	lib/hooks/onboarding/useOnboardingState.ts	Session/PID management
useOnboardingAvailability	lib/hooks/onboarding/useOnboardingAvailability.ts	Service health
useBrowserVoice	lib/hooks/voice/useBrowserVoice.ts	Cartesia WebSocket
completion.ts	lib/onboarding/completion.ts	Client-side completion

Implementation Notes

State Management:

• useOnboardingState consolidates 8+ individual state checks into one hook
• Safety timeout (2s) forces content display to prevent blank screens
• PID resolution: URL param → Session storage → API

Completion Transaction:

// Atomic transaction creates all required records
await prisma.$transaction(async (tx) => {
  const company = await tx.company.create({ ... });
  await tx.userCompany.create({ userId, companyId, role: 'OWNER' });
  const portal = await tx.portal.create({ petuniaID: generatePID() });
  await tx.userPortalAccess.create({ userId, portalId, role: 'owner' });
  await tx.user.update({ onboardingCompleted: true });
  await tx.onboardingData.create({ ... });
});

Fallback Chain:

Voice Call → Browser Voice → Text Chat → Quick Setup → Emergency Skip

Security Considerations

Aspect	Implementation
Authentication	Session required for all API routes
CSRF	addCSRFToken() on form submissions
Input Validation	validateBusinessName(), validateIndustry(), sanitizeInput()
Phone Numbers	Server-side validation before Retell call
Rate Limiting	Standard API rate limits apply
Data Isolation	User can only access their own onboarding data

10. Observability & Monitoring

Sentry Session Replay

Session replay is enabled for /onboarding route via SentryReplayProvider:

// app/(client)/onboarding/layout.tsx
<SentryReplayProvider enableReplay context="onboarding">
  {children}
</SentryReplayProvider>

Features:

• Session replay is captured based on the global Sentry sampling config (production is sampled; sessions with errors are captured at a higher rate)
• Privacy-first: all text and inputs are masked
• Tagged with replay_context: "onboarding" for filtering
• Breadcrumbs provide timeline of key events
• Welcome animation pauses heavy background cloud animations while the full-screen overlay is visible (reduces jank in replays and on-device)

How to find the onboarding replay in Sentry:

• Filter Replays by tag replay_context:onboarding
• Look for breadcrumbs like Welcome animation phase changed to confirm timing
• To force the welcome animation to show again, load onboarding with ?force_welcome=true

Sentry Breadcrumbs

Event	Category	Level
Welcome animation entered	onboarding	info
Welcome animation phase changed	onboarding	info
Welcome animation skipped	onboarding	info
Welcome animation completed	onboarding	info
Mode changed	onboarding	info
Voice call initiated	onboarding	info
Voice call completed	onboarding	info
Voice call failed	onboarding	warning
Text data extracted	onboarding	info
Text mode complete	onboarding	info
AI marked complete prematurely	onboarding	warning

Logs

Logger	Location	Level
onboarding-state-hook	Client	INFO, DEBUG
onboarding-complete-api	Server	INFO, ERROR
onboarding-availability	Server	INFO, WARN
use-onboarding-availability	Client	INFO, ERROR

Key Log Events:

• Onboarding completion started
• Portal init successful
• Voice service health check failed
• Emergency completion triggered
• Session verification succeeded/failed

Metrics to Track

Metric	Type	Tags

Completion Transaction

The /api/onboarding/complete endpoint performs an atomic transaction:

1. Company: Create if not exists, link user as OWNER
2. Portal: Create with unique 9-digit PID
3. UserPreference: Set default portal
4. User: Mark onboardingCompleted = true
5. OnboardingData: Store for analytics
6. CompanySettings: Configure based on priorities
7. AutoresponderSettings: Enable based on mode used

Post-transaction (async):

• Update Supabase user_metadata
• Store in Upstash Vector
• Store in Pinecone with real embeddings
