Accessing the Owner Portal

The Owner Portal requires your Owner Token — a separate credential from your regular login. This is intentional: even someone with your email and password cannot access owner-level settings without the token.

⚠️ Owner Token security: Treat your owner token like a password. It grants access to user management, billing, and platform settings. Do not share it with technicians or customers.

Finding Your Owner Token

  1. Log into the app at tuninglabs.net
  2. Go to Account Settings (top-right avatar → Settings)
  3. Scroll to Owner Credentials — your token is shown here (masked). Click to reveal once.
  4. Copy and store it securely (a password manager is recommended)

Owner Dashboard

The Owner Dashboard is the first thing you see after authenticating. It shows a real-time overview of your platform's health:

Owner dashboard

The Owner Dashboard — real-time KPIs, recent user activity, bot status, and platform health at a glance.

Under Owner → Users, you can view and manage every user on your platform.

User List

The user list shows all accounts with:

Billing & Revenue

The Owner → Billing section shows your Stripe revenue data:

Billing data is read-only. The Owner Portal shows Stripe data but does not process payments or refunds. For billing actions, log into your Stripe dashboard directly.

Platform Bots

Tuning Labs runs automated background bots to keep the platform fresh. You can trigger them manually or see their last run status from the Owner Dashboard.

BotWhat It DoesAuto Schedule
Hardware Bot Searches for new products across 193 brands, enriches existing product records with specs and images Weekly
Brand Bot Discovers new car audio brands and adds them to the brand discovery queue for review Monthly
Social Bot Generates and queues social media posts for platform announcements, features, and Academy content Weekly
💡 Running bots manually: From the Owner Dashboard, click Run next to any bot. The run starts in the background — refresh the page after a few minutes to see results.

System Settings

Under Owner → Settings:

AI Model ConfigSelect which AI model powers each feature (Haiku, Sonnet, or Opus)

Owner Token RotationGenerate a new owner token (invalidates the old one immediately)

Platform Analytics

Under Owner → Analytics, you'll find deeper usage data:

Card Manager

The Card Manager allows owners to view and edit the AI system prompt cards that drive Auto-Tune and the AI Advisor. These are the structured documents that contain thresholds, algorithm parameters, and tuning methodology rules.

⚠️ Advanced use only. Editing card content changes how Auto-Tune behaves for all users. Only modify cards if you understand the underlying acoustic science. All changes are logged.

Platform Changelog

Under Owner → Changelog, you can see every code deployment and feature change — with dates, what changed, and whether the change affected the database, API, or frontend.
