🧾 Ingredients — Gather Your API Keys

Before installing anything, let’s collect all the accounts and keys you’ll need. Do this first so the installation flows smoothly without interruptions.
1

Anthropic API Key

Powers the AI Builder — describe your agent in plain language and it builds the flow for you.
  1. Go to platform.claude.com/settings/keys
  2. Create an account (or sign in)
  3. Click Create Key and copy it somewhere safe
This is the only key required to start using the builder.
2

LiveKit Credentials

Required to test and run your voice agent. You’ll need three values: URL, API Key, and API Secret.
  1. Go to cloud.livekit.io and create a free account
  2. Create a new project (any name works)
  3. Go to Settings → Keys and copy these three values:
    • LIVEKIT_URL — your server address (looks like wss://your-project.livekit.cloud)
    • LIVEKIT_API_KEY — starts with API...
    • LIVEKIT_API_SECRET — a long string of characters
3

Deepgram API Key (optional)

Enables voice dictation in the builder — speak your prompts instead of typing.
  1. Go to console.deepgram.com and create a free account
  2. Go to API Keys and create a new key
  3. Copy it somewhere safe
Save all your keys in a text file or note — you’ll paste them into the app during setup. Don’t worry about .env files or configuration; the app handles everything for you.
