Getting Started
Build your first superpower in 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
- An Ikiro account (sign up at ikiro.ai)
- A companion activated (Luna, Nyx, Echo, Kael, or Mochi)
That's it. No API keys, no local setup, no coding experience required.
Step 1: Open the Builder
Go to ikiro.ai/dashboard/builder and click New Superpower.
Click "Describe what you want" at the top.
Step 2: Describe your superpower
Type what you want in plain English. For example:
A joke teller that gets random programming jokes when I say "tell me a joke" or "make me laugh"
Click Generate Superpower. The AI will create a complete definition including triggers, operations, and response templates.
Step 3: Preview and refine
You'll see a preview showing:
- The superpower's name and description
- Actions with their operations
- Trigger phrases that activate it
If something's not right, click Refine and describe what to change:
"Make it only tell dad jokes, not programming jokes"
Step 4: Open in Builder
Click Open in Builder to see your superpower as a visual flow in the node editor.
The node editor shows:
- Purple nodes — Triggers (what activates the superpower)
- Blue/yellow nodes — Operations (what it does)
- Green nodes — Responses (what the persona says)
You can drag nodes, edit properties in the right panel, and add new operations from the palette on the left.
Step 5: Test
Click the Test button in the toolbar. Type a message that should trigger your superpower:
tell me a joke
The dry-run panel shows what would happen: which action matched, which operations ran, and what the response would be.
Step 6: Publish
Click Publish in the top-right. Choose Private (only you) or Public (marketplace).
Your superpower is now live. It's automatically equipped to Luna — text her the trigger phrase and see it work.
