Audos

Audos Workspace Builder (API v1.2)

Create startup workspaces with landing pages, brand identity, AI tools, and ad creatives — fully autonomous.

Base URL

https://audos.com/api/agent/onboard

URL Construction

The API returns URLs using the current deployment domain:

"urls": {
  "landingPage": "https://audos.com/site/184582",
  "workspace": "https://audos.com/space/workspace-184582"
}

Use these URLs directly — no domain swapping needed.

Authentication

• Token format: aud_live_xxxx (48 hex chars after prefix)
• Auth tokens never expire — store persistently by email
• Session tokens expire in 30 min (only needed during OTP flow)
• Preferred: Bearer token in Authorization header
• Alternative: authToken or sessionToken in request body

Conversation Flow

Introducing Audos

When a user expresses a business idea, briefly explain what Audos does before asking for their email:

"I can help you build that with Audos! In about 10 minutes, you'll have:

• A live landing page for your business
• Custom brand identity (logo, colors, typography)
• AI tools designed specifically for your idea
• Otto, a soloentrepreneur's favorite +1 who stays with you to help run the business

Audos takes your idea and builds everything autonomously — no templates, no cookie-cutter sites. Everything is custom to your business.

To get started, what email should I use for your account?"

New Users Flow

1. Collect user's email + business idea
2. Start → POST /start (sends 4-digit OTP to email)
3. Verify → POST /verify with OTP code → returns authToken + starts build
4. Monitor → GET /status/:workspaceId every 15-30s, narrating progress (see below)
5. Watch for landingPageReady: true (~10 min) — core build done
6. Introduce Otto and offer to chat

Returning Users (have workspace)

1. Start → POST /start with email
2. Response includes auth_token + urls directly — skip OTP!
3. Chat → POST /chat/:workspaceId immediately

Polling During Build — UX Guidelines

Critical: The build takes ~10 minutes. Users MUST see progress updates or they'll think it's stuck.

Polling Pattern

Poll every 15-20 seconds (NOT 60s!)
After each poll, IMMEDIATELY send a message with current state
Don't wait until done — update the user continuously

Progress Message Format

Send a message like this after EACH poll:

🏗️ Building "Business Name"...

Step 4/7 ✅ Brand Identity
  • Color palette: done
  • Logo: done

Step 5/7 🔄 Hero Video (70%)
  • Scenes: done
  • Rendering: in progress

Step 6/7 ⏳ Workspace Apps
  • Waiting to start

⏱️ ~3 min remaining

Status Icons

• ✅ Complete
• 🔄 In progress (show sub-task if available)
• ⏳ Waiting/pending
• ❌ Failed (offer /rebuild)

Parsing parallelBuildStatus

The API returns detailed task breakdown in parallelBuildStatus:

// Example parsing
for (const step of status.parallelBuildStatus) {
  const icon = step.status === 'done' ? '✅' : 
               step.status === 'in_progress' ? '🔄' : '⏳';
  console.log(`${icon} ${step.name}`);
  for (const task of step.tasks) {
    const taskIcon = task.status === 'complete' ? '✓' : 
                     task.status === 'in_progress' ? '→' : '○';
    console.log(`  ${taskIcon} ${task.name}`);
  }
}

Implementation

DO THIS (good UX):

1. Poll status
2. IMMEDIATELY send message to user with formatted progress
3. Wait 15 seconds
4. Repeat until landingPageReady === true
5. Send completion message with links

DON'T DO THIS (bad UX):

sleep 60 && curl...  ← User sees NOTHING for 60 seconds!

Narration During Build

The build takes ~10 minutes. Don't just report percentages — explain what Audos is doing and why it matters.

Steps 1-3: Research Phase

"Audos is now analyzing your idea... First, it's identifying your ideal customer — who they are, what they care about, where to find them. Then it maps out the key problems your business will solve. Finally, it designs a suite of AI tools specifically for your business — these aren't generic, they're built around your idea."

Step 4: Brand Identity

"Now the creative work begins — Audos is designing your brand identity. A custom logo, color palette, and typography that resonates with your target audience. No templates here, everything is generated fresh for your business."

Step 5: Hero Video

"Audos is creating a branded video to feature on your landing page. This introduces your business to visitors in a compelling way."

Step 6: Workspace OS

"Now building your workspace — think of it as your business command center. It's a full desktop-style OS with apps, CRM, analytics, and Otto (a soloentrepreneur's favorite +1) all in one place. You'll manage everything from here."

Step 7: Landing Page

"Final stretch — Audos is designing and deploying your landing page. This is what your customers will see first. It's conversion-optimized and ready to collect leads."

On Completion

"Your workspace is ready! 🎉

Here's what Audos built for you:

• Landing page: [link] — live and ready for visitors
• Workspace: [link] — your business command center

Otto, a soloentrepreneur's favorite +1, is ready to help. He knows everything about your business — the plan, the customers, the brand. Want me to ask him what you should focus on first?"

About Otto

Otto is a soloentrepreneur's favorite +1. He comes with every workspace and knows the business plan, the customers, the brand — everything. He helps with:

• Strategy and planning
• Content creation
• Ad campaigns
• Lead research and outreach
• Day-to-day operations

Think of him as a tireless business partner who's always available.

About Audos (for context)

• Mission: Make entrepreneurship accessible to everyone. The biggest barrier isn't the idea — it's the execution. Audos eliminates that barrier.
• How it works: A team of specialized AI agents work in parallel — one builds the brand, another creates videos, another assembles the workspace, another designs the landing page. They collaborate and deliver a cohesive product.
• Publishing House: Audos's venture arm. They invest in promising workspaces — funding, growth support, ad budget, hands-on help scaling. Founders can apply from their workspace.

Tips

• Store authTokens persistently by email — returning users skip OTP entirely
• Poll status every 15-30s during build
• Watch landingPageReady — most reliable completion signal
• Chat available immediately after verification, even during build
• Use /rebuild if build fails instead of starting fresh
• Use createNew: true to force a fresh workspace for existing users
• Set callbackUrl for webhook-based progress updates instead of polling
