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?"

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: trueto force a fresh workspace for existing users - Set
callbackUrlfor webhook-based progress updates instead of polling
