Getting started
This page walks you from sign-up to your first working conversation with your permanent Executive Assistant in about five minutes.
What you need
- A work email. We will send a magic link for sign-in — no password to manage.
- A use case in mind. Onboarding is faster when you know the first workflow you want Chiro to help with.
- Optional: a document or two (PDF, Markdown, or HTML) for your first knowledge upload.
Create your workspace
- Go to achiral.ai/start.
- Enter your work email and click the magic link we send you.
- Name your organization. The slug you pick becomes
your-slug.achiral.ai— your dedicated subdomain. - Invite teammates if you want them in from day one (optional).
Provision Chiro (2–3 minutes)
Your workspace auto-provisions on signup:
- A dedicated Weaviate tenant for your memory and documents.
- An assigned inference endpoint for your tier.
- API credentials and an internal webhook token.
Status events appear in the dashboard as provisioning_started → tenant_ready → chiro_ready.
Make your first API call
Achiral exposes an OpenAI-compatible API. Drop-in SDKs work unchanged. Keep your key in an environment variable; do not inline secrets.
export ACHIRAL_API_KEY="..."
curl https://api.achiral.ai/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $ACHIRAL_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "chiro",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What is in my workspace today?"}]
}'
A successful response is an OpenAI-shaped chat.completion object with choices[0].message.content.
