Quickstart

You’ll create an account, verify your phone number for $10 in Welcome Credits, and either use a tool from the Marketplace or build your own through RivalBot. Plan on about five minutes.

1. Sign up

Go to cortexone.rival.io and enter your email. You’ll be guided through:

  1. Email verification - confirm the OTP we send you
  2. Create your organization - pick a name (this appears in your tool URLs and marketplace listings, so choose intentionally)
  3. Passkey setup - register a passkey for passwordless sign-in (optional)
  4. Land on the home page - cortexone.rival.io

The left sidebar nav has Search, Marketplace, My Tools, Build, and Mission. On its bottom, it has the Organization popup and Settings options.

2. Verify your phone number for receiving Welcome Credits in your Wallet Balance

From the profile dropdown, open settings and add your phone number. Enter the OTP we send by SMS - Welcome Credits as run balance land in your Wallet Balance immediately and are usable for running any tool from the Marketplace.

3. Pick a path

You have two ways to get something running. Either works.

Option A - Use a tool or Adopt an agent from the Marketplace

  1. Open Marketplace from the left sidebar nav (also at /marketplace)
  2. Browse or search for a tool/agent that matches your needs
  3. Click on the tool/agent, then Run - fill the input and execute right from the details page
  4. Favourite the tool or adopt the agent to save it and use in future

Option B - Build your own with RivalBot

  1. Open Build page at cortexone.rival.io/studio
  2. In the “What do you want to build?” prompt, describe what you want - e.g. “A tool that takes a URL and returns the page title and meta description.”
  3. RivalBot generates code, an input schema, test cases, and metadata, then hands you off to the Tool Editor
  4. Review, click Run in the Preview panel, and publish when you’re happy

See Creating a Tool for the full step-by-step builder walkthrough.

4. Call your tool from code

Every tool exposes an API endpoint. Create an API key from settings, then POST to your tool with a JSON event body. See the Developer Guide for the full request shape and language examples.
