Run your first skill

Five steps. None of them require code.

  1. 01
    Sign in to Ultron
    Visit app.ultron.com and sign in with Google or email. New accounts are provisioned with a workspace, a sandbox slot, and a starter credit balance.
  2. 02
    Start a new session
    Click the new session button in the sidebar. A session is a single thread of conversation tied to one project. You can have many sessions open at once.
  3. 03
    Describe the outcome you want
    Type a request in plain language. You can also use a slash command to target a specific persona. Examples: /cortex map the top 10 competitors in fintech KYC, /specter find 100 SaaS founders raising Series A, draft a contract for our standard MSA.
  4. 04
    Review the plan
    Ultron picks the right skill, drafts a step-by-step plan, and surfaces it inline. Each step shows the tool it will use and any inputs it expects. You can edit the inputs before approving.
  5. 05
    Approve and watch it ship
    Click approve. The skill engine executes each step, streams its progress into the session canvas, and pauses for your sign off on anything that leaves the building. Final output is downloadable as PNG, PDF, or saved into your brain.

Next steps

Things to read once you have shipped your first run.

Troubleshooting

Most failed first runs trace back to one of these three issues.

The session sits on booting for more than a minute
The sandbox host is not picking up the boot request. Refresh the page once. If it persists, the reconciler at /api/cron/reconcile-jobs will release the slot within sixty seconds. Try again then.
The skill stops at wait_for_approval
That is expected. The skill is asking for your sign off before it ships something outside your account (sending an email, posting to LinkedIn, charging a card). Click approve in the inline card or edit the proposed action first.
A tool returns a tool error
A provider is not connected for your user. Open settings, go to integrations, and link the provider the skill is asking for. Retry the same prompt and the tool will succeed.
