Sidekick Forge Docs
Sidekick Forge lets you build AI sidekicks: assistants with their own personality, voice, face and knowledge. People can talk to them, type to them or video-chat with them on your website, by email and on Telegram. They can also take on work for you while you're away.
New here? Start with these three
1. Create your first sidekick
The nine-step wizard. You can also just talk it through with Farah. It takes about five minutes.
2. Make it yours
Use the sidekick's configuration page to change how it thinks, sounds, looks and behaves.
3. Put it on your site
Copy one snippet for a full chat panel, a floating chat bubble or a search page.
How the pieces fit together
Each sidekick has a configuration page, called its Sheet. The tabs on the Sheet follow a simple idea: a sidekick has a mind, a body and a spirit, a set of abilities, and places where people can reach it.
| Tab | What it decides |
|---|---|
| Mind | Which AI model does the thinking, where it runs, and which documents it can read. |
| Body | Its voice, how it hears people, and its video avatar. |
| Spirit | Its personality, written in its own words. |
| Abilities | What it can do: search the web, write articles, send email, run your shop, and more. |
| Connections | Where people reach it: the embed, email, Telegram and a public search page. |
| Senses & Autonomy | What it watches on its own (inboxes, feeds) and how much it may do without asking. |
| Scheduled Tasks | Reminders, morning briefs and abilities it runs on a schedule. |
| Wizards | Short guided conversations it runs: surveys, lead qualification, feedback. |
| Settings | Usage this month, citations and payments. |
