Before Your Session

A few quick things to set up before we hop on the call. You don't need to understand how any of this works — just follow the steps, save the tokens below, and I'll handle everything else when we meet.

Takes about 15 minutes. Each section walks you through creating a free account and copying a token. Save them in the fields as you go — they stay in your browser. Skip anything you're not sure about; we can do it together on the call.

Claude Subscription

This is the AI that powers everything. You'll need an active subscription before our session.

Claude Pro or Max

Your AI subscription ($20-200/mo)

If you already have a Claude account, you're good. If not, sign up for Pro ($20/mo) — you can easily upgrade later if you need to.

Cloud Sync

This lets you access your AI files from your phone. Pick the one that matches your phone — if you're not sure, we'll figure it out on the call.

iCloud Drive

iPhone users

Already on your Mac. Just make sure iCloud Drive is turned on in System Settings.

Google Drive

Android users

Download the Google Drive desktop app if you don't have it.

On a PC with an iPhone? iCloud for Windows works great.

Not sure? Skip it for now — we can set this up together.

Telegram Bot

This is how you'll talk to your AI from your phone — text messages, voice notes, photos, anything. It takes about 60 seconds. Do this part on your computer if you can — it'll make copying the token easier.

  1. 1
    Download Telegram if you don't have it: Desktop / iPhone / Android
  2. 2
    Open Telegram and search for @BotFather — this is Telegram's built-in tool for creating bots
  3. 3
    Send the message /newbot
  4. 4
    It'll ask for a name — type 0ne
  5. 5
    It'll ask for a username (must end in bot). Pick any of these — just replace "yourname" with your actual name:
    yourname_one_botyourname_ai_botyourname_0ne_botyourname_assistant_botyourname_personal_botyourname_hub_botyourfirstlast_botyourname_pro_botyourname_cmd_botyourname_ops_bot
  6. 6
    BotFather will reply with a long token that looks like 7123456789:AAF-abc123... — copy it and paste it below.

Slack App

This puts your AI right inside your Slack workspace. A bit more steps than Telegram, but we've got a shortcut — a pre-made config you just copy and paste.

Don't use Slack? Skip this section entirely.

  1. 1
    Go to api.slack.com/apps and sign in
  2. 2
    Click the green Create New App button → choose From an app manifest
  3. 3
    Pick your workspace from the dropdown
  4. 4
    You'll see a text box. Delete whatever's in there, then copy and paste this entire block:
slack-app-manifest.json
{
  "display_information": {
    "name": "0ne",
    "description": "Personal AI Infrastructure",
    "background_color": "#FF692D"

        "app_mentions:read",
        "users:read",
        "files:read",
        "files:write"
      ]
    }
  },
  "settings": {
    "event_subscriptions": {
      "bot_events": [
        "message.im",
        "app_mention"
      ]
    },
    "interactivity": {
      "is_enabled": false
    },
    "org_deploy_enabled": false,

    "token_rotation_enabled": false
  }
}

Voice (Optional)

Want to send voice messages to your AI and hear it talk back? These two services make that possible. Both are optional — we can always add them later.

Groq — Voice Transcription (Free)

This lets your AI understand voice notes you send it.

  1. 1
    Go to console.groq.com and create a free account
  2. 2
    Click API Keys in the sidebar → create a new key → copy it

ElevenLabs — Voice Responses (Free to start)

This lets your AI respond with a realistic voice. The free plan gives you about 10 minutes of audio per month — enough to try it out. Paid plans start at $5/mo if you want more. Not required — your AI works great with text only.

  1. 1
    Go to elevenlabs.io and create an account
  2. 2
    Click your profile icon → Profile + API key → copy your API key

You're All Set

That's everything. Here's a summary of what you've collected. Download the file below and have it ready for our session — I'll tell you where to put it.

Your tokens are saved in your browser only — nothing is sent anywhere. If you missed any, don't worry — we'll fill in the gaps together on the call.
