# Creator Agent
> Turn a creator's documents, audio, and video into a source-grounded audience agent—without giving up control of private content or silently spending anyone's AI credits.
Creator Agent is a mobile-first platform for building an AI agent grounded in creator-approved content. Creators can add or connect knowledge, review what the system learned, configure voice and boundaries, and preview how an audience agent answers with citations.

The beta uses managed Auth0 sign-in and a protected API backed by PostgreSQL. It intentionally makes **zero AI-provider calls**: the current answer, customization, and load flows are deterministic, so trying the product does not consume the creator's or developer's model tokens. Render Free services may need up to about 50 seconds to wake after inactivity.
Creator Agent is currently most useful for:
- creators exploring a conversational layer for videos, podcasts, courses, newsletters, or documentation;
- developers studying private-by-default ingestion, grounded answers, tenant isolation, and bring-your-own-agent routing;
- early design partners willing to test onboarding, trust, customization, and source-review workflows.
## Project status
The repository contains a test-first, responsive web MVP and a deployed public beta. It demonstrates the product, privacy, routing, authentication, persistence, and concurrency behavior without introducing a paid AI provider.
The default local simulator is intentionally deterministic and network-free. **It makes no AI-provider calls, consumes no AI tokens, and cannot create model charges.** The live Auth0 mode connects to the protected Creator Agent API and durable Neon PostgreSQL database, but it still does not invoke an AI provider.
## E2E prototype video
Watch a narrated, captioned 33-second walkthrough of the creator studio, source ingestion, grounded answers with citations, agent customization, user-owned routing, and multi-user load controls. A separate WebVTT transcript is available for accessibility. The simulated product flow remains deterministic and makes no AI-provider or token-consuming requests; narration was synthesized from the published transcript without a developer API key.

### Available now
| Capability | Current implementation |
| --- | --- |
| Managed creator authentication | The live beta uses Auth0 Universal Login with OIDC Authorization Code and PKCE, in-memory token caching, stable `sub` identity, and login/logout/error states. |
| Protected creator API | `GET /v1/me` validates Auth0 JWT signature, issuer, audience, expiration, `RS256`, subject, and `read:creator` permission before returning an internal creator ID. |
