How it works

When we say it’s fast, this is what we mean.

From an empty page to a working assistant — here’s what you’ll need and how to do it.

Before you start

Two things.

You’ll need a website that you can paste one line of code into, and you’ll need your own Claude API key. Getting an API key requires signing up with Anthropic and setting up billing — that’s how you’ll pay for your AI usage, at cost.

If you would rather see copadre on your site before doing either, ask us and we will build one for you.

Your agent

Built in plain English.

An agent is a set of instructions in your own words — what it does, what it knows, how it speaks. Give it a name, a greeting and a Claude model, and it’s ready. Nothing to code.

Building

What makes an agent?

A name and a job description are enough. Everything else can be explored when you’re ready. You can create the job description in a structured editor or just paste something you’ve prepared into the source view — whichever you prefer.

Testing

The first conversation is private.

Every agent has its own preview chat. Save changes as a draft and test your agent with different models. Publish it when you’re ready.

Going live

One line of code, style it to suit.

Paste the agent’s embed code into your web page and add CSS styling to make it fit your brand. You can start with the ready-made stylesheet in the documentation if you like.

One job each

A simple agent is a happy agent.

AI frequently looks good but then fails to deliver in the real world. Because the real world is big and complex. And big, complex agents just don’t perform well — a single agent that tries to cover sales, support and search often ends up containing overlapping instructions, which confuse the agent, making it unreliable and expensive. A specialist agent is easier to build, more reliable and more accurate — and cheaper to run too.

The copadre difference

A team trained to work together.

A core concept of copadre is multi-agent routing. This is the ability of agents to pass conversations between themselves. When an agent is no longer the best agent to handle a conversation, it can hand it off for the right agent to pick it up — all done silently in the background, with the whole conversation passed on and, from the visitor’s perspective, not a beat dropped.

The concierge

Silently handing visitors to the right agent.

It’s the job of the concierge agent to make sure that every visitor is speaking with the right agent. If a specialist hands a conversation off, the concierge reviews the whole conversation, prioritises the most recent messages and passes it back to the best available agent.

A copadre cluster: the visitor talks to a silent concierge, which places the conversation with the Contact Handler, App Support or Search specialist; specialists hand back anything outside their remit.
Agent chaining

Combine agents to deliver multi-step processes.

You may want to deliberately hand a conversation between a series of agents — maybe the first agent gathers information, the second agent does quality control and the third confirms everything nicely.

A copadre chain: agents hand the visitor forward as each finishes its part of a step-by-step process.

Manage your conversations

Check how your agent is doing.

Get notified when a conversation has finished. Log in to read it in full. Manage your inbox and archive conversations as needed.

Your other tools

Do the day-to-day from Claude.

Connect Claude, or any AI tool that speaks MCP, to your copadre account and manage agents, review conversations and write reports in conversation. A conversation on your site can become a contact in your CRM or a message in Slack, and a cancelled meeting can become availability that your agent knows about.
