Buddy Docs Open Studio

Getting Started

In plain terms: you already know who your user is. Buddy just needs a trustworthy way to learn the same thing, so the agent can be helpful without ever asking the user to log in again.

Key concepts

Identity Bridge
The mechanism that turns a token from your app into a verified Identity Context the agent can use.
Identity Context
A small, verified set of facts about the user: userId, optional email and role, plus any custom attributes you map.
Business API Tool
An optional tool that lets the agent call your own API, with the verified identity injected server-side.

The three-minute version

  1. In Studio, open your agent → Connections → User authentication.
  2. Pick a method (most teams start with JWT pass-through) and save your configuration.
  3. Embed the widget and hand it a user token (see below).
  4. Open the live console to confirm a sample token verifies.
