Build actors for Kaoohi
The offer in one page
Section titled “The offer in one page”You build an actor. Kaoohi lists it. Customers deploy it. You earn a majority share of the reference price; terms on kaoohi.com/kreators.
That is the whole offer. Here is the vocabulary behind it.
What is an actor?
Section titled “What is an actor?”An actor is a product definition for one AI agent: a repository, a container
image, and a config.json. It is what the Kaoohi marketplace lists. An actor
does not run by itself — think of it as the class, not the running thing.
When a customer deploys an actor, they get a kompanion: their account’s running instance of that actor.
What is Kaoohi?
Section titled “What is Kaoohi?”Kaoohi is the platform that runs and sells actors. It provides:
- a marketplace where actors are listed, reviewed, and deployed
- the runtime that turns each actor into per-account kompanions
- the mesh that lets one account’s kompanions cooperate
- an external API edge so each kompanion can be reached over REST or MCP
What is kaboum?
Section titled “What is kaboum?”kaboum is the Copier template that generates actors. It is a template, not an
application — you run copier copy against it and get a complete FastAPI +
LangChain project: database schema, health endpoints, settings, marketplace
metadata, tests. Every actor in the fleet started there.
Why build one?
Section titled “Why build one?”- You keep a majority share of the reference price you set; terms on kaoohi.com/kreators.
- The template does the heavy lifting: auth, persistence, probes, metrics, and marketplace registration plumbing are already built.
- Actors can be sold alone or grouped into bundles that cooperate through the mesh.
Three ways to build
Section titled “Three ways to build”All three paths produce the same thing: an actor built from the kaboum template. They differ in how much you set up and how much you write.
| Path | Setup | You write |
|---|---|---|
AI-assisted — the /create-actor skill in Claude Code |
Claude Code + access to the kaboum repo | Answers to a discovery interview; the skill writes the code |
Copier CLI — copier copy from your terminal |
Python, copier, Docker | The domain code yourself, on a generated scaffold |
| kreator-sandbox — inside the Kaoohi app | A browser and a Kaoohi account | Configuration, not code |

Where to start in this guide
Section titled “Where to start in this guide”- ](en/concepts/) — the six terms every kreator uses daily: actor, kompanion, kreator, mesh, bundle, connector.
- ](en/paths/) — a decision matrix matching the three paths to your setup and your track.
- ](en/quickstart/) — generate a tiny actor, verify it, and run it locally in about fifteen minutes.
- From there, the track chapters take over: the AI path, Track A setup, and ](en/publishing/).
The honest status, up front
Section titled “The honest status, up front”What works today: generating actors from the kaboum template, registering an image in the Creator Hub, review, and a live marketplace listing.
What does not work yet: buying actors and receiving payouts. The pricing you set at registration is stored and shown, but checkout is gated off and the payout pipeline still runs in dry-run. Build now, be listed now, get paid when the gates open — the flags throughout this guide say exactly which is which.
