Setup

Get ready before the day. The more you prepare, the more you build.

$ Your Model Account

Bring your own account

You'll build with the AI model account you already use: ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. Each one pairs with a tool below. No account yet, or unsure which to pick? We'll walk you through the options and get you ready on the day.

Heads up: even the free tier gets you going. ChatGPT Free already includes Codex CLI access, which is fine for a first look. To really build your agent during the day, though, we recommend an active paid plan. It starts small: ChatGPT Go from $8/mo, or a Pro tier like Google Antigravity Pro at $20/mo. All plans are month-to-month, so you can cancel anytime after the event. No enterprise plan needed.
