Building with RivalBot

RivalBot is the AI assistant built into Studio. Instead of starting from a blank editor, you describe what you need in plain language and RivalBot generates a complete tool — code, input schema, test cases, metadata, and icon — then opens it in the Tool Editor for review. It’s also available inside the editor for iterating on tools you already have.

Building a tool from Studio

1. Open Studio from the sidebar.
2. Use the “What do you want to build?” prompt to describe your tool.
3. Answer any clarifying questions RivalBot asks.
4. When generation finishes, the Tool Editor opens with every section pre-filled.

Typical prompts: extract page metadata from a URL, analyze a CSV for outliers, categorize customer emails by sentiment and urgency.

Editing an existing tool

Tools you own show a RivalBot chat panel in the editor. Common requests: “improve the code,” “add error handling,” “write tests,” “explain logic,” “debug this error,” “generate documentation,” “generate a changelog.” RivalBot can modify any part of the tool, and the conversation history persists per tool.

RivalBot reuses what already exists

Before writing new code, RivalBot searches the marketplace:

• Build pre-check — if your request matches existing tools, RivalBot shows them as cards so you can Use existing or Build anyway.
• Inline execution — for requests that don’t need a new build, RivalBot can run marketplace tools right in the chat, showing the tool name, inputs, and result.

Tips

• Be specific. Detailed prompts beat broad ones.
• Make incremental changes. One modification at a time is easier to review and undo.
• Test frequently. Run test cases after each change.
• Treat drafts as starting points. Edit by hand or ask RivalBot to adjust.

In the enterprise

What RivalBot can do for a team is configured by the admin, so it stays inside your organization’s guardrails while still lowering the barrier to building. See Governance & Approvals.
