Empire Builder Getting Started Guide
Your empire is ready

Live in 30 seconds.
Just paste.

No projects. No uploads. No account setup. One paste into any AI chat and your empire is running today.

Step 1 of 2
Copy your activation code.
Hit Copy — it grabs the code from your ZIP automatically.
Couldn't copy automatically.
Open setup-code.txt from your ZIP, select all the text (CtrlA or A), then copy it (CtrlC or C).
Already have it from your account dashboard? Skip to Step 2.
Step 2 of 2
Open your AI and paste.
Open a plain new chat in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini — no project setup needed. Paste the code and hit send.

Sign in first. Sign in to your AI (Claude / ChatGPT / Gemini) before you paste — that's what lets it remember your setup between chats. If you paste while logged out, it works for that one chat only and won't be saved.

Use Ctrl+V. To paste, click the message box and press Ctrl+V (right-click Paste can be blocked until you approve a clipboard prompt).

Windows / Linux

Open a new chat → click the message box → Ctrl V → Enter

Mac

Open a new chat → click the message box → V → Return

iPhone / Android

Open a new chat → tap the message box → long-press → tap Paste

Your AI will ask you to name your Personal Assistant. That's the first moment your empire comes to life.

Your empire is alive.

Your Personal Assistant, your desks, your first business — all there.
The same chat is your headquarters. Start your first briefing now.

Optional — for daily use

Keep your empire across sessions. Optional

In a plain chat your AI forgets between sessions. To have your PA remember you every time, set up a persistent workspace — takes two minutes, same copy-paste code.

1
Create a persistent workspace. Claude: claude.ai → Projects → New Project.
ChatGPT: chatgpt.com → Explore GPTs → Create → Configure tab.
Gemini: gemini.google.com → Gems → New Gem.
2
Paste your activation code into Instructions. Use the same code from Step 1 above. Save.
3
Optional: upload empire-sheet.html and block.json from your ZIP into the knowledge/files section. This gives your AI richer visual context but the empire works without it.
Expanding your empire

Adding a block.

Each block ZIP you buy works the same way. Open your empire chat, copy the block's setup-code.txt, paste it in as a message. Done — your new business is added, and your assistant runs it from its own desk.

Common questions
Which AI should I use?
Any of the three works. Already using one? Load your empire there. Starting fresh? Claude (claude.ai) is a great place to begin — free to start.
Can I load my empire into more than one AI?
Yes. Your ZIP is yours. Paste the activation code into Claude AND ChatGPT if you like — same empire, both places.
My assistant stopped remembering me. What happened?
You're probably in a plain chat. Either re-paste your activation code to restart the session, or set up a Project / GPT / Gem (optional section above) for persistent memory.
