ElevenLabs Open Account

Quick start

1. Ensure the user has (or will create) an ElevenLabs account (sign up with affiliate link). 2. For API access (TTS, STT, agents), get an API key from the profile/settings after logging in (see "Getting an API key" below). 3. For Creative Platform (speech, music, cloning) or Agents Platform, use the same account; access depends on plan.

Opening an ElevenLabs account

Use this workflow when the user needs to open or sign up for an ElevenLabs account (voice AI, text-to-speech, agents, or API).

Checklist:

[ ] Open ElevenLabs sign-up: Get started with ElevenLabs

[ ] Click Sign up (or Log in if the user already has an account).

[ ] Complete registration (email, password, etc.) and any verification.

[ ] After logging in, the user can use the Creative Platform, Agents Platform, or get an API key for developers.

Steps:

1. Navigate to https://try.elevenlabs.io/ipu2xmg9cwqu to sign up or start a free trial. 2. Click Sign up (or Log in if the user already has an account). 3. Enter the required details (email, password, etc.) and submit. 4. Complete any email verification or onboarding the platform requests. 5. After logging in, the user has an ElevenLabs account and can use the Creative Platform (text-to-speech, music, voice cloning, etc.) or the Agents Platform (conversational voice/chat agents). For API access, see "Getting an API key" below.

Getting an API key

Use this after the user has an ElevenLabs account and needs to call the API (e.g. from code, clawdbot, or integrations).

Checklist:

[ ] Log in at ElevenLabs (or the app URL from sign-up).

[ ] Go to Profile or Settings → API keys (e.g. elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api-keys or Developers section).

[ ] Create an API key; copy it and store it securely.

[ ] Use the key in the xi-api-key header or in the official client libraries; never commit it to code or this skill.

Steps:

1. Log in to your ElevenLabs account. 2. Open Settings (or Profile) and find API keys (or Developers). 3. Create a new API key; optionally set scope and credit limits. 4. Copy the key immediately (it may not be shown again). Store in environment variables (e.g. ELEVENLABS_API_KEY) or a secrets manager. 5. Use it in requests: header xi-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY, or via the official ElevenLabs client libraries. Never expose the key in client-side code or version control.

Examples

Example 1 – User wants to try ElevenLabs voice AI

User says: "I want to try ElevenLabs for voiceovers."

Agent applies this skill: walk through "Opening an ElevenLabs account" using the sign-up link. After they have an account, they can use the Creative Platform in the browser for text-to-speech, voice cloning, or music.

Example 2 – User wants an API key for their bot

User says: "I need an ElevenLabs API key for my agent."

Agent applies this skill: confirm they have an account; if not, use "Opening an ElevenLabs account" with the sign-up link. Then guide "Getting an API key" (Settings → API keys, create key, store securely). Remind them to use the key only server-side.
