// how it works

How it works

  1. Define the job

    Research, coding, browsing, or ops — agents work best with a clear goal.

  2. Pick a framework

    From no-code builders to code-first SDKs, match complexity to the task.

  3. Give it tools

    Web search, code execution, and APIs are what make agents useful.

  4. Run and supervise

    Watch the trace, approve consequential actions, iterate.

// features

Why people love it

Docker-ready

Ships with container support, so you can run it with a single compose file and predictable dependencies.

LLM-powered

Large language models drive its smartest features, locally or via API.

Human in the loop

Approval gates for actions that matter.

Memory

Long-term memory across sessions, not goldfish chat.

Multi-agent teams

Specialized agents collaborate on bigger jobs.

Tool use

Agents call real tools: browsers, terminals, APIs.
