// how it works

How it works

  1. Clarify the workflow

    Describe the multi-step task in natural language — what to open, extract, fill in or produce.

  2. Install the packages

    Add the Eko core package (and the nodejs, web or extension package for your environment) with pnpm.

  3. Configure a model key

    Provide at least one model API key for the agents to reason with.

  4. Run your first workflow

    Start from one of the bundled examples — extension, Node.js automation or web login — and watch the agent execute your description.

Why people love it

Natural-language workflows

Production-ready agentic workflows are built from natural-language descriptions rather than hand-coded step scripts.

Browser and computer operation

Agents perform browser automation and web scraping, system file and process management, and GUI automation.

Dependency-aware parallel agents

Eko 3.0 introduced dependency-aware parallel agent execution, so independent sub-tasks run concurrently in the right order.

Pause, resume and interrupt

Task controls with task_snapshot workflow recovery let long automations be paused, resumed and safely interrupted.

Chat conversations

Eko 4.0 supports chat conversations on top of the workflow engine, with optimized agent logic.

Three deployment shapes

Ships examples and packages for a browser extension, a web application and a Node.js (Playwright) automation host.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Clone Eko and enter the monorepo.

    git clone https://github.com/FellouAI/eko.git
    cd eko
  2. Install the framework

    For your own project, add the core package with pnpm (in the repo, build the workspace packages first).

    pnpm install @eko-ai/eko
  3. Build and run an example

    Build the core packages, then run the Node.js/Playwright example with a model API key configured.

    pnpm install
    pnpm build
    # Then follow example/nodejs — provide at least one model API key before running

Questions, answered

Who maintains Eko?

Eko is maintained by FellouAI (the team behind the Fellou browser), with the product page at fellou.ai/eko.

Is Eko free?

Yes — the framework is open source under the MIT license. You pay for the model APIs your agents call.

Does it need a paid API key?

Yes — the examples require at least one model API key before running, since Eko's agents reason with an LLM you provide.

How does it compare to LangChain or browser-use?

The README publishes its own framework comparison; Eko's emphasis is production workflows described in natural language that operate both the browser and the computer, with parallel agents and pause/resume recovery.

How do I get started?

Add @eko-ai/eko with pnpm, configure a model key, and run the bundled Node.js or extension example.
