    Tell it in chat what you want automated.

  3. Review the build

    It generates readable workflows and scoped agents.

  4. Run and share

    Use the result yourself or ship small apps to the team.

Questions, answered

What does community edition mean?

It is the open, self-hostable edition; check the site for how it differs from paid tiers.

Can I use livecontext-ce commercially?

Custom license β€” read the repo's license file first.

Do I need to write code?

The chat-driven builder aims to minimize coding for standard flows.

How are agents scoped?

Agents get bounded permissions so they only touch what they should.

What do I need to self-host?

Docker support is listed, so a server with Docker is the typical route.
