// 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.

Tool use

Agents call real tools: browsers, terminals, APIs.

Run agents on your infra with your keys.
