// 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.

Why people love it

Markdown-native

Plain-text Markdown keeps your content portable forever.

Self-hosted by design

Tool use

Agents call real tools: browsers, terminals, APIs.

Evaluations

Benchmarks keep agent quality measurable.

Self-hosted

Run agents on your infra with your keys.

Model agnostic

Swap frontier models as better ones appear.

Is siyuan free for commercial use?

AGPL-3.0 — free to use, including over a network, with source-sharing obligations.

Are agents reliable enough?

For bounded tasks with supervision, yes. Fully autonomous money-moves still need guardrails.

How do I keep them safe?

Sandboxing, approval gates, and least-privilege credentials.

Do I need to code?

Builders exist, but code-first frameworks go further.
