Quickstart

Define a multi-agent workflow in markdown, compile it, and run it — all in under 5 minutes.

1

Subscribe & Log In

Head to the subscription page and create an account. Agent Orchestrator is usage-based — you only pay for the tokens and executions you use.

Once logged in, open Agent Orchestrator from the sidebar.

2

Write a Workflow in Markdown

Navigate to Workflows and click New Workflow. Use the built-in CodeMirror editor — or pick a template from the gallery — to define your workflow:

workflow.md
# Market Research Report

## Inputs
- topic: The subject to research (string, required)

## Agents

### Researcher

## Steps

### Research
Search the knowledge base for information about {inputs.topic}.
Find key facts, trends, and insights.

### Write Report

Save & Compile

Click Save. The orchestrator compiles your markdown into a structured execution plan using Claude. You'll see a preview of the compiled plan showing agents, steps, and dependencies.

If there are issues (missing agents, circular dependencies), the compiler will flag them with notes so you can fix them before running.

4

Run the Workflow

Click Run on the workflow page. Fill in any required inputs (like topic) and confirm.

The execution page shows real-time progress:

  • A segmented progress bar showing which step is running
  • Step-by-step results — expand each step to see its output
  • Token usage per step and total
  • A Stop button if you need to cancel mid-run
5

View & Download Output

When the workflow completes, the final output renders at the bottom of the execution page. Content is auto-detected — markdown renders as formatted prose, JSON is syntax-highlighted, and code blocks display with language hints.

Click Download to save the output as a file (.md, .json, etc. based on content type).
