Smythos Studio

SmythOS Studio is an open-source visual environment for building AI agent workflows, with a React application, backend services and a runtime package for executing agents. Its drag-and-drop builder can be extended with custom code and integrations; the runtime uses SmythOS’s SRE Core Engine.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use SmythOS Studio when a visual workflow authoring experience is useful but you also want a custom-code extension path and a separately identified runtime for agent execution.

Who it is for

  • Teams that want to model AI agent workflows visually.
  • Developers who want to extend visual designs with custom components or integrations.
  • People preparing a self-managed development or Docker Compose setup for the builder and runtime.

Documented uses

  • Assemble multi-step agent workflows using visual components.
  • Connect language models, APIs and data-processing steps in an agent design.
  • Test and debug agents during development.
  • Run agents through the runtime and deploy them as chatbots, APIs or integrations.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identifies the project as open source under the MIT license. The README documents Docker Compose and local development setup paths.

  • The app, middleware and runtime are separate packages with distinct roles.
  • The local development path requires MySQL configuration and subdomains for embodiments.
  • The Docker Compose path uses .env.compose.example and identifies http://localhost:6060 as the application address.
  • Repository topics mention MCP client and A2A, but the project description does not specify integrations or implementation details.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Start SmythOS Studio with Docker Compose

Set up the Studio application using the repository’s Docker quick-start instructions.

Before you start

  • Git and Docker Compose are available in the environment.

Steps

  1. Clone the repository with the command below.

    Documented command
    git clone https://github.com/SmythOS/smythos-studio.git

  2. Change into the cloned smythos-studio directory.

  3. Copy .env.compose.example to .env.

  4. Run the command below, then access the application at http://localhost:6060.

    Documented command
    docker compose up -d

Expected outcome

The Docker Compose setup is started, and the README identifies `http://localhost:6060` as the application address.

Set up SmythOS Studio for local development

Install the project dependencies and start the local development servers.

Before you start

  • Git and pnpm are available.
  • A MySQL database and the required embodiment subdomains must be configured for the application’s next setup stage.

Steps

  1. Clone the repository and change into the smythos-studio directory.

  2. Copy .env.example to .env and edit .env with database credentials.

  3. Install dependencies with pnpm install.

  4. Start the development servers with pnpm dev.

  5. Configure MySQL in .env and set up the required subdomains for embodiments; consult the Contributing Guide for detailed setup.

Expected outcome

The local development servers are started; the README identifies MySQL and embodiment subdomain configuration as next steps.

Guide limitations

  • The README directs users to CONTRIBUTING.md for complete development setup instructions.
  • This recipe covers development setup, not creating, testing, or deploying an agent.
