Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when a deliverable calls for coordinated contributions from several AI roles and you want workflow-level organization, acceptance criteria, or human approval points.

Who it is for

  • People assembling AI roles to produce structured work such as plans, analyses, articles, or code-review reports.
  • Teams or individual builders who want to configure and run multi-step AI workflows through a graphical interface, CLI, or YAML.

Documented uses

  • Break a broad request into role-specific tasks and coordinate their execution.
  • Bring multiple AI perspectives together in a single deliverable.
  • Define workflow acceptance criteria and route major decisions for human approval.
  • Edit workflows visually or configure them with YAML.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project identifies itself as Apache-2.0 licensed. Its README describes CLI installation through npm and a desktop app with the engine and Node bundled. Model access requires either a supported provider API key or an installed and authenticated compatible local CLI; the README says the latter can be detected automatically.

  • A model provider or compatible local CLI is needed for AI work; the project itself is orchestration software.
  • The README describes major-decision sign-off and acceptance checks, useful when workflows need explicit review points.
  • The project supports graphical Studio use as well as CLI and YAML configuration.
  • The implementation language is TypeScript and the repository specifies the Apache-2.0 license.

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 the local Web Studio

Open the local graphical interface for configuring and running workflows.

Before you start

  • A working Agency Orchestrator CLI installation so the ao command is available.

Steps

  1. Run ao web locally.

  2. Use the browser-based Studio to select experts, run workflows, view outputs, and intervene while they run.

Expected outcome

The local Web Studio provides a graphical interface for workflow use and monitoring.

Guide limitations

  • The README does not specify a browser address or setup options for this step.
  • Using CLI-based providers requires the corresponding provider CLI to be installed and logged in; API-key providers require their key to be configured.
