Practical overview

When it fits

Use Ekko Studio when you want a desktop or self-hosted workspace that combines agent chat, coding-agent integrations and visual workflow orchestration.

Who it is for

  • People who want a shared interface for conversations with multiple AI agents.
  • Developers using supported coding-agent CLIs from a Studio host machine.
  • Teams or individuals organizing agent steps in visual workflows with conditions and approval gates.

Documented uses

  • Start and manage conversations with supported agents.
  • Connect coding agents such as Claude Code or Codex to a shared workspace.
  • Arrange agent steps, routes and human approval points in a visual workflow.
  • Keep Studio chat sessions in local SQLite storage, separate from Hermes Agent state.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

Available as desktop builds for Windows, macOS and Linux, and as an npm-based self-hosted web console. The npm installation requires Node.js 23 or newer.

  • Select desktop or self-hosted web deployment according to how you want to run the workspace.
  • Coding-agent CLIs run on the machine hosting the Studio backend and must be installed there.
  • Scoped configuration can use a selected Studio provider and model for supported runtimes; global mode uses the CLI’s existing configuration and sign-in.
  • Models, tools and context controls depend on the selected runtime.
  • Studio session storage and Hermes Agent state are separate.

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