The fastest way: Install a Template​

The quickest way to explore ORQO is to install a pre-built workflow from the Template Library. Templates come with everything — a team of agents, stages, routing, hooks — ready to run.

  1. Create a Project — Go to Projects and create a new one, or open an existing project. For a new project, give it a name and description.
  2. Create a Workflow from Template — Inside your project, go to Workflows → New Workflow. Browse the template library, pick one that looks interesting, and install it.
  3. Assign an LLM — The template creates a team and workflow for you, but you need to assign an LLM configuration to the team. Platform-provided configs are available out of the box, backed by ORQO's platform credits — no API key needed.
  4. Run it — Click Run and watch the agents work. Each stage shows its status and result in real time.

Each template comes with a sample run — a complete pre-recorded workflow execution showing every stage, agent interaction, tool call, and result. You can review the full output without spending a single token. Once you understand what the workflow does and how the agents collaborate, run it yourself or start modifying it. The installed workflow is yours: rename stages, change agent roles, adjust routing, swap models, add tools. It's a fully independent copy you can take apart and rebuild.

This is the best way to learn how teams, stages, hooks, and routing work together — by seeing a working example and modifying it, rather than building from scratch.

Alternative: Have a Conversation​

Don't want to click through the UI? Talk to an AI assistant instead. You can open a dialogue with the Workflow Assistant or the Tool Builder directly in the ORQO dashboard — or reach them through your Doorkeeper via Slack, WhatsApp, or Telegram. Describe what you want:

"Create a project called Market Research. Set up a workflow with three stages: one that researches competitors, one that compares pricing, and one that writes a summary. Run it weekly."

The Workflow Assistant creates the project, builds the workflow, adds stages, assigns agents, and wires in the right tools. If a tool is missing, the Tool Builder creates it. You can do all of this from a voice message while on the go.

Workflow Assistant in the chat drawer — describe what you want and it lays out the team, stages, and tools right there next to your project

Alternative: Build from Scratch​

If you prefer to start with a blank slate:

1. Create a Project (or use an existing one)​

Go to Projects and create a new one — or open an existing project if you already have one. For a new project, give it a name and description that reflect your goal.

2. Build a Team with Agents​

Inside your project, create a Team:

  • Select an LLM configuration — platform-provided configs are available out of the box, backed by ORQO's platform credits. No need to bring your own API key.
  • Add one or more Agents with descriptive roles (e.g., "Researcher", "Writer").
  • Optionally assign Skills to agents if they need tool access.

3. Create and Run a Workflow​

Still inside the project, create a Workflow:

  • Assign it to your Team.
  • Add Stages — each with a task description and agent assignments.
  • Click Run to execute the workflow.

Monitor progress on the workflow run page. Each stage shows its status and result as the agents work through the sequence.

Platform Credits vs. Your Own Keys​

Every ORQO subscription includes a pool of platform credits that cover LLM usage out of the box. When you use a platform-provided LLM configuration, each LLM call deducts from your credit balance based on actual token usage. You can monitor your balance and top up credits anytime from Settings → Billing.

When credits run low, you have two options:

  • Top up credits — add more balance from the billing page.
  • Bring your own API key — add your own provider credential (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) under Settings → Credentials and create a custom LLM configuration that uses it. This bypasses platform credits entirely — you pay the provider directly.
