This is a quick overview on how you can start using Open Swarm to the fullest. For a deeper dive, on each of these features, check out the rest of our docs. If you have any questions join our discord here and chat directly with the Open Swarm team.
Step 1) Launch an Agent
The core functionality of OpenSwarm revolves around Agents. Click the ”+” button in your toolbar to launch a new Agent. Agents can take actions for you, work with files on your computer, and much more.
Within an Agent’s input, you can choose what AI model powers it, the mode it runs in, and attach context via ”@” and ”/” commands.
Step 2) Connect your actions
Actions are how your Agents interact with the outside world - Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, Slack, and more. Head to the Connections page to link your accounts and unlock what your Agents can do.
Once connected, your Agents can read emails, create events, update databases, and take real actions across your tools - all from a single conversation.
Step 3) Browsers
OpenSwarm has built-in browsers so you never have to jump between apps. Stay in one place, stay in the zone - just one seamless workspace for you and your Agents.
And when you’d rather not do it yourself, let an Agent open & control browsers, navigate sites, fill out forms, and complete tasks end-to-end while you watch it happen in real time.
Step 4) Select and send
Select any existing browser or agent in your dashboard to let a new agent control it. It’s the fastest way to get things done — just select something on your dashboard and let your Agent handle the rest.
No copy-pasting, no context-switching. Just select, send, and let your Agent take it from there.
Step 5) Make it yours
Customize how OpenSwarm works with Skills, Modes, and Apps. Skills teach your Agents reusable workflows. Modes let you switch between different behavior profiles. Apps are standalone applications that run directly in OpenSwarm that Agents build for you.
Explore the Customization & Apps sections in the sidebar to get started — or just ask an Agent to help you create your first Skill.
