Introduction
What ottom8 is and how the pieces fit together.
ottom8 is a visual platform for building AI-powered agents and workflows. You compose flows by dragging components onto a canvas and connecting them, then run the result in the Playground or integrate it into your own systems.
How it's organized
Get Started
Access ottom8 and build your first flow.
Flows
The canvas, testing, and moving flows around.
Components
Every core component and provider bundle.
Agents
Tool-calling agents and the ottom8 Assistant.
Develop
Global variables and data types.
Core concepts
- Flow — a graph of connected components that defines how data moves from inputs to outputs.
- Component — a single reusable node in a flow: a model, a tool, a vector store, an agent, or your own custom Python code.
- Run — executing a flow once, from the Playground or from wherever it's been integrated.
Once a flow is built, it becomes a reusable building block you can embed in a larger flow or integrate into your own systems.
