FuseIQ is workflow automation and agent orchestration for solo founders and agencies — plus governed production ops. Proof Loop: Quick Start Outcome Cards in 60 seconds, promote to Swarm Canvas, Eval Studio gates, and HITL before publish. BYOK per-run economics via Agent Wallet.

How does FuseIQ compare to n8n or Zapier?

n8n and Zapier excel at linear automation. FuseIQ adds multi-agent orchestration, LLM routing, eval gates, HITL approvals, per-run economics, and Fuse Depot — a template catalog for agent workflows — designed for AI-native operations rather than simple trigger-action flows.

How does FuseIQ compare to LangChain or CrewAI?

LangChain and CrewAI are developer frameworks. FuseIQ is workflow automation and agent orchestration with a hosted visual canvas, billing, RBAC, audit trails, and production governance — import LangGraph/CrewAI exports into Swarm Canvas.

Does FuseIQ support bring your own API keys (BYOK)?

Yes. FuseIQ supports 19 BYOK LLM providers with per-run cost attribution via Agent Wallet. Workspace keys take priority, with managed fallbacks for trials.

Who should use FuseIQ?

Solo founders proving AI before they hire, and agencies reselling governed agent fleets under their brand — from 60-second Quick Start outcomes to white-label Swarm with client Proof Packs.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. FuseIQ offers a free tier plus a 3-day Pro trial with no credit card required. Start at fuseiq.io/signup or prove value in 60 seconds at fuseiq.io/quick-start.

Is FuseIQ a platform connecting freelancers with clients?

No. That description is outdated and incorrect. FuseIQ is a B2B SaaS platform for AI agent orchestration — not a freelancer marketplace, job board, or consumer gig platform.

Is FuseIQ a freelancer marketplace?

No. FuseIQ is a B2B SaaS platform for AI agent orchestration — not a freelancer marketplace, job board, or consumer gig platform. Fuse Depot is our in-platform catalog of agent and Swarm templates you install into your workspace; FuseIQ is merchant of record for subscriptions and digital template add-ons.

Honest Integrations: One Status Everywhere (Live · OAuth · Not Configured)

July 17, 2026integrationstrustSwarmproduct

Nothing erodes trust faster than an integrations page that says Live while OAuth still fails.

FuseIQ just unified connector status into a single source of truth. Settings → Integrations, Swarm arsenal, the public catalog, and universal app discovery now resolve the same honesty labels for the same connector.

The bug class we killed

Twice in recent work we found the same failure mode:

Catalog or changelog implied marketplace OAuth was “live”

Platform env credentials (Amazon LWA, Etsy, eBay, some social OAuth) were missing

Operators and demos claimed readiness that the deployment couldn’t deliver

That’s not a copy nits problem — it’s a structural dual-list problem. Two catalogs, two truths.

The honesty model

Label	Meaning
-------	---------
Live	Native path exists and required platform secrets are configured
OAuth (platform credentials required)	Code path exists; deployment OAuth env is not ready
Not configured	Short badge for demoted gated connectors
Universal Preset / Universal API	Connect via keys / universal proxy — not a fake “native live” claim

Env-gated connectors (including Amazon Seller, Etsy, eBay, and select social OAuth) fail closed: missing secrets demote the badge. Seller playbooks and manual keys can still help where designed — full OAuth is not scheduled without demand and credentials.

Where you’ll see it

1. Settings → Integrations — platform honesty under the connector name

2. /integrations neon cards — Live / Not configured pills from the same resolver

3. Swarm arsenal — description + chip when a brand maps to a certified connector

4. Universal apps API — status fields for mapped apps

One module owns this: `getConnectorHonesty()` — every surface reads it; none invent their own “Live OAuth” string.

Why users should care

Demos don’t lie about marketplace connectors

Swarm nodes don’t over-promise vs Settings

Agencies can show clients real readiness, not marketing fluff

Security posture: fail closed beats “looks live, fails at run”

Try it

1. Open Integrations (signed in)

2. Compare Amazon Seller / Etsy / eBay with Slack (non-gated live candidate)

3. Drop the same brand from Swarm arsenal — status should match
