Every FuseIQ workflow follows the same loop: Start → Execute → Get Results. Use Swarm Canvas for multi-step workflows, Ops Kanban for tracked work, or Chat Hub for quick @agent questions.

Step 1 — Start: open Swarm or Chat Hub

Swarm Canvas is best for repeatable workflows (lead research, content pipelines, approval gates). Chat Hub is fastest for one-off questions.

Open Swarm Canvas → click Templates → choose a beginner template (e.g. Lead Research).

Or open Chat Hub and type @strategist followed by your task.

Upload docs to Knowledge Vault first — agents automatically search your files for grounded answers.

Step 2 — Execute: run the workflow

In Swarm, click the green Execute button in the console panel. Nodes light up in order — watch the live progress bar and node status indicators.

Click Execute (or press the play button in Zone D Console).

Each node runs in sequence (or parallel if you added a Parallel Gate). Credits are deducted per LLM call.

If a node has an Approval Gate, the workflow pauses until you approve in Approvals — then resumes automatically.

Step 3 — Get Results: read and export output

When all nodes complete, the Console shows the final output. Copy it, export as JSON, or route to Slack/email via an Output node.

Check the Console panel (Zone D) for the full agent response.

Green checkmarks on nodes = success. Red = error — click the node to see the error message.

Use Output nodes to send results to Slack, Discord, email, or webhooks automatically.
