Run Your First Agent System

This is the fastest way to see CrewForm work end-to-end. You will set up one provider key, activate the prebuilt Research Brief Pipeline, run a real team workflow, and inspect the output.
The demo uses the normal CrewForm execution path. It creates real agents, a real pipeline team, and a real team run that is picked up by the task runner.

​
What You Will Run

The golden-path demo creates a 3-step pipeline: Default prompt:

​
1. Start CrewForm

Use the hosted app:
Or run locally:
The task runner must also be running for real execution:

​
2. Add One Provider Key

Open Settings → LLM Setup and add an active OpenAI key. The demo agents use gpt-4o-mini by default so the run is fast and low-cost. You can change the models later from the agent configuration pages.

​
3. Activate the Demo Workspace

Return to Dashboard and choose Activate Demo Workspace. CrewForm will create:
  • 5 demo agents
  • 1 Research Brief Pipeline team
  • Team membership and pipeline step wiring
The demo data is removable from the dashboard banner at any time.

​
4. Run the Demo

After the demo is active, choose Run Demo from the dashboard banner. CrewForm will create a real team_run and open the run detail page. You should see:
  • Current pipeline step
  • Agent handoffs
  • Running/completed status
  • Final markdown output
  • Token and cost totals when the run completes

​
5. Inspect the Result

When the run finishes, review:
  • The final executive brief
  • Step-by-step messages
  • Token usage and estimated cost
  • Any error or retry details if a step failed
From there, open the team page to customize the prompt, agents, model, tools, or pipeline steps.
