Creating Apps

An app is a container that groups related agents, squads, and tools together. Apps help you organize your automations by purpose. For example, you might have one app for handling customer inquiries and another for automating code reviews.

When you create a new workspace, Obi automatically creates a default app inside it to help you get started. You can rename this app or create additional apps as needed.

Creating a New App​

  1. In the sidebar, find the Studio section.
  2. Click Create App.
  3. Enter a name for the app.
  4. The app appears in the sidebar and you are taken to its dashboard.

The App Dashboard​

Each app has its own dashboard that shows a summary of what it contains and how it is performing.

The dashboard displays:

  • Agent count shows how many agents belong to this app.
  • Squad count shows how many workflows you have built.
  • Executions (last 7 days) shows how many times your squads have run recently.
  • Success rate (last 7 days) shows the percentage of executions that completed without errors.
  • Average runtime shows how long completed executions typically take.

Below the summary, you can see cards for currently running executions, executions that need your input, and the most recent successes and failures.

When you expand an app in the sidebar, you see four sections:

  • Agents is where you create and manage the individual AI workers.
  • Squads is where you build multi-agent workflows.
  • Tools is where you install and manage external tools for your agents.
  • Versions is where you can manage different versions of your app.

Archiving an App​

If you no longer need an app but want to keep its history, you can archive it instead of deleting it. Archived apps are hidden from the sidebar by default but can be restored later.

  1. Open the app you want to archive.
  2. Use the archive option in the app settings.

To view archived apps, enable the "Include archived" filter when listing apps.
