# Introduction

> Build AI-powered workflows that actually work together

## What is Splox?

Splox is a **multi-agent workflow builder** where you create AI systems by connecting agents, tools, and logic visually. Chat with your agents or trigger them programmatically — combine 10,000+ tools and skills to build domain-specific AI agents.

## Two Ways to Use Splox

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Chat with Agents">
    **For everyone — no building required**

    Go to [chat.splox.io](https://chat.splox.io) or download the [desktop app](https://splox.io/download) to browse the agent marketplace and start chatting with pre-built agents via text or voice.

    * Browse published agents in the marketplace
    * Chat via text or voice
    * No configuration needed
    * Available on web, Windows, macOS, and Linux
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Build Workflows">
    **For builders — create custom agents**

    Go to [app.splox.io](https://app.splox.io) to build multi-agent workflows visually. Connect agents, tools, and logic nodes, then publish them for anyone to use.

    * Visual drag-and-drop workflow builder
    * 10,000+ MCP tools and skills
    * Multi-agent orchestration
    * API access for programmatic triggers
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## How it Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Build Your Workflow">
    On [app.splox.io](https://app.splox.io), connect agents, tools, and logic nodes visually. Each workflow is a multi-agent system.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Tools & Skills">
    Choose from 10,000+ MCP tools and procedural skills to make your agents domain-specific.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Chat or Trigger">
    Chat with your agent on [chat.splox.io](https://chat.splox.io) or the desktop app, or trigger programmatically via the API.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Example: Agent with Tools

<iframe src="https://app.splox.io/workflow/NUri7n58DjIRxG86sbBFwCoabOxSHUVUbYzwDo59IMM" width="100%" height="500px" style={{borderRadius: "8px"}} title="Agent with Tools Workflow" />

**How it works:**

1. **Entry node** initiates the workflow
2. **Agent** processes your request and can call any connected tools
3. **Tool router** dynamically selects the right tool based on the agent's needs
4. **Chat interface** lets you interact with the agent in real-time

For multi-agent workflows, connect multiple agents where each agent handles a specialized task - one agent can call another agent as part of the workflow.

## Why Choose Splox?

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Multi-Agent Workflows" icon="brain">
    Build systems where agents collaborate. One agent analyzes, another executes, a third validates - all connected visually.

    **Example:** Research agent → Writing agent → Editing agent pipeline.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="10,000+ Tools & Skills" icon="wrench">
    Access MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools and procedural skills. Combine them to create highly specialized, domain-specific agents.

    **Example:** Financial analysis agent with market data tools + calculation skills.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Chat Interface Built-In" icon="messages">
    Interact with workflows through a full chat interface. Side panel or full view - test and use your agents conversationally.

    **Example:** Chat with your research agent, ask follow-ups, iterate on results.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Visual + Code" icon="code">
    Build workflows visually, add custom logic when needed. No infrastructure to manage.

    **Example:** Connect nodes visually, write Python for complex transformations.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Node Types

Build workflows with these building blocks:

* **Entry Node** - Define workflow entry points and triggers
* **Agent Node** - Autonomous AI agents with LLM + Tools loops
* **Tool Node** - Execute custom functions or MCP tools
* **Switch Node** - Conditional branching based on data or AI decisions
* **Merge Node** - Combine data from multiple sources
