Quick Start — 5 Minutes

In this guide you'll build a weekly competitor content summariser: every Monday morning, an AI agent reads competitor blog posts, summarises each one into 3 bullet points, and saves the results as a downloadable artifact.

No LLM API key? You can use a local agent (Claude Code or Codex) at zero cost — FleetQ auto-detects them. See Agents for setup.
1

Create an Agent

Go to /agents/create. Fill in:
  • Name: Competitor Monitor
  • Role: Research Analyst
  • Goal: Summarise competitor blog posts into concise bullet points
  • Backstory: You are an expert technology journalist with 10 years of experience distilling complex content.
  • Provider: Leave as Default (inherits team setting)
Click Create Agent.
2

Create a Skill

Go to /skills/create.
  • Name: Content Summariser
  • Type: LLM
  • Prompt: Summarise the following article into exactly 3 bullet points. Be concise and focus on the key takeaway:\n\n{{ content }}
Click Save Skill. A version 1.0 is created automatically.
3

Assign the Skill to the Agent

Open the agent detail page (/agents → Competitor Monitor). Under the Skills tab, click Add Skill and select Content Summariser. Save. The agent now uses this skill when executing LLM calls.
4

Create a Project

Go to /projects/create.
  • Name: Weekly Competitor Digest
  • Type: Continuous
  • Agent: Competitor Monitor
  • Goal: Summarise the top 5 competitor blog posts published this week
  • Schedule: Weekly — Monday at 08:00
Click Activate Project. FleetQ will run the agent every Monday at 08:00.
5

Watch it run

On the project detail page, click Trigger Run to test immediately. FleetQ creates an Experiment, runs it through the pipeline, and saves the output as an Artifact. You can preview, download, or set up an outbound connector to deliver results via email or Slack.

Or use the API

All UI actions have API equivalents. Create your API token in Team Settings → API Tokens, then:

bash 
curl -X POST https://fleetq.169.58.89.204.sslip.io/api/v1/experiments \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Weekly Competitor Digest",
    "agent_id": "YOUR_AGENT_ID",
    "goal": "Summarise the top 5 competitor blog posts published this week"
  }'
