AI orchestration tutorial
Set up a team of AI agents. Keep people in charge of the decisions.
This walkthrough takes you from the default workflow to a first task run, including the controls that protect credentials, branches and approvals.
A first workflow
Eight steps from defaults to evidence.
Built-in roles need little configuration. Confirm a usable model and credential path before the first run; add only the roles and approval gates that improve your team's work.
- 01
Settings → Compute → AI orchestration
Start with the default workflow
New organizations start with Design, Risk Assessment, Impact Analysis, Code Generation, Test Generation, Code Review and AI Test & Iteration. Keep these defaults for a first run, or open a role to add instructions and make the workflow match your team.
- 02
Settings → Compute → AI orchestration · Project settings → AI providers
Confirm a model and credential path
Before starting, confirm the default model has a usable organization or project provider key, or assign a named credential profile to a role. ReasonOS stores a named key sealed in the control plane; its raw value is never shown again or passed to a branch server or agent prompt. Missing credentials prevent a start; provider quota failures are reported during execution.
- 03
Customize a role
Give each role the right team and authority
Choose a primary agent, add independent reviewers when a second point of view helps, and set each agent’s engine, model and credential policy. Set a named person or a role manager as final authority, or let AI carry its recommendation forward. Role authority never approves or merges code.
- 04
Project settings → AI orchestration
Tailor a project without changing every project
A project inherits the organization workflow until you override a standard role or add a project-specific one—for example, a security architecture review. The project page makes the inherited policy, enabled agents and human decision gates visible before a run starts.
- 05
Task detail → Run AI workflow
Run the workflow from an active task
Open a task in a running branch and start the configured workflow. ReasonOS snapshots the effective roles and agent assignments for that run. Independent, read-only work can run in parallel; code, test-generation and AI-test work are serialized so two writers do not race in the same branch.
- 06
Task detail → Workflow evidence
Review the evidence and make human decisions
The task records agent responses, verdicts, policy transitions and any recorded default-credential fallback. When a human-authority role is ready—or the system needs help—you review that evidence, then choose Approve and continue or Stop workflow.
- 07
Customize AI Test & Iteration
Use AI Test & Iteration to repair bounded failures
Set zero to turn automatic repair off, or choose a limit from one to ten repairs. An actionable failure can enter a Design → Code → AI Test loop. A passing test completes the run; a flaky, nonconvergent or exhausted run stops with its evidence for a human decision.
- 08
Task detail → Rate agent · Project settings → Activity and evaluation
Learn from observed outcomes
Score a completed attempt from 0 to 100 based on the actual task result. The project report shows active, completed and failed attempts and each configured agent’s average score, so comparisons are grounded in your work instead of a generic benchmark.
Start conservatively: leave final authority with a person, use a verified default model path for an initial run, and add independent reviewers where a second opinion has real value. Your existing branch, review and merge rules remain in force throughout.
Ready to try it
Put the first workflow on a real task.
The task keeps the agents’ work, test outcomes and decisions together, so your team can see what happened and improve the next run.
