Set up a runnable demo
Choose one of the three packaged demos (daily-briefing, openwebui, or team-telegram) and copy its .env.example to .env, filling in your service credentials before launching.
cd demos/daily-briefing
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your API keys and messaging tokensLaunch the chosen workflow
Start the demo to confirm end-to-end operation. For the daily-briefing demo this runs a cron-triggered agent that searches the web and posts a digest to your configured messaging channel.
