Learn ByteChef by doing
Build your first ByteChef automation: fetch a random quote and log it, with one click.
New to ByteChef? This simple workflow is the perfect way to get started. In just a few minutes, you'll build your first automation: it fetches a random quote from the internet and logs it. It uses a manual trigger, so after importing it you click Run and see the result immediately. Swap in a Schedule trigger when you want it to run on its own.
- Manual trigger: runs the moment you click Run, no waiting and no credentials
- HTTP GET request to a public API with JSON response parsing
- Data reference between tasks using ByteChef expression syntax
- Logger step for inspecting output without extra integrations
- A running ByteChef instance
- Internet access to reach the public quotes API
Anyone new to ByteChef who wants a zero-configuration first workflow that demonstrates HTTP calls and task chaining, and runs immediately.
- Trigger: the workflow starts when you click Run in the workflow editor.
- Get a random quote: HTTP GET request to dummyjson.com/quotes/random returns a JSON object.
- Log the quote: the Logger step prints the quote field from the HTTP response to the execution log.

Build your first agent
Your first AI agent in ByteChef. The agent uses an OpenAI model and one tool, the HTTP Client, to fetch a random quote from a public API, then explains the quote in one sentence and logs the answer. It runs on a manual trigger, so after importing it you connect your OpenAI API key, click Run and watch the tool call in the execution log.
