Understand the tools, the hosting environment, and how they fit your business. Which tools can I use today?+ FuseBase Work, powered by Paperclip, n8n, and Firecrawl are available in the hosted environment. They cover AI coworkers, workflow automation, and web research. More hosted tools are coming. What is the hosting environment?+ FuseBase sets up separate tool instances for your account and connects them to your FuseBase environment. The underlying hosting can use private or shared virtual servers. Your setup defines the resources and access; a separate instance does not necessarily mean a dedicated server. Do I need technical experience?+ Implementation help is available. Start with the process you want to improve, and we can scope the tools, connections, and setup with you. Teams with technical experience can configure supported solutions themselves. Do I have to use all three tools?+ No. Start with the capabilities your work needs. For example, use FuseBase Work for AI coworkers, then connect n8n or Firecrawl when a workflow needs automation or web information. Can I keep my existing business software?+ Yes. The tools can connect to supported external systems while your team keeps working in them. We agree the information to share and the actions to allow as part of the setup. Can I control what the AI coworkers do?+ Yes. Their access and responsibilities are configured around your process. You can include approval steps or allow agreed tasks to run automatically. Who handles updates and support?+ Your setup specifies the hosting resources and who handles updates, backups, and support. Implementation and ongoing workflow help can be scoped around what your team needs. ## See what these tools can do with your business context.
