Eigent: Eight jobs to try

This page gives you eight longer jobs that suit what Eigent's docs say it does well. That means reading a folder, making documents, spreadsheets, and slides, researching public pages, and splitting a job across a Workforce. It is the fifth of eight pages, and the jobs run from easy to ambitious, so do them in order.

The jobs match version 1.0.7 and the docs as checked on 14 November 2026. You paste the same words on Windows and on a Mac. If a job stalls or does something you did not expect, use Eigent: Fixes.

When you are ready to write requests of your own, Prompting strong and weak models shows how to word them for the model you use.

How to ask

A good request says three things, and every job below already does all three.

  1. The finished thing. Name the file and say what goes in it, such as a spreadsheet with a total or a one-page document.
  2. Where to save it. Say "in this Space's folder," so the file lands in your tryout folder, the same place as on page 3.
  3. What not to touch. These are the safety rules for every job:
    • Stay in this Space's folder.
    • Keep Ask me first on, and click Approve once only for writing the file the job names.
    • Do not sign in, send email, or buy anything.
    • Stay logged out of email, the bank, and stores, and do not import browser cookies.

The rules are in every prompt because of prompt injection. Opening a web page does not ask you first in Eigent. So the words you type, and the approvals you click, are what keep the job on track.

Work in a copy, never in originals. Eigent's approvals are not a sandbox, so a command you approve can reach any file your account can reach.

1. Get a tour of a folder

Copy three or four harmless files into your tryout folder, such as a recipe, a short letter, and a to-do list. Eigent's quick-start page suggests this kind of first request, and the answer comes back in the chat. Because the job only reads, switch the Space to Read only before you send it. Switch back to Ask me first afterward, since a mode change applies to new jobs.

Explore this folder and tell me what this project is about. Then list each file with one sentence on what it holds, and suggest three things I could do with them. Only read. Do not change, move, or delete any file. Do not use the web.

Safety note: Read only is the safest mode Eigent has, but the agent still reads every file the job opens, so keep private files out of the folder.

2. Turn rough notes into a tidy document

Paste notes from a meeting, a phone call, or a class, and let Eigent turn them into a clean one-page document in your folder. The Workforce page lists tools that write DOCX, PDF, and Markdown files. The result is a document you can open in Word or a PDF reader.

Turn the notes below into a one-page document named tidy-notes.docx in this Space's folder. Start with a two-sentence summary, then the decisions, then a list of who does what next. If you cannot make a .docx file, make tidy-notes.md instead. Do not use the web. Do not change or delete any other file.

[paste your notes here]

Safety note: click Approve once for writing tidy-notes.docx, and Reject anything that would overwrite or delete a file that was already there.

3. Make a short slide deck

Eigent's Workforce page lists a PowerPoint tool that adds title slides, lists, tables, and images, so a short deck is a good fit. Use the note from job 2 or any short text file in the folder. If Single Agent says it cannot make slides, try the same words in a Workforce session. The docs list a document agent with that tool there.

Read tidy-notes.docx in this Space's folder and make a five-slide presentation named tidy-notes.pptx in the same folder. Use one title slide, then one slide each for the summary, the decisions, the next steps, and the open questions. Keep each slide to four short lines. Do not use the web. Do not change or delete any other file.

Safety note: a deck is a new file, so the only approval you should need is for writing tidy-notes.pptx.

4. Compare three products from public pages

This job uses the built-in browser, so keep the browser panel open and watch it work. The result is a spreadsheet with a row for each product. Each fact comes with the page address it came from, so you can check every number yourself.

Compare [first product], [second product], and [third product] using public web pages. Make a spreadsheet named compare.xlsx in this Space's folder, with one row per product. Give it columns for the price, one strength, one drawback, and the page address each fact came from. If you cannot make an .xlsx file, make compare.csv. Do not sign in anywhere, do not add anything to a cart, and do not buy anything. Do not change any other file.

Safety note: page visits do not ask for approval, so stop the task right away if the browser panel shows a sign-in page, a cart, or a site you did not expect.

5. Split a research job with a Workforce

A Workforce plans the job, splits it into parts, and gives each part to an agent with the right tools. That suits a job with both a written brief and a table. Choose Workforce when you start the New session. By default, the docs say, a Workforce halts the work when a task has failed or been split more than 3 times, which keeps it from looping forever.

Research [a topic, such as "how to start composting at home"] using public web pages. Make two files in this Space's folder. The first is a one-page brief named compost-brief.docx with the main steps and the page addresses you used. The second is a spreadsheet named compost-costs.xlsx listing the supplies, with a rough price and a page address for each. Do not sign in anywhere, do not buy anything, and do not change any other file.

Safety note: several agents may ask for approvals close together, so read each request, and use Approve once only for the two files the job names.

6. Build a one-page website you can preview

"Help me turn this project into a clear product landing page" is one of the example goals on Eigent's quick-start page. The version 1.0.3 release notes also say a Session can preview local HTML files. A single page for a club, a yard sale, or a small hobby is a good first try, and it needs no software installed.

Write a single web page named index.html in this Space's folder for [your event or hobby]. Give it a title, three short sections, and a simple color scheme, with all styles inside that one file. Do not install anything, do not run any commands, do not publish anything online, and do not change any other file. When it is done, show me a preview of index.html.

Safety note: this job should need no commands at all, so click Reject if Eigent asks to install a package or run a command.

7. Turn a job that worked into a weekly Automation

The riskiest job is one that runs by itself. In version 1.0.7 you can click the Session title and turn the Session into an Automation. You can also create one from Automations in the sidebar, using the steps on page 4. Pick a job that only reads one public page and writes a dated note, and run it by hand once before you schedule it.

Open [a public page address, such as a library's events page] and no other site. Add a short dated note to a file named weekly-events.txt in this Space's folder, with the three most useful items and the page address. Do not sign in anywhere, do not buy or book anything, do not send any message, and do not change any other file.

Before you save, set a maximum failure count, a daily run limit, and an end date a few weeks away. Leave Ask me first on.

Safety note: scheduled runs need Eigent open on this computer, and this guide could not confirm what happens when a run stops for an approval while you are away. So check the note and the run history after each of the first few runs.

8. Write a deep-research report with a source for every claim

A deep-research job reads many pages, puts a source beside each claim, and points out where the sources disagree. The Workforce page lists a Browser agent that can "search the web, extract webpage content," and it calls the search tool "the primary tool for web research." Choose Workforce when you start the New session, as in job 5. Eigent's README says its agents "collaborate in parallel," so separate parts of the job can run at the same time. But the Workforce page also says results become "dependencies for the next steps," so a part that needs another part's findings waits for them.

In the version 1.0.7 code, the search tool appears only when Querit search is turned on, a Google search key is set up, or Eigent's own cloud key is in use. This guide could not confirm how well the agents find pages without it, so name a few trusted starting sites in the prompt if you know some.

Research this question using public web pages: [your question, such as "is a heat pump worth it in a cold climate"]. Use at least eight different sources, and split the reading across agents if that helps. Write a report named research-report.docx in this Space's folder, with the page address after every claim. Add a section named "Where sources disagree" that lists each disagreement and which sources take each side. End with a list of every source you used. If you cannot make a .docx file, make research-report.md instead. Do not sign in anywhere, do not fill in any form, do not buy anything, and do not change any other file.

Cost note: set a spend limit at your provider before you send this, because several agents reading many pages can use many times the tokens of a normal job.

Safety note: page visits do not ask for approval, so stop the task if the browser panel shows a sign-in page or a cart. Use Approve once only for writing the report, then open three of its page addresses yourself to check that each claim matches its source.
