5 use cases

  • Hand off a code fix and get a pull request back

    Send a bug or feature request from the web app and receive a pull request from an isolated agent workspace.

    View prompt
    Using the UseAgent hosted app, start a thread that asks the agent to fix <bug description> in the GitHub repository <owner/repo>, then open the pull request it creates. Expected output: a pull request URL for the change. Verify that the pull request diff touches only the files related to <bug description>.

  • Self-host the agent workspace on your own Linux server

    Run UseAgent on your own Linux host so code, prompts and files stay where you put them.

    View prompt
    In the useagent repository, read infra/self-host/README.md, then deploy UseAgent to the server at <server-ip> using infra/self-host/deploy-app.sh. Expected output: a running UseAgent app on that server plus a short note of the sandbox plugin chosen. Verify that a test thread completes and its steps are stored in Postgres.

  • Run a research report or spreadsheet with a free model

    Ask an agent for research, a website or a spreadsheet from the web app and keep the files it makes.

    View prompt
    Using the UseAgent hosted app with a free model, start a thread that asks the agent to research <topic> and produce a spreadsheet of <number> sources. Expected output: a spreadsheet file attached to the thread. Verify that every row in the spreadsheet includes a source link.

  • Schedule a recurring agent task and review its history

    Set up a task that runs on a schedule and check each run's history without starting it by hand.

    View prompt
    Using the UseAgent hosted app, create a recurring automation that asks the agent to <task description> on a weekly schedule. Expected output: a stored run history entry for each scheduled run with its output files. Verify that a manual run and the first scheduled run both produce the same kind of output.

  • Run UseAgent from source to contribute a fix

    Set up the full stack locally, run the backend and frontend, and open a pull request for a Hacktoberfest issue.

    View prompt
    Clone https://github.com/useagenthq/useagent, start Postgres with pgvector, install dependencies in every workspace listed in the README, and run bun run typecheck. Expected output: a passing typecheck and a note on which hacktoberfest issue you would pick. Verify that bun run dev:backend starts the API on port 3201 and bun run dev:frontend serves the UI on port 3400.

How to use Useagent

  1. Check you have what it needs: A hosted UseAgent account, or a Linux host or laptop for self-hosting or running from source; bun and Postgres 16+ with pgvector (for running from source); A sandbox provider key and a model key (the README says a real agent task needs both).
  2. Open useagenthq/useagent on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Sign up at app.useagent.org with your email.
  4. Open Settings and then Provider connections, and connect your ChatGPT account to run Codex on your own plan, or paste an API key for another model.
  5. Start a thread from the home page and describe the change, naming the repository.
  6. Pick a model from the Free list in the model menu, or a model you connected.

These steps come from our top use case, Hand off a code fix and get a pull request back, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
