How to hand off a code fix and get a pull request back with Useagent

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

Credentials. Pasting a ChatGPT connection or model API key gives the hosted service access to your provider account, so use a key you are willing to connect.

Who it is forA developer or tech lead with a backlog item in one of their GitHub repositories and no time to do the change themselves.

The problemSmall fixes and well-defined changes wait in the queue while the team is busy with other work.

The outcomeAn agent works in its own cloud workspace on the repository, and you review a pull request and the files it produced.

What you need first

  • 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)
  • Optional: a ChatGPT account to run Codex on your own plan

Steps

  1. Sign up at app.useagent.org with your email.
  2. 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.
  3. Start a thread from the home page and describe the change, naming the repository.
  4. Pick a model from the Free list in the model menu, or a model you connected.
  5. Follow the run live in the agent's browser and terminal, answer any question it asks, then review the pull request it opens.

Prompt for your agent

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>.

Caveat. The README says the models, login methods and tools you get depend on the engine and your configuration, and that the product is alpha software whose APIs can change.
