# Eigent

> Open-source desktop app for working alongside AI agents

Eigent is an open-source desktop app in which a single agent or a multi-agent Workforce carries out tasks on your computer using a browser, a terminal and your files. Work is organized into Spaces, Sessions and Tasks, with memory, approvals, automations that run on a schedule or an event, and connectors built on the Model Context Protocol. It runs on Eigent Cloud credits, your own provider API keys or local models, and the Apache-2.0 code can be self-hosted.

## Ways to pay less

- **Two months free with yearly billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page labels yearly billing as 2 months free: Plus is $199.90 a year instead of $19.99 a month, and Pro is $999.90 a year instead of $99.99 a month. Source: https://www.eigent.ai/pricing

## Key features

- **Single Agent and Workforce modes:** Give a task to one agent, or to a Workforce that splits it among specialized workers running in parallel. You can define your own workers and choose the tools each one gets.
- **Spaces, Sessions and Tasks:** A Space holds related Sessions and working files and can be tied to a local folder. Space profiles package agents, skills and connectors so the same setup is reused.
- **Browser agents:** Agents navigate pages, click, type and capture screenshots in a managed or connected Chrome DevTools Protocol browser, and can use imported cookies for signed-in sessions.
- **Automations:** Scheduled automations run recurring work, Event automations respond to webhooks and external events, and App automations react to events in connected applications.
- **Connectors and MCP:** Guided connectors cover Notion, Slack, Google Calendar, Gmail, LinkedIn and Lark, and you can add a local or remote MCP server for a service that is not in the catalog.
- **Cloud, own-key or local models:** Use managed Eigent Cloud models billed in credits, your own provider API keys, or local models served by Ollama, vLLM, SGLang, LM Studio or LLaMA.cpp.

## Good for

- People who want a desktop agent that runs on their own API keys or local models
- Long tasks that can be split among several agents working in parallel
- Teams that want to self-host and inspect the code they run

## Worth knowing

- Desktop only: the download page says Eigent is not supported on mobile or tablet.
- The Free plan's credits are a one-time 1,000 registration bonus plus invite bonuses; it has no monthly credit allowance.
- The Teams plan, with a shared library and centralized billing, is listed as Coming Soon.
- The docs mark the Telegram, Lark and WhatsApp channels and the X, WhatsApp, Reddit and GitHub connectors as Coming soon.
