AI Agent

Tell the agent a task in your own words. It plans the work, does it for you with web search and file tools, and hands you the finished results - ready to share, publish, or re-run.

What It Does

The AI Agent is a standalone assistant that gets a task done end to end. You describe the goal in plain language; it makes a plan, works through it on its own, and hands back finished deliverables. It is the place to go when you want an outcome - a summary, a comparison, a draft, a cleaned-up spreadsheet - rather than to build an app step by step.

  • Describe a task in your own words - no setup, no prompt engineering.
  • The agent plans the steps, then runs them for you automatically.
  • It searches the web, reads files you give it, and produces real deliverables.
  • Steer it, pause it, or stop it at any time without losing work.
  • Share the results, publish them as an app, or schedule the task to re-run.

Free to start

Run tasks on the free plan using your daily credits. Pro adds higher effort presets for harder work, sub-daily schedules, and custom domains for anything you publish.

Start a Task

Go to the AI Agent page and type what you want done. The clearer the goal, the better the result - but you can always add detail later by messaging the agent while it works.

1

Describe the task

Open the AI Agent page and write your task, for example “Research the best project management tools and compare them in a table” or “Pull the key points out of this PDF.”
2

Pick an effort level

Choose Quick for most tasks, or step up to Standard or Deep for harder work that needs more steps.
3

Let it run

The agent plans the work and starts executing. Watch its progress live, or come back later - the task keeps running.
Not sure where to start? The entry screen offers example tasks like “Draft a polished email from a few rough notes” or “Turn messy data into a clean spreadsheet” - pick one and tweak it.

How Much Effort

Effort sets how many steps the agent is allowed to take. More steps means it can dig deeper, but most tasks finish quickly on Quick.

Quick

Fast and good for most tasks. Available on every plan, including free.

Standard

More steps for deeper work. Pro.

Deep

Maximum effort for hard, multi-part tasks. Pro.

Each task spends credits as it works. Free plans get a set number of runs per day; if you run out, you are prompted to upgrade and your typed task is kept.

What It Can Do

The agent has a small set of real tools it uses on its own to get your task done. You do not configure these - it decides what each step needs.

  • Search and read the web to gather up-to-date information.
  • Read files and documents you provide, including PDFs.
  • Write and organize files - notes, tables, spreadsheets, documents.
  • Run code when a task needs calculation or data processing.
  • Assemble the output into clean deliverables you can use right away.

Steer It As It Works

You stay in control the whole time. The agent shows its plan and each step as it goes, and you can change course whenever you like.

  • Message the agent mid-task to add detail or point it in a new direction.
  • Pause and resume the task when you need to.
  • Stop it at any time - whatever it produced so far is kept.
  • When a task is done, run it again with a tweaked goal as a follow-up.

Your Deliverables

Every task ends with a set of deliverables - the actual results, not just a chat transcript. You can preview each one and open it to see the full output.

  • A summary, report, or document the agent wrote for you.
  • A table or spreadsheet built from your data or its research.
  • A draft, such as an email or a piece of copy, ready to use.
  • A small web page or app the agent assembled.

Publish and Share

A deliverable does not have to stay inside the task. Turn it into something you can send to someone or build on.

Share a link

Make a deliverable public to get a shareable link anyone can open.

Publish as app

Turn a deliverable into a full GenMB app you can open in the editor and keep refining.

Custom domain

Connect your own domain to a published deliverable on Pro.

Publishing a deliverable as an app gives you everything the editor offers - chat refinement, the visual editor, version history, and one-click deploy.

Schedule It to Re-Run

For tasks you want to keep current - a daily news roundup, a weekly competitor scan - schedule the whole task to run again on a regular cadence so the deliverables refresh on their own.

  • Attach a schedule to any task to have it re-run automatically.
  • Daily and slower cadences are available on every plan.
  • Sub-daily schedules (more than once a day) are on Pro.
  • Remove the schedule any time to stop the re-runs.

Describe the outcome you want and let the agent do the work - then share it, publish it, or keep it fresh on a schedule.

FAQs

How is this different from Agent Mode?
Agent Mode (in the editor) autonomously builds and fixes the code of one app. The AI Agent is a standalone assistant for getting a task done: research, comparisons, pulling facts out of a document, drafting, cleaning up data. It hands you finished results, and you can turn those results into an app if you want to.
Do I need a paid plan?
No. You can run tasks on the free plan using your daily credits, with the Quick effort preset. Pro unlocks the Standard and Deep presets (more steps for harder work), sub-daily schedules, and custom domains for anything you publish.
What kinds of tasks work well?
Anything with a clear goal and a deliverable: research a topic and write a summary, compare options in a table, pull key points out of a long article or PDF, draft a polished email from rough notes, or turn messy data into a clean spreadsheet.
Can I change direction once it has started?
Yes. Send the agent a message mid-task to add detail or steer it, pause and resume it, or stop it entirely. Whatever it has produced so far is kept, so you never lose work by stopping.
What happens to the results?
Each task produces deliverables you can preview and open. You can share a deliverable with a public link, publish it as a full GenMB app, or schedule the whole task to re-run on a cron so the results stay fresh.
