Overview

Eigent is an Electron and React desktop app with a FastAPI backend that runs AI agents on your computer, either as one agent or as a CAMEL-based workforce of specialized agents working in parallel. Agents get built-in browser, terminal and document toolkits, plus MCP and skill integration, and workflows can be scheduled. It works with cloud APIs, gateways or local inference such as vLLM, Ollama and LM Studio.

Who it is for: Users wanting a local desktop agent workspace with multi-agent task execution

Strengths

Single-agent mode and multi-agent workforce mode in one desktop workspace
Built-in browser, terminal and document toolkits, with MCP and skill integration
Local backend supports vLLM, Ollama and LM Studio, with no cloud account required
Recurring workflows can be scheduled to run while you are away

Weaknesses

Quick start connects to Eigent cloud services and requires account registration
Local deployment is a separate server setup documented in another README
SSO and access control are enterprise-only features, via sales contact
No Docker or compose files detected; running from source needs Node 18-22 and uv

What it needs

GPU optional
Needs Node.js 18-22, npm, uv
Models: vLLM, Ollama, LM Studio, cloud APIs, enterprise gateways
