How to Upgrade Your API Integration with Eigent
Upgrade your app to the latest API models and features while checking for regressions before you ship.
What you need
- Eigent desktop app
- Codebase access (local or connected repo)
- API docs reference
Best for
- Teams upgrading from older models or deprecated API surfaces
- Repos that need behavior-preserving migrations with explicit validation
- Engineers who want a change inventory before touching integration code
Starter Prompt
Upgrade this API integration to the latest recommended models and features. Requirements: - Start by inventorying the current models, endpoints, and tool assumptions in the repo. - Identify the smallest migration plan that gets us onto the latest supported path. - Preserve behavior unless a change is required by the new API or model. - Update prompts using the latest model guidance. - Call out any prompt, tool, or response-shape changes we need to review manually.
How it works
- Inventory the current models, endpoints, and tool assumptions in the repo.
- Identify the smallest migration plan that gets onto the latest supported API path.
- Preserve existing behavior unless a change is required by the new API or model.
- Update prompts and parameters using the latest model guidance.
- Call out any prompt, tool, or response-shape changes that need manual review before shipping.
More prompts to try
- Which endpoints or model names in this codebase are deprecated or no longer recommended?
- What is the minimum set of changes needed to move to the latest API version?
- Are there any behavioral differences in the new model we should evaluate before shipping?
- Generate a checklist of manual validation steps for this migration.
How to use
Open Eigent with your codebase connected. Run the starter prompt to get an inventory of what currently exists and a proposed migration plan. Review the plan, then ask Eigent to implement each step. Build an evaluation pipeline to confirm behavior is preserved after changes — automated evals catch regressions that code review alone will miss.
Expected output
An inventory of current models and endpoints, a step-by-step migration plan, updated code with the new API integration, and a list of changes that require manual behavioral validation before shipping.
Limitations
- Model behavior changes require manual evaluation — automated code changes alone do not prove parity.
- Eigent can update code but cannot run your evaluation suite; you must validate outputs separately.
- Prompt changes in particular need human review since small wording differences can shift model behavior.
