Navigate Any Codebase Instantly
Eigent reads your entire repository and answers questions about structure, dependencies, and behavior — so new engineers onboard in hours, not weeks.
Automate Repetitive Engineering Tasks
From API upgrades to dependency migrations, Eigent handles the mechanical work so your team can focus on architecture and product.
Keep Documentation Always Current
Eigent monitors code changes and automatically updates READMEs, API docs, and internal wikis — no more stale documentation.
Catch Bugs Before They Reach Production
Automated bug triage, PR review, and QA workflows surface issues early, reducing the cost of defects and improving release confidence.
Built for Real Engineering Workflows
From onboarding to production, Eigent fits into how backend engineering teams already work.
Understand Large Codebases
Trace request flows, map unfamiliar modules, and find the right files fast — before you make your first edit.
Upgrade Your API Integration
Upgrade your app to the latest API models and features while checking for regressions before you ship.
Refactor Your Codebase
Remove dead code and modernize legacy patterns without changing behavior — in small, reviewable passes.
Run Code Migrations
Migrate legacy stacks in controlled checkpoints — map the old system to the new one, land the move in milestones, and validate parity before each transition.
Save Workflows as Skills
Turn a working Eigent thread, review rules, test commands, or release checklists into a reusable skill any teammate can invoke in future sessions.
Keep Documentation Up-to-Date
Use code changes and PR context to draft focused documentation updates — without broad rewrites or stale references.
Kick Off Coding Tasks from Slack
Mention Eigent in a Slack thread to start a coding task tied to the right repo — then review the result back in Slack or in Eigent.
Automate Bug Triage
Turn daily bug reports into a prioritized list — check alerts, issues, failed checks, and chat reports, then run the sweep on a schedule.
Review GitHub Pull Requests
Catch regressions, missing tests, and risky behavior changes before human review — automatically on every pull request.
QA Your App with Computer Use
Click through real product flows, catch issues, and finish with a structured bug report — before every release.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Eigent and how does it help backend engineers?
Eigent is an open-source agentic cowork platform that lets AI agents operate your development tools — terminals, browsers, IDEs, and internal systems — just like a human engineer. For backend teams, this means automating repetitive tasks like codebase navigation, refactoring, documentation, and bug triage while keeping engineers focused on high-value architectural work.
Does Eigent work with my existing tools and codebase?
Yes. Eigent integrates with GitHub, Slack, Jira, and most development tools your team already uses. It reads and operates within your existing repositories without requiring you to migrate or restructure your codebase. Eigent works with any language or framework.
Is my source code safe with Eigent?
Eigent offers a local-first deployment model where your code never leaves your infrastructure. For enterprise customers, Eigent can be deployed fully on-premises with no data sent to external servers. We also offer SOC 2 Type II certified cloud options with end-to-end encryption.
How long does it take to onboard a team to Eigent?
Individual engineers can be productive with Eigent within a day. Team-wide onboarding — including integrating with your existing CI/CD pipeline, connecting Slack, and setting up custom skills — typically takes one to two weeks with support from our team.
What is the difference between Eigent and a traditional AI coding assistant?
Traditional AI coding assistants (like Copilot) suggest code while you write. Eigent is an agentic platform — it autonomously executes multi-step workflows across your tools. Instead of suggesting a refactor, Eigent performs the refactor, runs the tests, and opens the PR. This is the difference between a suggestion and a completed task.
Can I build custom workflows for my team's specific processes?
Yes. The 'Save Workflows as Skills' feature lets you capture any Eigent workflow — no matter how specialized — as a reusable skill that any team member can trigger. You can also build skills from scratch using Eigent's open plugin system and share them across your organization.
