Single Agent mode
Run a task with one CAMEL agent and monitor its progress, context, and outputs.
Single Agent mode assigns a task to one CAMEL-based agent instead of creating a coordinated multi-agent Workforce. The agent can still use models, tools, Skills, files, browser sessions, and terminal access.
Choose Single Agent mode
Use Single Agent mode for:
- Focused tasks with one clear goal
- Work that benefits from a continuous context
- Short tool-driven workflows
- Tasks where coordination overhead would add little value
- Iterative follow-ups handled by the same execution pattern
Use Workforce for broad tasks that benefit from specialized roles or parallel subtasks.
Start a Single Agent project
- Open the Workspace or select New.
- Select Single Agent.
- Enter the task.
- Attach required files.
- Send the request.
Eigent opens a Session and starts the task without a Workforce planning stage.
Monitor the agent
The Session side panel can show:
- Task progress
- Execution context
- Uploaded files
- Generated output files
- Skills and tools
The chat timeline shows tool calls, status updates, requests for user input, and the final response.
Use browser and terminal workspaces
When the agent uses browser or terminal tools, the corresponding workspace becomes available in the Session. The workspace is scoped to the selected Run.
Continue with follow-ups
- Enter a follow-up request in the Session.
- Send the request.
- Use the Run selector to review earlier work.
Each follow-up remains part of the same Project.
Compare execution modes
| Capability | Single Agent | Workforce |
|---|---|---|
| One continuous agent context | Yes | No, work is distributed |
| Task planning and splitting | Limited | Yes |
| Parallel specialized agents | No | Yes |
| Agent pool and workflow canvas | No | Yes |
| Browser, terminal, files, and Skills | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | Focused work | Complex multi-step work |
Troubleshooting
The task needs another specialty
Add the required tool to the agent, install a connector, or start a Workforce Project with specialized workers.
The agent cannot access a file
Attach the file, add it to the Space workspace, and confirm that the active Space has the correct folder binding.
The task is too broad
Split the request into smaller follow-up Runs or use Workforce mode.
