Agen is a platform for fully autonomous AI coding agents that run in the cloud. You connect a Git repo, describe a task in plain English, and agents clone the code, explore the codebase, write changes, run the pipeline, fix CI failures themselves, and hand back a merge-ready pull request with a live preview — no IDE, no local setup, no babysitting. It supports multi-repo sessions, unlimited parallel agents, scheduled runs with budget limits, and mobile task assignment. Agen positions itself against IDE-bound copilots and single-repo agents by being cloud-native from day one, with flat $59/mo pricing versus metered competitors. Non-technical teammates can assign work while engineers keep merge control. New accounts get $20 in free credits, making it easy to test on a real codebase before committing.

Business & strategy

Turn a repetitive business workflow into an AI agent deployment plan

Describe any recurring workflow — support triage, lead qualification, research ops, QA, reporting, or back-office reviews — and get a concrete AI agent deployment plan. The output maps the workflow into agent responsibilities, human approval points, tool access, permission scopes, failure modes, observability needs, and rollout phases. It is designed for teams that want to move from vague agent ideas to something production-ready without skipping governance.

Business & strategy

Audit whether an AI agent feature is ready for real-world governance

This prompt helps teams evaluate whether an AI agent feature is actually ready for real-world deployment instead of just looking impressive in a demo. It is designed for product managers, founders, operators, and technical leads who need to assess permissions, observability, spend controls, approval checkpoints, failure handling, and auditability before putting agentic workflows in front of customers or employees. The output turns a vague concept or existing workflow into a governance readiness audit with specific risks, missing controls, and prioritized improvements. That makes it useful when a team is moving from prototype to production, preparing for enterprise buyers, or trying to avoid expensive trust failures. It focuses on the operational layer that determines whether an agent can be governed responsibly, not just whether the underlying model is smart enough.

Career & productivity

Turn human-written documentation into an AI-agent-ready action spec

Use this prompt to convert messy human-oriented documentation into a structured action spec that an AI agent, automation system, or internal tool could follow more reliably. It is useful when teams have SOPs, onboarding docs, API notes, support playbooks, or internal process guides that are understandable to humans but too ambiguous for consistent machine execution. The output rewrites the material into clear steps, decision rules, required inputs, expected outputs, edge cases, and escalation paths, while preserving uncertainty instead of pretending the original documentation was complete. This makes it valuable for operations teams, product builders, AI workflow designers, and companies trying to make their institutional knowledge more machine-readable without rewriting everything from scratch. It focuses on practical clarity, not abstract theory about documentation quality.
