Start with Egbe

Connect Egbe to the agent you already use, then work in your project’s folder. Your agent can use Egbe’s services to research, build, publish and improve your business. You do not need to install an Egbe command-line tool.

1. Open your business

Sign in to the Egbe Dashboard. Open an existing business, or create a new one and follow the setup shown there.

Choose Connect your agent. If the page offers connection methods, keep Any AI agent selected for the standard setup. Select Copy instructions. If copying fails, use View instructions and copy the text manually.

The instructions include your private project key. Paste them only into the agent you want to connect; keep them out of public issues, shared documents and screenshots.

2. Choose a persistent project folder

Open or create a folder in your agent environment, then paste the instructions into its chat. An empty folder is fine. Full setup requires files that persist between sessions, shell commands, Python 3.10 or newer, and permission to make authenticated HTTPS requests to Egbe.

Your agent follows the live quickstart. It installs project skills and working methods, connects project guidance, saves credentials in the project’s Git-ignored .env.local, and verifies your business and allowances. Let it reuse existing project files rather than start a second installation.

If your current chat has no persistent workspace, you can still ask it to explain Egbe. It will prepare a handoff to a suitable environment. See connection options.

3. Confirm what is ready

Ask your agent to report the verified business, usable capabilities and anything still pending. A Dashboard connection record shows that an agent contacted Egbe; it does not establish that every setup step is complete.

The standard connection prompt authorizes project session logging. Your agent should explain its capture and activation state; an existing saved decline remains respected. You can ask it to turn logging off. Recurring work needs a separate agreement about responsibility, timing and delivery.

4. Start useful work

Give the agent a concrete goal, for example:

Help me turn this idea into a first version customers can try. Use the materials in this folder, explain the next deliverable, and tell me which decisions you need from me.

Connection alone does not authorize publishing, advertising, outreach or spending. Agree the task and relevant budget, then continue in the same workspace. If setup stalls, use troubleshooting.
