Input: The open-ended research task you want done → Output: A clear, well-scoped goal and success criteria for an agent
Agent goal designer
I want an AI agent to autonomously do: [YOUR TASK]. Help me write a precise goal statement, list any constraints (budget, sources, time), and define what a "done" report should include.

Agent configuration
Set the agent's goal to: [PASTE GOAL], connect your API key, set a reasonable step/budget limit, and let it run, checking in periodically.

Is this safe to run unsupervised?

Set clear step and budget limits, and review its actions periodically — fully autonomous agents can occasionally loop or drift off-task.

What tasks work best for this?

Research and information-gathering tasks with a clear, checkable output work best — avoid giving agents direct access to sensitive accounts.

Set up an AI agent that answers customer questions using your own knowledge base.
