# Let an Agent do the work

> State the goal and let an Agent do the work. Use tasks, projects and group chats to get things done together.

gugu makes Agents partners you can work with. Organize literature, edit code or build a slide deck by asking in the chat. Check progress and add requirements along the way, then open the result when it is done.

> [!NOTE]
>
> This documentation reflects the current Beta as of October 2026. The personal assistant, cross-device projects and some App features need the latest version. For the differences between the stable release and Beta, see [Updates and versions](/en/settings#updates-and-versions).

> **[First time with gugu](/en/quickstart)**
>
> Turn the sample notes into meeting minutes, then open, check and revise them.

> **[See a few examples](/en/examples)**
>
> A real task walkthrough and five short scenario clips show what happens after each action.

## Pick a starting point

| What you want to do now | Page to read |
| - | - |
| Opening gugu for the first time and unsure where to start | [Write meeting minutes](/en/quickstart) |
| Have papers to discuss at a research group meeting | [From a literature table to a meeting outline](/en/guides/research) |
| Assistant is set up and you want it to assign the work | [Assign and follow up on a piece of work](/en/guides/assistant-follow-up) |
| Unclear on tasks, projects and Agents | [Basic concepts](/en/concepts) |

## Start with something concrete

> Organize the papers in this folder. Make a table of research question, method and limitations, and cite the source for each item. Show me three sample papers first, and process the rest after I confirm.

When one message states **what to process, what you want back, and when to check with you**, the Agent has a goal it can act on.

| What you want to do | Where to start |
| - | - |
| Everyday questions, briefings, ongoing follow-up | [Personal assistant](/en/assistant) |
| Edit code, read files, finish one piece of work | [Task workspace](/en/tasks) |
| Work on a paper or a product over a long period | [Projects and folders](/en/projects) |
| Bring several people and Agents together | [Groups and collaboration](/en/groups) |
| Add the ability to read documents, browse the web or use a computer | [Apps](/en/apps) |

## Three places you will use often

**Tasks** show the Agent's work in progress, with the chat next to files, web pages and a terminal. On desktop, start from **Projects → New Task**. Each task has its own Agent.

**Projects** keep the folders and Agents for one piece of work together, with a matching group chat. The folders can be on different devices.

**Chats** are where you message people and Agents. People set the goals and Agents take on the work. To focus on one issue, open a topic from a message.

The desktop app runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. The phone app is for Android. On the phone you can keep sending messages and check tasks; files and execution stay on the device the task runs on.
