What they did
ego lite is a browser for agents like Codex and Claude Code that shares your logged-in state; agents work in their own Spaces in parallel while you keep browsing, and it installs as a skill.
Result (as claimed)
The makers claim complex tasks finish up to 2.5 times faster; macOS now, with Windows and Linux coming.
Tools they used
Cost: Pricing depends on the tools you pick; check each official pricing page.
Set it up
Map the task
Write the trigger, the inputs, the decisions and the output. Note which steps need a human yes.
Connect the tools
Set up ego lite, Codex, Claude Code with the narrowest permissions that work. Use a test account or sandbox first.
Build the workflow
Create the steps in order. Add an approval step before anything sends, pays or deletes.
Run it on real but low-stakes data
Run a few times, read every output, and fix prompts or rules that misfire.
Schedule and monitor
Turn on the schedule or trigger, and add a daily summary or alert so you notice failures.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like). 2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure. 3.
