Compare suppliers
Ask your agent to compare suppliers, organise the details, and save a report you can actually use.
Setup outline · Official resources checked 4 October 2026. This is not a tested Cubicles installation or an automatic template.
Before you start
- A research agent and its model account or API key
- Your criteria and the sources you want it to check
Allow for agent/model costs separately from the computer subscription. Check the agent's current prerequisites in its official guide.
1. Open the computer
When your computer is running, choose Open computer. It opens the desktop in your browser tab. Open Terminal there to install any extra tools.
2. Connect your agent
Hermes Agent is an example option for this task. It comes installed on your computer, along with OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app. Follow its official account setup to sign in, and enable any browser, search, or file tools needed by your task.

3. Try this first task
Compare five suppliers for recycled packaging. Include minimum orders, lead times, pricing where published, and source links. Mark anything you cannot verify. Save the comparison as supplier-shortlist.md.
Check the sources and unverified details before making a decision.
4. Check the result and continuity
Find the saved output and inspect it. Then configure a persistent process using your agent's current instructions, close only the browser view, and reconnect to check the same workspace. Do not stop the computer during that test.

Check installation errors, model authentication, tool availability, and the working directory. Use the official project's troubleshooting resources.
