What easy-stock does
easy-stock belongs to the business agents family: agents specialised in one job: customer support, sales, finance, legal, HR, security. On our grid it ranks #37 of the 52 projects of this family listed in the directory.
You use it from: desktop app. It can run on your own machine or server.
Who is easy-stock for?
It targets a specific job (customer support, sales, finance, legal…) with workflows already set up. Typical tasks people give it:
- handle first-line customer requests
- prepare standard documents
- track cases and follow up
It is a good candidate if your data must stay on your machines.
Access and human control
According to its documentation, easy-stock can:
- call online services and APIs
- read and edit files
- read and send messages
We could not establish whether it asks for human approval before sensitive actions: test it first on an unimportant account or folder.
easy-stock pricing
The code is public but the repository declares no licence: reuse is not formally allowed. The real cost comes from model calls: each loop step sends the whole context back to the model, and a task of several dozen steps can cost far more than a single question. The LLM price calculator estimates it for the chosen model.
Getting started with easy-stock
- Install it: the project ships as a single Go binary, downloadable from the repository releases. The exact command is in the repository README.
- Create an API key with the model provider and put it in an environment variable, never in a shared or versioned file.
- Give it a first playground with nothing at stake: a test folder, a secondary account or a throwaway project. Only open your real accounts once you have seen how it behaves.
- Give it a short, checkable task, review the result and its action log, then raise the difficulty step by step.
Security: risk level
A business agent acts on the company's behalf: define what it may promise, refund or change, and keep a record of its decisions.
Points found for easy-stock:
- Trifecta: access to private data, reading outside content and sending messages. That combination makes data leaks through prompt injection possible.
- No licence: legally shaky for company use.
Three habits: least privilege (minimal rights, dedicated keys), human approval for irreversible actions, a sandbox for code execution. The AI agent security check reviews your setup in a few minutes.
