These are examples to type as they are, grouped by the part of Ysra that
runs them, with what real runs gave back and what they cost. Use them to try a
part for the first time, or to see what a good request looks like. The
What you need column says whether an example works with nothing but an
account, once a tool is connected in Settings → Integrations, or with the
desktop app or the CLI. To choose a part first, see
When to use what.

What real runs gave back
These examples were run as written on 12 October 2026. What came back, and
what each cost:
| Example |
What came back |
Credits |
| Payroll providers in France |
A workbook comparing the three, with published prices, an estimated monthly cost for 25 people, setup times, extra fees, a checklist for France and a sheet of its 21 sources. The answer named the best starting point for a France-only company and what to confirm first. |
78 |
| Five clauses to worry about (a sample supply agreement) |
The five clauses, each with its section: one-sided termination, prices changed at seven days’ notice, a quarterly minimum with a 70% shortfall charge, exclusivity with no exceptions, and delivery and liability. Then three more to negotiate, and a note to have a local lawyer check it before signing. |
6 |
| A company brief before a call |
A PDF with what the company sells, who runs it, recent news and questions for the call, from 25 sources. The notes ran onto a second page, and the answer said so instead of calling it finished. |
47 |
| Conference budget in Lisbon |
A workbook with venue, catering and travel, a 10% reserve worked out in the sheet, and a total per attendee. These are Ysra’s own estimates, without sources. |
19 |
| Letting Ysra work on a folder on a server |
The steps, with links to the pages in these docs. |
2 |
| A bakery’s one-page website |
The page, its styles, two photos made for it, and a contact form with 4 tests that pass. The thread ended with a receipt line: “Ran: the form's 4 tests (passed).” |
253 |
| Website watch and Competitor watch |
The website watch recorded the site as up; the competitor watch reported what it found, with sources. |
