How Nested is put together
Nested is agent-first: you deploy agents, chat with them in parallel tasks, automate the recurring work, and read closed-period reports. Each section below maps to one part of the app — pick where you want to start.

The big picture: what Nested is and how to take a guided tour.
Chat and tasks
Workspaces, parallel task threads, and the composer tools that make writing faster.
- Chat, workspaces, and tasksPick an agent, then a workspace, then a task thread. Run several tasks in parallel.
- Attention and waiting tasksWhen another task needs you, Nested badges the agent and lists it in your account menu — without yanking you out of the current thread.
- Writing faster in chatRephrase a draft, dictate by voice, summarize a long reply, and turn any message into subtasks.
- Formula runs in chatA formula run opens on its own canvas: where it is, what it is waiting for, and which step you can open.
Your agents
Deploy an agent, then shape its settings, shared knowledge, and private memory.
- Deploy an agentA short wizard: name, pack, secrets, and who may send tasks. Cluster and Helm stay on the console.
- Agent settingsGeneral, Memory, and Automations tabs — only for agents you own.
- Shared knowledge centersGive an agent extra knowledge it can read or write during tasks — your docs, runbooks, or a team wiki.
- Private memoryBrowse, search, reorganize, and reset the knowledge center that belongs only to this agent.
- Desktop and TerminalPeek at the agent’s machine: a graphical desktop or a shell, without embedding chat on that screen.
Automations
Run an agent on a schedule or when something happens — GitHub, Slack, webhooks, and more.
- AutomationsRun an agent on a schedule or when something happens — one screen for every trigger.
- Scheduled tasksHave an agent start a prompt on chosen weekdays or a repeating interval, in a workspace you choose.
- WebhooksInbound HTTP hooks that create a task for this agent, with a workspace and a Go-template body.
- GitHubInstall the Nested GitHub app, bind a repository, and pick event presets so the right deliveries become tasks.
- Slack botsInstall a Slack bot and bind channels so this agent can take work from Slack — and reply there too.
Reports
Closed day, week, and month summaries of what your agents did.
Your account
Profile, secrets, notifications, and the pack builder.
- Overview of running workSee in-progress tasks, the latest week, and agent activity without opening every thread.
- Preferences and profileTheme, language, motion, read-aloud, and the display name Nested uses for you.
- SecretsStore API keys and credentials, keep them to yourself or share them with everyone on the account, then bind them in the wizard.
- NotificationsDevices, event prefs, history, and a test send — especially when a task needs you.
- Pack builderAuthor a pack on desktop, import skills, and publish a verified archive to the catalog.
