Deploy an agent

A short wizard: name, pack, secrets, and who may send tasks. Cluster and Helm stay on the console.

Why it works this way

You should be able to stand up an agent you own — or pick one that already answers anyone — without an ops form. Advanced overrides belong in the dashboard.

Before you start

• Have a Nested account. Create any API keys the pack will need as secrets first, or add them in the wizard.
• Open New agent from the plus in the sidebar, or from the mobile agent list.

Steps

1. Choose an existing agent that answers anyone, or create your own.
2. Name the deployment with lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes.
3. Pick a pack (and an ACP agent if the catalog asks). Bind secrets the pack declared.
4. Set task acceptance to Only me or Anyone signed in, then confirm. Nested lands you in chat on the new agent.

Example

Create “research”, pick a browsing pack, bind a search API secret as Only me, and deploy. The new agent appears in the sidebar when it is running.
