Agents in Nebula
Agents are AI workers shared across your workspace. Every member can chat with them, every channel can include them, every automation can call them.
Agents are the AI workers in your workspace. When you ask Nebula to do something, it acts as a coordinator — figuring out which specialized agents to bring in and delegating work to them. Agents are shared with everyone in the workspace by default.
Agents are private to you or shared with your whole workspace. A shared agent runs with its owner's connected apps. See Agent scoping & access.
Where agents come from
Built-in agents
Every workspace ships with Nebula, plus specialists for code, web, media, and inbox work.
Auto-created from connected apps
Connect Slack and a Slack Agent appears. Connect GitHub and a GitHub Agent appears. No config needed.
Custom-built
Describe what you want to Nebula; it builds the agent and adds it to your workspace.
Workspace-scoped, with optional privacy
Every agent lives in a workspace. By default, agents are visible to everyone in that workspace — sidebar, mentions, automations. You can set an agent to Private if it should only be yours.
| Workspace agent | Private agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Listed in sidebar for | Every member | Just the creator |
| Mentionable by | Every member | Just the creator |
| Usable in automations | Anyone in the workspace | Just the creator |
| Best for | Team utilities, recurring jobs | Personal experiments inside a team workspace |
Not sure how to configure an agent? Ask Nebula — it can build, edit, and rename agents directly in chat.
How agents get work done
For longer tasks, watch the agent's progress live in the thread view. Other workspace members can watch too — agents are shared work.

Threads
Threads are individual conversations inside a channel, each with its own context and an auto-generated summary. Start, find, and use threads in Nebula.
Create Custom Agents
Build custom AI agents in Nebula to automate specific tasks, workflows, or app integrations. Create them from the sidebar or in chat.
