Chatting with Nebula
Chat with your AI agent in Nebula to ask questions, upload files, and collaborate on tasks through natural conversation — no commands needed.
Chat is the primary way you interact with Nebula. You type (or speak) what you need, and your agent does the work: researching, writing, coding, or taking actions on your behalf.
Starting a conversation
From the channels page at nebula.gg, click New Channel to start a conversation. You can choose which agent to talk to, or use the default agent that comes with your account. Each conversation lives in its own channel and keeps a full history. You can come back to any conversation later and pick up where you left off.

Upload a CSV or spreadsheet and ask your agent to analyze, chart, or transform the data.
Share a PDF or document and have your agent summarize key points, extract details, or answer questions about it.

Slash commands
Type / in the chat input to see available commands:
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/new | Create a new channel |
/plan | Enable plan mode |
/clear | Clear conversation context |
/theme | Switch between light and dark mode |
/settings | Open the settings page |
/agents | View your agents |
/triggers | View your triggers |
Plan mode
Type /plan to enable plan mode. In this mode, Nebula researches and thinks through your request but won't execute any actions until you approve. Instead of acting immediately, your agent follows this process:
You can approve the plan to let Nebula execute it, or reject with feedback so the agent revises its approach. Once approved, plan mode turns off and Nebula carries out the steps.
This is useful when you want to review what Nebula will do before it does it — for example, before it sends emails, posts to Slack, or modifies data in a connected app.
Mentioning files, agents, and triggers
You can reference things in your workspace directly in a message:
@filename— reference a file you've uploaded@agent-name— mention a specific agent@trigger-name— mention an automation
This helps Nebula understand exactly what you're referring to.
