Your first agent
Create your first Nebula agent — a focused AI worker for one job. A five-step wizard covers identity, description, tools, access, and review.
An agent is an AI worker tuned for one job — research, monitoring, reminders, project management. Creating one takes about a minute with the Create agent button on the Agents page.
Create agent
Opening the wizard
Open Agents from the top header and click Create agent.
The Create Agent wizard opens. Step through the five pages.
Prefer to skip the wizard? Just tell Nebula what you want — "create an agent that tracks GitHub issues for me" — and it'll build the agent and walk you through any setup.
Or just ask Nebula
The fastest way is to skip the wizard entirely and describe the agent in chat.
Create an agent that summarizes our standup channel every morning.
Setting up the Standup Summarizer agent with read access to your Slack workspace.
Done — Standup Summarizer is on your Agents page. It'll DM you a summary every weekday at 9 AM. Want me to change the schedule or the destination?
The five steps
Pick a name (e.g. Research Assistant, Standup Bot) and optionally an image and model. The default model is usually right; pin one only if this agent needs a specific capability. See agent configuration for model tradeoffs.
A short summary of what the agent does. Nebula uses this when routing tasks — if you ask Nebula to "ping the standup bot", the description is how it knows which agent to pick.
Pick the toolkits and services the agent can act on — Slack, GitHub, web search, and the rest. Optional, and you can add or remove tools anytime from the agent's details panel.
Decide who can use the agent: set general access for the workspace (none, read, or write), invite specific people, and choose a device — leave it on Automatic to run in the cloud, or pin a specific one. See scoping & access.
A read-back of everything you set — identity, description, tools, access, and device — each with a jump-back link to edit. Looks right? Click Create agent.
After it's created
The agent shows up on the Agents page in the top header. Anyone in the workspace can see it and DM it. To make changes — instructions, tools, memory — click the agent's name in any DM to open its details panel.
Try this for your first agent
Need help? Ask Nebula directly in chat first — it can answer most questions and even reconfigure the agent for you. For bugs or anything unresolved, email support@nebula.gg. See Support for more options.
