Miniapps
Miniapps are small interactive tools your agent builds inside a channel — dashboards, forms, maps, and pickers you describe in plain language.
A miniapp is a small interactive tool your agent builds for you inside a channel — a dashboard, a form, a map, a picker — and you get one by describing it in plain language.
What a miniapp is
Most of what an agent gives you is a reply. Sometimes what you actually want is a thing: a form your team can fill in, a chart you can filter, a map you can pan. That's a miniapp. It lives in the channel where it was made, keeps working after the conversation moves on, and anyone in the workspace can open it.
You don't specify it up front or scaffold a project. You say what you want, the agent builds it, and you refine it by asking for changes in the same thread.
Create a miniapp
Describe the tool you want in a channel and let your agent build it.
Use a miniapp
Open one beside the chat or fullscreen, and keep iterating on it.
Where they live
Every miniapp belongs to the channel it was created in, which is what keeps it findable later — the conversation that produced it is right there. The Miniapps row in the sidebar collects them all in one place when you'd rather go straight to the tool than back to the thread.
Because a miniapp is built by an agent, it inherits that agent's reach: the tools it can call and the model it was created on. A miniapp spawned from a thread keeps the model that thread was on, so it doesn't quietly change behaviour underneath you.
When to reach for one
A dashboard over data the agent has already gathered, so you can watch it change rather than re-asking for a summary each time.
A form or picker your teammates can use without needing to prompt an agent themselves — useful when the people who need the tool aren't the ones who built it.
A map, a simulator, or anything with parameters worth changing. Interactive beats a static answer when the question is "what if".
Not sure whether what you want is a miniapp or just an answer? Ask Nebula in chat — describe the outcome you're after and it will build one if that's the better fit. For anything unresolved, email support@nebula.gg.

Jobs
Jobs run your agents automatically — on a schedule, from an app event, or via webhook. Turn any one-off task you ask Nebula to do into a recurring job.

Describe the tool you want in a channel and Nebula builds it — a one-line prompt is enough to spin up a dashboard, map, form, or simulator.
