Nex: Compounding Intelligence for AI agents

Turn all your AI agent conversations into a unified knowledge graph. Supports Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, OpenCode, etc. Adds additional context from Email, Meetings, Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce.

Tell something to OpenClaw. Ask about it in Claude Code. Reference it from Cursor. Context follows you across tools — no copy-pasting, no re-explaining, no lost context.

Talk to the team, share feedback, and connect with other developers building AI agents with Nex.

How It Works

You → OpenClaw: "Maria Rodriguez, CTO of TechFlow, wants to expand to Europe in Q3. Budget is $2M."

You → Claude Code: "What do you know about Maria Rodriguez?"
Claude Code: "Maria Rodriguez is the CTO of TechFlow. They're planning European expansion
              in Q3 with a $2M budget."

You → Cursor: "Which companies are planning European expansion?"
Cursor: "TechFlow — Maria Rodriguez (CTO) confirmed Q3 timeline, $2M budget."

One fact entered once. Available everywhere, instantly.

Integration Options

Quick Start (Recommended)

# Install and run setup — handles everything in one step
npm install -g @nex-ai/nex
nex setup

nex setup registers your API key, auto-detects your AI platforms (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.), installs hooks, scans project files, and creates config. One command, fully configured.

# Now use it from any agent
nex ask "who is Maria Rodriguez?"
nex remember "Met with Maria, CTO of TechFlow. European expansion Q3, $2M budget."

Copy-Paste Prompt For Any AI Agent

Drop this prompt into any terminal-capable AI agent when you want it to bootstrap Nex for you end to end:

Install and fully bootstrap Nex in this project from start to finish.

1. If the `nex` CLI is missing, install it globally with `npm install -g @nex-ai/nex`.
2. If Nex is not authenticated yet, ask me for the email address I want to use for registration, then continue. If Nex is already authenticated, reuse the existing account and key.
3. Run `nex setup` and complete the full install flow for every detected AI coding platform in this environment.
4. After setup, inspect integrations and connect the first available unconnected integration. Prefer this order when multiple choices are available: gmail, google-calendar, slack, salesforce, hubspot, attio, outlook, outlook-calendar. If OAuth is required, open the browser flow and wait for it to complete.
5. Run a fresh file scan for the current directory so the workspace is up to date.
6. After the scan finishes, trigger Nex compounding jobs by calling the authenticated `POST https://app.nex.ai/api/developers/v1/compounding/trigger` endpoint for these job types: `consolidation`, `pattern_detection`, and `playbook_synthesis`. Use the active Nex API key from the current environment or the config written by Nex setup.
7. Fetch the last 24 hours of insights with the insights endpoint or `nex insight list --last 24h`, then give me a clean digest with sections for Highlights, Risks, Opportunities, Open Loops, and Recommended Next Actions.
8. Finish by showing me:
   - what Nex installed
   - which integration was connected
   - how many files were scanned and ingested
   - whether the compounding/playbooks trigger succeeded
   - the formatted 24-hour insight digest

Do not stop after partial setup. Only pause if you need my email for registration or if an OAuth flow requires my interaction.

This works best in agents that can run shell commands and open OAuth URLs.

See cli/README.md for all 50+ commands.

Shared Config

All surfaces share configuration for cross-tool compatibility:

Register once via any surface → all other surfaces pick up the key automatically.
