Features

๐Ÿ–ฑ Double-click install

Download, double-click, start using. No environment variables, no dependency wrestling, no long install docs. nexu's first run is as capable as it getsโ€”ready out of the box.

๐Ÿ”— Built-in OpenClaw ๐Ÿฆž Skills + full Feishu Skills

Native OpenClaw ๐Ÿฆž Skills and full Feishu Skills ship together. Agents move beyond demos and into the real workflows your team already usesโ€”without extra integration work.

๐Ÿง  Top-tier models, out of the box

Use Gemini and more directly via your nexu account. No extra config. Switch to your own API Key anytime.

๐Ÿ” OAuth login, no key needed

MiniMax, OpenAI Codex, and GLM (Z.AI Coding Plan) support OAuth loginโ€”authorize with one click, no need to copy-paste API keys.

๐Ÿ”‘ Bring your own API Key, no login

Prefer your own model providers? Add your API Key and use the client without creating an account or logging in.

๐Ÿ“ฑ IM-connected, mobile-ready

Connect to WeChat, Feishu, Slack, or Discord and your AI agent is instantly available on your phone. No extra appโ€”just open WeChat or your team chat and start talking to your agent on the go.

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Built for teams

Open-source at the core, with a desktop experience that actually runs. Compatible with the tools and model stack your team already trusts.


Use cases

nexu is built for One Person Company and small teamsโ€”one person, one AI team.

๐Ÿ›’ Solo e-commerce / cross-border trade

"I used to spend the whole weekend writing listings in 3 languages. Now I tell my Agent the product specs in Feishu, and by the time I finish my coffee, the listings are ready for Amazon, Shopee, and TikTok Shop."

Product research, competitor pricing, listing optimization, multilingual marketing assetsโ€”compress a week's work into one afternoon.

โœ๏ธ Content creators / knowledge bloggers

"Monday morning: I ask my Agent in Slack for this week's trending topics. By lunch, I have 5 draft posts across Xiaohongshu, WeChat, and Twitterโ€”each in the right tone for the platform."

Trend tracking, topic generation, multi-platform content production, comment engagementโ€”run a content matrix solo.

๐Ÿ’ป Indie developers

"3 AM bug hunt? I paste the stack trace into Discord, my Agent traces it to a race condition, suggests a fix, and even drafts the PR description. Pair programming that never sleeps."

Code review, doc generation, bug analysis, repetitive task automationโ€”your Agent is your pair-programming partner.

โš–๏ธ Legal / finance / consulting

"A client sends a 40-page contract on Feishu. I forward it to my Agentโ€”10 minutes later I get a risk summary, flagged clauses, and suggested revisions. What used to take half a day now takes a coffee break."

Contract review, regulation lookup, report generation, client Q&Aโ€”turn domain expertise into Agent skills.

๐Ÿช Local business / retail

"Customers message me at midnight asking 'is this in stock?' My Agent in Feishu auto-replies with real-time inventory, handles returns, and even sends a promo coupon. I actually sleep now."

Inventory management, order follow-up, auto-reply to customer messages, marketing copyโ€”let AI help run the shop.

๐ŸŽจ Design / creative

"I drop a rough brief in Slack: 'landing page for a pet food brand, playful vibe.' My Agent comes back with copy options, color palette suggestions, and reference imagesโ€”all before the kickoff meeting."

Requirement breakdown, asset search, copywriting, design annotationโ€”free up creative time, cut repetitive work.
