How it works

Connected in a minute. In your control after that.

  3. Ask from anywhere

    Text your agent on iMessage or WhatsApp, message it in Slack or the app, or put a Nextdns job on a schedule: every morning, every Friday.

Works with your other tools

Nextdns, together with the rest of your stack.

Ask for an outcome that spans apps and your agent pulls from each one, cross-checks them and sends back one answer.
