Hi Devs!

We’re a small group of open-source AI enthusiasts working within a big company, trying to build something meaningful. Today, we’re super excited to share Nexent with you — a project that makes it incredibly easy to go from a natural language prompt to a working AI agent.

No drag-and-drop. No scripts. No code. Just a prompt → plan → execute.

🧠 What Is Nexent?

Nexent is a zero-code, open-source platform that automatically generates intelligent agents from natural language. These agents aren’t just fancy chatbots — they can:

Understand your goals
Plan multi-step tasks
Use external tools and APIs
Manage memory and context
Return results in structured formats

Nexent agents combine models, tools, and data into fully functional intelligent workflows — all triggered by a simple prompt.

🛠️ Try It in 4 Lines

Yes, it’s that simple to get started. Just clone, install, and run:

git clone https://github.com/ModelEngine-Group/nexent.git
cd nexent/docker
cp .env.example .env # fill only nessasary configs
bash deploy.sh

And you’ll get access to:

A web interface for running agents
Built-in tools and examples
Support for local model plugins
MCP tools integration

✨ Why We Built Nexent

As developers working inside a large company, we saw a lot of exciting LLM and AI tooling — but most of it required complicated orchestration, scripts, or internal glue code.

We wanted to build something different:

No-code but not limited
Extensible via simple plugins (MCP-based)
Fast to prototype, but strong enough for production
Open-source and self-hosted, always

🔍 Example Use Case: Knowledge Assistant AI Agent (Multimodal + Source-Aware)

Nexent powers a knowledge assistant agent that goes far beyond basic Q&A. It can:

🔎 Search internal docs and the web
📚 Trace source citations for every response
🧠 Summarize or synthesize across multiple formats
🖼️ Present information in text, images, and charts
🔧 Use both LLMs and custom tools to answer complex domain-specific queries

Whether it's for research, compliance, or decision support — this agent acts as a smart, explainable layer on top of your knowledge base and APIs.
