What is it?
Nexent is a platform for building AI agents without writing code or drawing workflows by hand. Users describe the agent they want in plain language, and the platform assembles it from unified tools, skills, memory and orchestration components, with constraints and feedback loops built in.
The project supports any OpenAI-compatible model provider and covers LLM, embedding, vision-language, speech-to-text and text-to-speech models. It includes a personal-grade knowledge base for 20+ document formats with retrieval and citations, MCP tool integration, agent-to-agent (A2A) collaboration, layered user and user-agent memory, and agent version rollback.
Nexent can be deployed with Docker Compose for individuals and small teams, or on Kubernetes with Helm for enterprise environments. Offline image packages are provided for air-gapped installs. Multi-tenancy and role-based access control are included.
Key features
- 01Generates agents from natural-language requirements without orchestration or drag-and-drop.
- 02Works with any OpenAI-compatible provider across LLM, embedding, VLM, STT and TTS models.
- 03Personal knowledge base supporting 20+ document formats with citations.
- 04Supports MCP tool extensions and agent-to-agent (A2A) collaboration.
- 05Layered memory and agent version management with rollback.
- 06Multi-tenancy and role-based access control.
Use cases
- Building internal assistants that answer questions over private documents.
- Prototyping task-specific agents by describing them in plain language.
- Deploying an agent platform on private infrastructure with Docker or Kubernetes.
- Coordinating several agents that call each other through the A2A protocol.
Quick start
- 1
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ModelEngine-Group/nexent.git - 2
Enter the project directory
cd nexent - 3
Deploy with Docker (prerequisites: Docker 24+ and Docker Compose v2+)
bash deploy.sh docker
Things to know
- Requires substantial resources: at least 4 CPU cores, 8 GiB memory and 40 GiB disk for Docker deployment.
- Kubernetes deployment needs at least 16 GiB memory and Helm 3+, which suits enterprise setups rather than small installs.
- Self-hosting involves a multi-service stack with configuration and infrastructure work.
