Nexent is a zero-code platform for auto-generating production-grade AI agents, built on **Harness Engineering** principles. It provides unified tools, skills, memory, and orchestration with built-in constraints, feedback loops, and control planes — no orchestration, no complex drag-and-drop required, using pure language to develop any agent you want.

# 🚀 Get Started Now

> ⭐ Before you get started, please star us on [GitHub](https://github.com/ModelEngine-Group/nexent) — your support drives us forward!

## Option 1: Try Our Official Demo

No installation required — jump right in with our **[online demo environment](http://60.204.251.153:3000/en)** to experience Nexent's capabilities instantly.

## Option 2: Deploy on Your Own

If you need to run Nexent locally or in your private infrastructure, we offer two deployment options:

### System Requirements

| Resource | Docker | Kubernetes |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| **CPU** | 4 cores (min) / 8 cores (rec.) | 4 cores (min) / 8 cores (rec.) |
| **Memory** | 8 GiB (min) / 16 GiB (rec.) | 16 GiB (min) / 64 GiB (rec.) |
| **Disk** | 40 GiB (min) / 100 GiB (rec.) | 100 GiB (min) / 200 GiB (rec.) |
| **Architecture** | x86_64 / ARM64 | x86_64 / ARM64 |
| **Software** | Docker 24+, Docker Compose v2+ | Kubernetes 1.24+, Helm 3+ |

> **Note:** Recommended configurations ensure optimal performance in production environments.

### Docker Deployment (Recommended for Individuals/Small Teams)

Quick and straightforward for most users. Prerequisites: Docker 24+ and Docker Compose v2+:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ModelEngine-Group/nexent.git
cd nexent/docker
bash deploy.sh
```

The Docker and Kubernetes deploy scripts share the same deployment configuration model. Interactive runs show Bash TUI menus for component selection, port policy, and image source. `infrastructure` is required; `application` is selected by default but can be disabled. Use `b`/Backspace to return to the previous TUI step and `q` to quit. Non-interactive runs can pass the same choices with `--components`, `--port-policy development|production`, and `--image-source general|mainland|local-latest`. Successful deployments save non-sensitive choices to each deploy directory's `deploy.options` for reuse on the next run.

Docker uninstall is handled by `bash uninstall.sh`. It can preserve or delete data volumes: run it interactively, pass `--delete-volumes true|false`, or use `bash uninstall.sh delete-all` to remove containers and persistent data.

For detailed deployment instructions, see [Docker Installation](https://modelengine-group.github.io/nexent/en/quick-start/installation.html).

### Kubernetes Deployment (For Enterprise Production)

Ideal for enterprise scenarios requiring high availability and elastic scaling. Prerequisites: Kubernetes 1.24+ and Helm 3+:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ModelEngine-Group/nexent.git
cd nexent/k8s/helm
./deploy.sh
```

Kubernetes uninstall is handled by `bash uninstall.sh`. It removes the Helm release first, then can optionally delete the namespace and local hostPath data. Use `--delete-namespace true|false`, `--delete-local-data true|false`, or `bash uninstall.sh delete-all`; pass `--keep-local-data` with `delete-all` to preserve local volume contents.

For detailed deployment instructions, see [Kubernetes Installation](https://modelengine-group.github.io/nexent/en/quick-start/kubernetes-installation.html).
