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.
One prompt. Endless reach.

If you need to run Nexent locally or in your private infrastructure, we offer two deployment options:
| 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.
Quick and straightforward for most users. Prerequisites: Docker 24+ and Docker Compose v2+:
git clone https://github.com/ModelEngine-Group/nexent.git
cd nexent/docker
bash deploy.shThe 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.
Ideal for enterprise scenarios requiring high availability and elastic scaling. Prerequisites: Kubernetes 1.24+ and Helm 3+:
git clone https://github.com/ModelEngine-Group/nexent.git
cd nexent/k8s/helm
./deploy.shKubernetes 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.
