[ 01 / Overview ]
What this project does
Nous Research's extensible autonomous agent combines tools with persistent context and multi-step execution.
[ 02 / Use cases ]
When to use it
Personal agent operations, terminal workflows, and extensible task automation.
[ 03 / Trade-offs ]
What to watch for
Restrict system access and do not trust instructions embedded in retrieved content.
