📋 What is nexu?

nexu (next to you) is an open-source desktop client that runs your OpenClaw 🦞 Agent directly inside WeChat, Feishu, Slack, Discord, and other IM channels.

WeChat + OpenClaw supported — works with WeChat 8.0.7 OpenClaw plugin. Click connect, scan with WeChat, and start chatting with your AI Agent.

Download and go — graphical setup, built-in Feishu Skills, multi-model support (Gemini and more), and bring your own API Key.

Once connected to IM, your Agent is online 24/7 — chat from your phone anytime, anywhere.

All data stays on your machine. Your privacy, fully in your control.

👥 Built for teams

Use cases

nexu is built for One Person Company and small teams — one person, one AI team.

🛒 Solo e-commerce / cross-border trade

"I used to spend the whole weekend writing listings in 3 languages. Now I tell my Agent the product specs in Feishu, and by the time I finish my coffee, the listings are ready for Amazon, Shopee, and TikTok Shop."

Product research, competitor pricing, listing optimization, multilingual marketing assets — compress a week's work into one afternoon.

✍️ Content creators / knowledge bloggers

"Monday morning: I ask my Agent in Slack for this week's trending topics. By lunch, I have 5 draft posts across Xiaohongshu, WeChat, and Twitter — each in the right tone for the platform."

Trend tracking, topic generation, multi-platform content production, comment engagement — run a content matrix solo.

💻 Indie developers

"3 AM bug hunt? I paste the stack trace into Discord, my Agent traces it to a race condition, suggests a fix, and even drafts the PR description. Pair programming that never sleeps."

Code review, doc generation, bug analysis, repetitive task automation — your Agent is your pair-programming partner.

⚖️ Legal / finance / consulting

"A client sends a 40-page contract on Feishu. I forward it to my Agent — 10 minutes later I get a risk summary, flagged clauses, and suggested revisions. What used to take half a day now takes a coffee break."

Contract review, regulation lookup, report generation, client Q&A — turn domain expertise into Agent skills.

🏪 Local business / retail

"Customers message me at midnight asking 'is this in stock?' My Agent in Feishu auto-replies with real-time inventory, handles returns, and even sends a promo coupon. I actually sleep now."

Inventory management, order follow-up, auto-reply to customer messages, marketing copy — let AI help run the shop.

🎨 Design / creative

"I drop a rough brief in Slack: 'landing page for a pet food brand, playful vibe.' My Agent comes back with copy options, color palette suggestions, and reference images — all before the kickoff meeting."

Requirement breakdown, asset search, copywriting, design annotation — free up creative time, cut repetitive work.
