Nerve connects to the apps your team already uses, searches through your internal content, and automates your most common workflows. It handles everything from writing docs, to updating your CRM, creating tickets in JIRA, and responding to emails. Even more, it proactively surfaces your most important to-dos and team updates. Nerve is enterprise ready, with SOC 2 compliance, SAML/SSO support, and never trains on your data.

Hi ProductHunt! You probably use a lot of ChatGPT or Claude for work (as did we) but we kept running into three problems:
1- They didn't have a deep understanding of my work. None of them knew what I’d said in a slack thread, on a video call, or what the latest updates to a file in my google drive were.
2- They couldn't actually do my everyday work tasks. They’d stop short of actually completing my work, like creating the actual jira tickets, sending followup emails, and updating my CRM.
3- They were too reliant on me starting a chat. I wanted something that would be able to proactively surface anything that should be important to me - things I need to take action on or updates on projects I’m watching.
We built Nerve to solve for this and be the one AI any company can use for work. It’s enterprise ready, SOC 2 certified, and SSO compatible.
Our customers are using Nerve for tasks like:
- Find all users that have requested a mobile app at some point and send them an email about our launch
- Write me a PRD using this template and then create the corresponding JIRA tickets
- Update the Salesforce opportunity fields from a gong call transcript and draft a follow up for any action items
Nerve is free to try at https://www.usenerve.com/, and to celebrate our launch we're giving extended trials to the first 150 users from PH, message me at aziz@usenerve.com to claim :)

Hey PH! Cofounder/CTO here at Nerve.
We solved a ton of technical challenges while building Nerve -- everything from indexing huge amounts of data while maintaining a strict permission layer, to building more advanced agents that are able to handle more complicated workflows like pipeline reviews or performance evaluations, and even dealing with writing data back to dozens of apps.
Happy to chat about any of those if you’re curious, and always open to feedback!

@tanooj Tanooj and I worked very closely at Brex where we built their banking product, and he's easily one of the best engineers I've ever worked with :)
Ever since the first chatgpt launch we've been tinkering with the idea of what a true work AI would look like - one that would not just chat but actually do most of our everyday workflows and unburden us to do higher leverage, more creative tasks.
We built Nerve to solve the problems we faced at Brex and that all growing companies do: information getting siloed, too many notifications, and a lot more time spent writing docs or updating systems of record than doing our actual work. I hope you find Nerve as useful and time saving as our current users and I look forward to hearing your feedback!
Congrats on the launch! What was the biggest technical challenge in building the engine that connects all these disparate apps and internal content?
Nerve
@lightninglx the biggest technical challenge has been making it all work with a good performance. Even a company with 500 employees already has millions of data pieces (any tons more generated every day), all of which needs to be indexed and pulled on demand. A lot of that is updating over the course of the day.
And doing all of this while maintaining a strict permission structure is crucial. A CEO should have access to different information than an intern, and to do it all seamlessly we need to mirror and abstract away individual, group, company-wide permissions to make this one-click connect experience that we really wanted to have.

A next-level productivity tool. Does Nerve support customizing workflows or is it limited to built-in integrations only?
Nerve
@getsiful We're adding new integrations all the time, though within those integrations you have a lot of ability to customize or even create your own workflows! Is there a specific thing you were trying to do?
Great idea! It would be very useful for me if AI could give recommendations on improving certain processes. For example, I write a task in Jira: "Connect Mailchimp for newsletters." The AI analyzes the task and understands that this is a personalized B2B newsletter, then gives a recommendation: "For personalized B2B newsletters it’s better to use Reply, where emails land in the primary inbox rather than the Promotions tab."
Is it easy to build this with AI? Of course!
Is it useful? It would be an absolute game-changer ;)

@mykyta_semenov_Â Actually a big use case for Nerve is as a thought partner! Customers have been using for a wide range of ideating and brainstorming tasks from coming up with product features, how to best approach a conversation with a manager, ideas for boosting specific OKRs or metrics, and recommendations on creating marketing collateral and copy that converts best!
Nerve is available in Jira via a browser extension and I'd love for you to try the exact use case you mentioned here, and share any thoughts! Try it at usenerve.com
@azizpabani Yes, but I meant something more than just a chat. After using the system for a month, it will know how many employees you have, who your clients are, what departments you have, what processes exist in each department, etc. Let’s take 360-degree employee evaluation as an example — it’s a standard HR process used in many companies. But there are companies where it hasn’t been implemented yet, for example, a small company that had 10 people yesterday and 30 today. And the young CEO of such a growing company may not know about 360 and won’t ask about it in the chat.
Each employee has their own range of responsibilities. The AI will suggest one thing to the CEO and something different to the CMO. It will think ahead for people.
So I’m talking more about helping the entire company develop, not just detailing a single task. For the AI, it would be like a project with different branches. And all the information would flow into this project in the background.
The only thing I don’t know is whether this idea fits into the strategy and goals of your startup. But personally, as an entrepreneur, it seems very useful to me.
I've been using Nerve for over six months as a PM at OpenSpace.ai. Last week I dropped a call transcript in and asked it to draft a PRD and tickets for a quick, scrappy project we wanted to ship fast. It came back with a full draft—and flagged issues we'd raised six months ago when we first discussed this project. Context pulled from old team notes, calls, and docs that nobody on the current call had mentioned. That alone saved us a ton of headaches. The beauty is now the Nerve agent takes it one step further and actually creates the Jira tickets.
No other AI tool I've used comes close to this level of context understanding. Nerve actually knows my company. It's accurately incorporated bits of information from years ago and somehow can avoid getting lost in irrelevant context. Honestly, mind-blowing. Very impressive work from the Nerve team.

@gabriel_denis_arrue_munes thanks Gabe! it's been so fun working with you and never saying 'no' or 'too unrealistic' to a task. The new capabilities were meant to be exactly that - a way for users to sit back and watch their AI do their actual work, whether its creating Jira tickets, writing a doc, or following up on emails.
We have another surprise coming up at the end of the year - you show up in the morning and Nerve's proactively done your critical tasks for you :) Coming up in the next launch!
I lead product at OpenSpace, and over the last few months Nerve has quietly become one of the most important tools in my day. It started as “yet another AI thing to try” and ended up feeling a lot closer to an extra person on the team.
A lot of AI products are basically “ChatGPT with a different skin.” Nerve is different in two important ways for us:
It actually knows our company.
Nerve sits on top of the tools we live in every day—Gmail, Slack, Google Drive, Gong, Jira, Salesforce, etc.—and indexes them in a way that respects permissions. It can only see what I can see, but it brings all of that context into a single conversation. That means I can ask things like:
“Show me everything customers have said about [competitor] in the last 2 weeks across Gong and Slack and summarize the themes.”
“Remind me what we committed to in my last call with [customer] and draft a follow-up email.”
“Pull in the latest PRDs, specs, and Slack threads related to this epic and help me write an updated product brief.”
It’s built for actual work, not just answers.
The place where Nerve really shines for me is long-form, messy work—the stuff that usually takes real time: product specs, strategy docs, customer updates, competitive reviews, internal memos.
My typical workflow now looks like:
Start with a messy brain dump: “Here’s a wall of Slack, Gong, and doc links. Help me turn this into a draft PRD in this template.”
Apply our own templates: we’ve set up PRD and internal comms templates, so Nerve can mirror our exact structure, tone, and headings. It doesn’t just write “a document” – it writes an OpenSpace-style document.
Iterate in place: I highlight a section and say “tighten this,” “make this more executive-friendly,” or “add risks and open questions based on the source material” and it edits just that portion instead of rewriting the whole thing.
For me personally, Nerve has replaced a lot of painful context gathering and blank-page time. A few concrete examples of how I actually use it:
Prepping for important calls: Before a customer or partner meeting, I’ll ask Nerve to summarize the last call, pull in any relevant emails and Slack threads, and list open questions or action items. I no longer dig through 5 different tools 10 minutes before a call.
Competitive intelligence timelines: We created a “competitive feed” timeline that watches Gong, Slack, and a few key docs for mentions of competitors. Nerve compiles this into a digest so I can see what customers are saying, how deals are shifting, and where pricing or messaging is coming up.
Weekly “what did I actually do?” summaries: I’m experimenting with using Nerve to answer “What did I work on this week?” It pulls from meetings, email, Slack, and docs to draft a Good/Bad/Neutral style update that I can quickly review and be critical about where I'm spending my time, my most critical resource.
Turn calls into real outputs: When we run internal product or project huddles, we often end with obvious next steps: “Let’s write a PRD,” “Let’s create Jira tickets,” “Let’s draft a note for sales.” Once that call is recorded and shows up in our systems, Nerve is where I go to turn that raw conversation into structured tickets or documents.
What’s made this all stick is that the team behind Nerve actually listens and ships. We’ve given them pretty opinionated feedback (sometimes bluntly), and we’ve watched them:
Fix UX paper cuts within days.
Rework action items so they auto-resolve when I actually reply in email or Slack, instead of turning into an endless, noisy backlog.
Improve timelines from overly long, source-by-source dumps to concise summaries with details available if you want them.
Is everything perfect? No product is. I’d love to see even more “agentic” workflows where it listens to my meetings or reviews notes (Granola-esque!) and proactively proposes tasks, tickets, or docs for me to confirm.
But at this point, for the way we work in product at OpenSpace, Nerve has crossed an important line: it’s not a toy, it’s infrastructure. If they turned it off tomorrow, my week would get noticeably worse.
If you’re in product (or lead a cross‑functional team) and your work lives across Slack, email, docs, Gong, and Jira, Nerve is one of the few AI tools I’ve tried that actually earns a permanent spot in that stack.
Happy to answer questions about how we’ve wired it into our workflows.
