Hi, my name is Timothy and I've been working on Nelly for the last few months.
Nelly is an AI agent/assistent platform where you can build, use and soon share AI agents. You create the agents by simply writing instructions in natural language, and you can break down these instructions into smaller parts as sub-agents. You then use these agents with Nelly's chat interface to perform tasks for you.
Nelly is a desktop app, currently for Mac but soon also for Windows and Linux, that you install on your computer. The agents and their data are stored on your computer but the LLM used for decision making, etc. is running in the cloud (currently Claude 3.7 Sonnet via OpenRouter). With a paid subscription you can connect Nelly directly to your own LLM providers.
You will soon be able to both share and explore third-party tools and agents on the Marketplace. Built-in tools at the moment include a browser, a calculator, and a database.
Read about how I use Nelly to pay out my salary, from calculating the net salary, making the bank transfers, and declaring it to the tax authorities, to recording it in my accounting software:

This is just the beginning, the next step is to add MCP support, then launch the Marketplace with both agents and tools, and improving the platform with file support and more.
I'm looking forward to see what you build!
Nelly
