Create an employee

When you finish, you’ll have an employee made for a job of your own, and it will have started on that job.

Create an employee in Nebo

1. At the top of the sidebar, click + (Hire an employee).
2. Type a name.
3. In the job field, describe what they’ll do. For example: “Answer new inquiries within one business day and book a call.” Nebo lists what the employee will be able to do. Remove anything you don’t want.
4. Click Hire them. Nebo opens a chat, and your new employee introduces itself.
5. Tell it how you like the job done, then give it the first job.

Create an employee from a file

An employee can also be a single file that describes the job in plain language.

1. Open the folder Nebo uses for your employees:
   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Nebo/user/agents/
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Nebo\user\agents\
   • Linux: ~/.local/share/nebo/user/agents/
2. Make a new folder for the employee. The folder’s name becomes the employee’s name, like Riley.
3. In that folder, create a file named AGENT.md.
4. Write who the employee is, what the job is, and how to do it well. Then save the file.

# Riley

You answer new inquiries for the business.
Reply within one business day, ask what the customer needs,
and offer two times for a call. Keep replies short and friendly.
If someone asks about pricing, draft the answer and ask me first.

Nebo picks up the new folder while it runs, and the employee appears under Employees in the sidebar. Open its chat and give it a job.
