Where Niki does its own thing
Niki is for teams that want to see the work, steer the work, and know what went into the answer. Radical, we know.
1. The agents show their work
Inspect plans and assignments without reading tea leaves in one long conversation.
2. Put it where you manage it
Place the application and storage inside infrastructure you control.
3. Pick providers and network boundaries
Choose compatible providers and decide where traffic is allowed to go.
4. Local context gets a proper seat
Use local files, NFS shares, private object storage, and organization-specific plugins.
Niki might be your thing if...
You want the work out in the open and the important decisions still in your hands.
- You want to inspect and steer the agent team one task at a time.
- Customer-cloud or self-hosted deployment matters.
- You want to pick compatible model and search providers.
- Local files, NFS, and private infrastructure belong in the front row.
Give the agents something useful to do
Bring the brief, the sources, and the tools. Niki keeps the whole crew—and every task—in view.
