asknex is built around three surfaces: Ask, NexDocs, and Skills. They share one workspace, one Library, and cited answers.

​
Ask

Ask blends live web exploration with models to return sourced answers — not a list of links. From the composer you can turn tools on or off for that chat:
  • Web — search the open web
  • Image — generate images from a prompt
  • Skills — use enabled skills
  • Connectors — use connected apps (when you have them)
Optional sources include Academic, Reddit, Wikipedia, and GitHub.

​
Citations

When Ask uses sources, citations sit on the answer. Open Sources to check them. Do not treat an answer as a primary source. Learn more about Ask →

​
NexDocs

Chat with files in your workspace. Upload PDFs, Word, text, markdown, and spreadsheets, then ask questions against one file or many. Why it is separate from Ask: NexDocs answers from your documents. Ask answers from the web and tools unless you attach files.
  • Upload and process files in Library / Files
  • Switch the composer to NexDocs
  • Answers stay grounded in those files, with citations back to them
  • Files stay in your workspace

​
Skills

Skills are reusable instructions for Ask. They replaced the old Agents Hub — there is no agent marketplace in the sidebar.
  • AskNex skills — builtins you can browse and enable
  • Personal skills — you write the name and instructions in Settings
  • Enable a skill, turn on Skills in the composer, then @mention it

Library

Every Ask and NexDocs thread lands in Library. Reopen it, bookmark it, or share a link. Files you uploaded live next to those threads.
