Using Nekko Agent
Nekko Cloud machines
Status: first build, not yet live. The pieces exist in the code (the Cloud API, the machine image, the iPhone screens); nothing is deployed, and the egress limits are not yet enforced outside the machine. See
spec/phone/nekko-cloud-machines.md.
A Nekko Cloud machine is a sandboxed computer in the cloud that your phone pairs with like any other computer, so you can use cloud models from your phone with no computer of your own switched on. It is part of Nekko Cloud Pro and Team.
What it is
- The same engine and image you can self-host (
ghcr.io/nekko-labs/nekko-agent), started for you on a small machine (2 vCPUs, 4 GB, 20 GB disk) in a region near you, with no public address. It only dials out: to the relay, to GitHub and to the providers you set up. - To the phone it is a computer: the same end-to-end encrypted relay, the same chat, approvals, files, git and pull requests, the same computer page.
- It stops when idle and keeps its disk; it is deleted when you say so or after a week unused. Your chats sync back to your account end-to-end encrypted, so nothing is lost when it sleeps.
What the cloud may see
You decide, per machine, and nothing else reaches it. The defaults are the minimum:
| Default | |
|---|---|
| Repositories it may clone | none; add owner/repo on the machine's page |
| Model providers | none; a key you add is sealed to the machine and never held by Nekko Labs |
| Privacy Shield on every cloud model request | on |
| Memory, rules and saved prompts from your computers | off |
| Connectors | not offered yet |
| Sync chats back to your account | on, end-to-end encrypted |
A cloud machine is never paired with your own computers and never receives their credentials, folders or terminals. Nekko Labs operators have no shell into your machine by policy, and it holds no chat text that sync has not already sealed.
From the phone
- Settings → Nekko Cloud → Machines: your machines, and New machine, which makes one and pairs it in one step.
- New chat → Nekko Cloud: run the chat on your machine (or make one).
- Computers → the machine: its state, region and hours, Stop and Start, the scope above, and Stop and delete this machine.
