The Nixopus sidebar gives you a chat interface to the AI deploy agent. You type in natural language — the agent handles the rest.
Open the chat
Click the Nixopus icon in the sidebar or run Nixopus: Open Chat from the command palette.
What the agent can do
- Analyze your codebase — Detects your framework, services, and dependencies.
- Generate configurations — Creates Dockerfiles, docker-compose files, and deployment configs tailored to your project.
- Deploy your app — Creates a project on Nixopus and deploys it end-to-end.
- Diagnose issues — Reads logs, identifies errors, and suggests fixes for failed deployments.
The agent uses tools (file generation, API calls, deployment actions) to complete tasks. You control how it asks for permission.
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|
| Ask | The agent asks for approval before executing each tool. You review and confirm. |
| Auto | The agent executes tools automatically without prompting. Faster, but less control. |
nixopus.toolApproval. Default is ask.
Start with ask mode to see exactly what the agent does. Switch to auto once you’re comfortable with the flow.
