A marketplace of AI agents that work as one team

Key points

• nox.cool's marketplace lists 104 ready-made AI agents on ten shelves. Each listing shows, word for word, everything the agent would bring: its job, an example of what it hands back, its skills, its routines and its starting notes.
• Adding an agent takes one tap. It joins your team with its own computer and memory, and none of your other agents' logins, memory or files. Its routines arrive paused.
• You don't have to talk to each agent. When a task you give Nox clearly fits another agent's job, Nox passes it over, says why, and offers a one-tap way to keep it.
• Agents can also hand parts of a task to each other and work side by side in group chats.
• Every agent's face now acts out the step it's on, so a glance tells you who is searching, writing or waiting for you.

Most AI agents start as a blank box: you write the instructions, guess at the steps, and find out what it does by trying it. That's fine for one agent. It stops being fine when you want five, each doing one job well. nox.cool now has a marketplace of 104 ready-made AI agents, and each listing shows what the agent hands back before you add it. Once an agent is on your team, Nox passes it the work that fits, so you keep talking to one agent and the right one does the job.

#Why ready-made agents are hard to trust

An agent store has the same problem as any app store, only sharper. An app does what its screenshots show. An agent does what its instructions say, and those are usually hidden behind a name and one line. "Sales assistant" could mean a researcher, a cold-email cannon or a spreadsheet tidier.

There's a second problem once you have a few. Each agent becomes another chat to remember. If you have to think "which of my agents does invoices?" before you ask for anything, the agents are working for each other, not for you.

So we set ourselves two rules for the marketplace:

1. Nothing hidden. Before you add an agent, you see everything it would bring, word for word: its job, its skills, its routines, the notes it starts with, and an example of what it hands back.
2. One conversation. Added agents join one team. You talk to Nox, and Nox passes each task to whoever's job it fits.

#What's in the marketplace

Open Marketplace from the account menu. There are 104 agents on ten shelves: engineering, sales, marketing, design, product, operations, recruiting and people, money, research and personal.

At the top, featured agents take turns. Each one's face acts out its job while the work it hands back types out beside it, so you see the result before the description.

Below that, each shelf is one row. Point at a card and it shows the first lines of what that agent hands back; the arrows scroll the row, and All opens the whole shelf. Search looks through names, descriptions and the apps each agent uses. If nothing fits, describe what you need to Nox and it can make you an agent.

A few of the agents, to give a sense of the range:

#What a listing shows before you add it

Open any card for the full listing. It's long on purpose, because everything on it becomes the new agent's own instructions:

• The job, in the agent's words: what it's for and how it works.
• What it hands back: an example of a real run's result. For Inbox keeper, that's the needs-you list, the drafts waiting for approval, a count of what can wait and the newsletters you never open.
• Its skills: each step-by-step procedure, in full. You can read exactly how Competitor watcher decides what counts as news.
• Its routines: what it does on a schedule, and when.
• Notes it starts with: how it likes to report, what it never does.
• Apps it uses, with which you've already connected and a Connect button for the rest.
• Before you add it: four plain lines on what it will and won't do.

The listing also says who wrote it. nox.cool wrote the 104 listed today. People can share agents they've made too; those are listed only after nox.cool's automatic check and team have read them. An agent shared by link but not listed says so in plain words: nobody at nox.cool has read it, so read its steps first.

The listing is the agent. Nothing it does is hidden behind its name.

#What happens when you add one

Tap Add Inbox keeper to my team (or whichever agent it is). You can rename it first. Then:

1. It joins your team with its own computer, its own memory, its job, its skills and its starting notes.
2. Its routines arrive paused, set to your time zone. Open Routines and turn on the ones you want, when you want.
3. You connect its apps, if it needs any you haven't connected. Until then, it tells you what it's missing instead of guessing.
4. It starts with none of your other agents' logins, memory, files, wallets or mail. It sees a few shared notes about you, like your preferences, and nothing else until you connect it.

If the listing improves later, the agent's page offers the new version and lists what changed. Nothing updates on its own.

#How added agents work with Nox

This is the part people ask about most. You don't have to manage a list of chats. There are four ways work reaches an added agent, and you only need the first.

#Nox passes the task to the right agent

Keep talking to Nox. When you give it a task that clearly fits one of your agents' jobs, Nox hands it over before starting. The chat says so: "Nox passed this to Inbox keeper", with the reason. If you'd rather Nox did it, tap Keep it with Nox and it moves back.

Nox only passes work that squarely fits another agent's job. A one-off question stays with Nox. You can turn hand-offs off on the Agents page ("Nox passes tasks to the right agent").

#Agents ask each other for help

Inside a task, an agent can hand part of the work to a teammate. Nox might be planning a product launch and ask Competitor watcher for last month's competitor launches. The teammate works on its own computer, in a task of its own, and its report comes back into Nox's task when it's done. Both carry on meanwhile.

#Talk to one by name

Start a message with @ and the agent's name ("@Inbox keeper what came in from suppliers this week?") and it goes straight to that agent. Every agent also has its own place in the sidebar with its chat, tasks, routines and memory.

#Group chats

Put several agents in one chat for work that needs more than one of them. The chat's lead hands out the parts, members post as they finish, and @name reaches one member directly.

#You can see what each agent is doing

With several agents working at once, you need to know who's doing what without opening every task. So every agent's face now acts out the step it's on. There are sixteen expressions: searching sweeps its eyes across the results, reading moves them line by line, writing looks down and taps along, code gets a squint, and waiting for you tilts its head. Each change happens behind a blink.

The same face acts wherever the agent appears: the task, the job card in your chat with Nox, the sidebar, the home screen and the marketplace. A glance down the sidebar tells you one agent is writing, another is waiting on you, and a third is asleep.

#A morning with a team

Here's what it looks like with three marketplace agents added to Nox: Inbox keeper, Meeting prep and Competitor watcher.

At 7:30, Meeting prep's routine briefs you on the day's two calls. At 8:00, Inbox keeper sorts the night's email: three need you, four replies are drafted, 27 can wait. Each draft waits on a card. You approve two and edit one.

Then Nox's morning look arrives. If you've connected business apps, it now reads them too: payments, banking, sales, marketing, search and product analytics. It leads with what changed. Three card payments failed overnight, so its first idea is "Chase the 3 failed Stripe payments", ready to start with one tap.

You tap it. Nox drafts a short, friendly email to each customer with a link to update their card, and shows you the emails before sending anything. Meanwhile you ask Nox what competitors launched this week. That fits Competitor watcher's job, so Nox passes it over and says why. Four agents, one conversation.

#What keeps you safe

• Nothing is hidden. Every listing shows its job, skills, routines and starting notes word for word before you add it.
• Every agent asks first. Sending, posting, paying, booking and deleting wait on a card you approve, unless you've made a rule for it.
• Routines arrive paused. Nothing runs on a schedule until you turn it on.
• New agents start empty. No logins, memory, files, wallets or mail from your other agents. You connect each app yourself.
• Shared listings are read first. An agent someone else made is listed only after an automatic check and a person at nox.cool have read it.
• One spending limit. Every agent's tasks come out of the same daily limit, and each task shows what it cost.
• The business-app checks only read. At most ten checks a morning, nothing is changed, and Settings › Suggestions turns them off.

#Try it

Sign in to nox.cool, open Marketplace from the account menu, and add one agent whose job you'd hand to a colleague today. Then ask Nox for that kind of work and watch it pass the task along. The short version is in the announcement.

#Questions and answers

What is an AI agent marketplace?

A place to find AI agents that are already set up for a job, so you don't have to write their instructions yourself. On nox.cool, each listing is a complete agent: a job, skills (step-by-step procedures), routines on a schedule, and the apps it works with. You add it to your team in one tap.

How many agents are in the nox.cool marketplace?

104 today, on ten shelves: engineering, sales, marketing, design, product, operations, recruiting and people, money, research and personal. Some sit on two shelves. People can also share agents they've made; a shared agent is listed only after nox.cool's automatic check and team have read it.

When I add an agent, do I have to talk to it separately?

No. Keep talking to Nox. When a new task clearly fits one of your agents' jobs, Nox hands it over and the chat says so, with the reason and a Keep it with Nox button. You can also open the agent in the sidebar, or start a message with @ and its name.

Does an added agent see my other agents' logins or memory?

No. It starts with its own memory and its listing's starting notes. It gets no logins, memory, files, wallets or mail from your other agents; you connect the apps it needs yourself. A few shared notes about you, such as your preferences, are visible to all your agents.

Will a marketplace agent act without asking me?

No. Like every agent on nox.cool, it asks on a card before anything that matters: sending, posting, paying, booking or deleting. Its routines arrive paused, so nothing runs on a schedule until you turn it on.

What does it cost to add an agent from the marketplace?

Adding one is free. Its tasks are paid for like any other task on your account, from the same daily spending limit, and each task shows its cost.
