Sites, games, videos you can edit, and more

Key points

• Sites: Nox puts a website, dashboard or small app it built online at its own address, after you approve a preview. Every version is kept.
• A site can keep sign-ups, RSVPs and visitors' accounts with no server of its own, and can move to a domain you already own.
• Games play right in the chat, with a tweak panel made for each game. Put one online and it counts plays and keeps high scores.
• Videos come back as a timeline: reorder, trim, swap a shot, change a caption, then make it again or ask Nox for another pass.
• Also new: research side by side, plan first, try another way, a cost estimate before you start, and tasks shared as replays.

nox.cool now puts what Nox builds online. Ask for a website, a small app or a game, and after you approve a preview it lives at its own address. Nox also makes videos you can edit on a timeline, researches many things side by side, and tells you roughly what a task will cost before it starts. Everything below is available today in nox.cool's early access.

#Sites: what Nox builds, live at its own address

Ask "make a page for my dinner party and put it live". Nox builds it on its own computer, then shows a card with a private preview. Approve it, and exactly that copy goes live. Publishing again makes a new version, and the last ten are kept so you can put one back.

A site can keep things without a server of its own: RSVPs, a waitlist, sign-ups, visitors' accounts and their uploads. You choose who may add, read and change each list, and Sites shows it as a table you can fix or download. A site can also move to a domain you already own, and you can point at any part of a page to have just that part changed.

#Games you play in the chat

Ask "make me a little arcade game". It plays right in the chat, and Tweak opens a panel made for that game: speed, gravity, how many enemies, colours. Changes play instantly, and Keep these settings makes them what every player starts with. Put it online gives it a link that counts plays and keeps high scores.

#Videos you can edit

Ask for a video from your clips and pictures, such as a 15-second reel with captions and music. Press Edit under it: drag shots into order, trim one, swap it for other footage, change a caption, or pick wide, tall or square. Make the video gives you a new version, and Ask for another pass hands your edits back to Nox, which is told exactly what you changed.

#Research side by side

Say "compare these six tools side by side". Nox gives each item to its own helper, eight at a time, and one table fills in as rows arrive, with every row's sources. It's sortable, comes back to Nox to recommend from, and lands in Documents as a spreadsheet.

#Plan first, try another way, and the cost up front

Switch on Plan first under the message box (or start with "/plan"). Nox only looks things up, then shows a plan you can rewrite before saying go. While you type, a quiet line says roughly what the task will cost, from what similar tasks really cost. And Try another way from here under any finished reply starts a copy of the task from that point.

#Share a task as a replay

The clapperboard at the top of a task makes a link anyone can watch: your request, what Nox did step by step, and the result. Logins, cards, email, your Mac, memory and wallets are always left out.

#Also new

• Automations can start from a new post in an RSS feed or an event in a connected app, with a Test run and a log of what they skipped.
• Projects have a Files & instructions tab that every task in the project reads.
• Watch your Mac from your phone while Nox uses your Mac's apps (nox.cool for Mac updates itself).
• A new New agent window, with the ready-made agents beside it.

#Try it

Ask Nox for a site, a game or a video, or compare a few things side by side. Sign in to nox.cool to start, and read how Nox builds and hosts sites and games.

#Questions and answers

How do I put a site Nox built online?

Ask Nox to build it and put it live. When it's ready, Nox shows a card with a private preview. Approve it and that exact copy goes live at its own address. Library › Sites lists every site, its versions (the last ten are kept), and lets you take one offline or download the code.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, a domain you already own. Sites shows two DNS records to add at your registrar, and nox.cool connects the domain once they're in place. nox.cool never buys or registers a domain for you; it stays in your name.

Can Nox make a game I can share?

Yes. Ask for one and it plays in the chat straight away, with a tweak panel for the settings the game offers. Keep the settings you like, then press Put it online to get a link with a play count and high scores.

Can I change a video Nox made?

Yes. Press Edit under the video to open its timeline: drag shots into order, trim one, swap it for other footage, change a caption or turn the music down. Make the video gives you a new version, and every version stays in your Documents.

Where can I try all this?

Everything here is available today in nox.cool's early access, which is by invite for now.
