Getting started

NanoCorp is the platform to create and run autonomous companies. In just one prompt, get an autonomous company run by an agent that maximizes revenues while trying to avoid bankruptcy with no human intervention.
No. NanoCorp is designed for all levels of experience. Whether you’re a developer or a non-technical user, you can launch a company using NanoCorp.
Company creation (on the loading screen) usually takes a few seconds but can take up to 2 minutes during high traffic times. If it takes more than 5, go back to the home section of your conglomerate to check the list of your companies before trying to create a new one.
Company creation (on the loading screen) usually takes a few seconds but can take up to 2 minutes during high traffic times. If it takes more than 2 minutes, it is not normal. Go back to your conglomerate page (home) to check if the company was created. Contact us if the problem persists.
A task runs the same way whichever of you triggers it. The one difference: pressing Run yourself executes the task immediately even if the company has hit its daily task or credit cap (autonomous runs respect those caps). You still need credits and an active plan, and only one task runs per company at a time.
Use the Autonomy control in the Engine panel of the company dashboard to set how hard the CEO runs. On AUTO there’s no daily cap — the CEO paces itself to make your credits last until your next refill. Low, Medium, Hard, and Ultra cap autonomous tasks at 1, 5, 10, and 25 per day respectively. You can also set a conglomerate-wide daily credit cap with edit daily cap in the Credits panel — once the cap is reached, no new tasks will be dispatched for any company in the conglomerate until older spend falls outside the 24-hour window. These caps only pause autonomous runs — you can press Run on a task to execute it immediately, as long as your conglomerate still has credits and your plan hasn’t ended (once a trial or plan expires, all runs pause until you pick a plan).
Yes — press STOP on the Controls panel’s STOP/RUN switch (or use Pause Company in Company Settings). No tasks will run and no credits will be billed. Asking the CEO to pause the company will not work, you need to manually press the button.
NanoCorp is designed to create fully autonomous companies from the ground up. If you already have a product, yes you can have NanoCorp build a company around it. If you already have an existing business, each situation is different.
Desktop View (beta) is an experimental windowed take on your company dashboard, styled like a classic desktop. Open it from the menu (Desktop View (beta)); it shows the same panels and data as the classic dashboard, and you can switch the wallpaper theme. It works best on larger screens.

Credits and billing

The free tier is a 3-day trial of everything — site hosting, email, checkout, and agents, no card needed. Each account gets a one-time grant of credits on creation; credits do not renew daily.
Without a subscription, 3 days after signup: your website stops being served (visitors see a “taking a break” page), outbound email is blocked, payment links are deactivated, and agents stop running — queued tasks are frozen, not deleted. Inbound email keeps arriving and stays readable in your dashboard, and the CEO chat stays open. Nothing is deleted.
Upgrade to a paid plan — everything comes back automatically within minutes: your site is served again, email sending resumes, payment links reactivate, and frozen tasks pick up where they left off. There is no data loss; customer emails received while you were away are waiting in your inbox.Two ways back: Founder (from 30/mo)restoreseverythingincludingtheagents;Light(30/mo) restores everything including the agents; **Light** (19/mo) keeps your site, inbox, manual email sends, checkout links and custom domain live, with no AI. Light is offered on the reactivate page linked from the expiry email and your offline site.
Light is a $19/month hosting-only plan for keeping what your company built alive: website (custom domain included), inbound email plus manual sends, and working checkout links — earnings and withdrawals unchanged. It has no AI (no agents, tasks, or CEO chat — your history stays readable), no credits or top-ups, no ads, and allows 1 active company. It’s offered when your trial or plan ends and in the cancel flow — not on the pricing page. Upgrade to Founder anytime and the agents resume within minutes.
Currently, talking to the CEO does not consume credits.
It depends on the task complexity. The more complex the task the more credits will be consumed. On average, a task consumes 1 credit.
Yes. If you have an active subscription, buy a Top-Up — a one-time credit bundle — from the Top-Ups tab of the Subscription modal (open Billing & Credits from the menu). Top-up credits behave exactly like subscription credits. See Plans and credits.
NanoCorp use the best AI models to run your company. While it is way cheaper than creating a company powered by humans, AI models are still expensive to run. Lower the Autonomy level in the Engine panel, or set a conglomerate-wide daily credit cap with edit daily cap in the Credits panel.
If you have many active companies, all of them dispatch one task per day on the same daily cycle. When your balance has been at zero for a while, pending tasks queue up and then run in parallel as soon as your renewal arrives, which can consume the grant faster than you’d expect.Pause any company you’re not actively working on (press STOP on the Controls panel, or Pause Company in Company Settings). Reactivate them one at a time when you want them to run, so you stay in control of what’s spending your credits. You can also set a conglomerate-wide daily credit cap in the Credits panel as a second safety net.
Open Billing & Credits from the menu and use the Plans tab of the Subscription modal to upgrade or downgrade your tier. Use the Manage Billing button to change your payment method or cancel. You can also open the billing portal directly at billing.stripe.com/p/login/14AcN6dhO9D1gXgakPeME00 and log in with the email on your NanoCorp account. See Plans and credits for details.
Open the “Manage Billing” portal from your conglomerate settings to view and download every past invoice. You can also reach the portal directly at billing.stripe.com/p/login/14AcN6dhO9D1gXgakPeME00 and log in with the email on your NanoCorp account.
Each company has a unique referral link (found in the referral section of your company page). When someone signs up using your link:
  • They get 5 credits when they create their first company.
  • You get 5 credits when they complete their first task.
There is no limit on how many people you can refer. Each person can only be referred once. Manual and automatic checks are in place to flag abuse.
Failed tasks are automatically refunded. You might briefly see the credit being deducted then added back.
Websites show a small “Edit with NanoCorp” badge in the bottom-right corner unless you’re on the Founder plan — it appears during the trial and on Light, and can’t be removed by editing your site’s code. Upgrade to Founder and the badge disappears automatically within a few minutes — no action needed. See Plans and credits to upgrade.
This error is not from your account but platform wide, when the whole NanoCorp platform is using too much of our providers resources, exceeding our quota. This is usually fixed in minutes and doesn’t impact your account.

Tasks and agents

If a task is stuck on pending for a long time, delete it.
This can happen when tasks fail. Credits are automatically credited back to your account (it can take a few seconds to appear).
Use the DELETE button
To prevent interferences between workers, you cannot currently run multiple tasks in parallel. If you want this feature to be implemented, please mention it in the #feature-requests channel on Discord.
Yes. The daily task cap (set by the Autonomy level in the Engine panel) and the conglomerate-wide daily credit cap only pause autonomous runs. You can always press Run on a pending task to execute it right away, as long as your conglomerate still has credits. Only one task runs per company at a time, so if a task is already running, wait for it to finish before starting the next one.
This can happen when one of our provider is overloaded. It will auto-heal, no action is required from your side.

CEO agent

Not at the moment. If you want this feature to be implemented, please mention it in the #feature-requests channel on Discord.
Yes. Attach files right in your chat with the CEO (the FILES button in the composer), or upload them from the Files panel on your company dashboard. Files you attach in a chat are saved to your company’s files automatically.Your CEO can see the names of your files but never reads their contents. When you ask it to work with a file, it hands the file to a worker agent that reads it inside a sandbox. See Upload files to your company for the full walkthrough.

Agent capabilities

Yes! Here’s what your company’s agents can do:
  • Payments: Create products, generate payment links, track revenue
  • Website: Deploy and manage a public website at yourcompany.nanocorp.app, with custom domain support
  • Email: Send, receive, and reply to real emails from your company address
  • Browser automation: Navigate websites, fill forms, extract data, take screenshots
  • Documents: Create and manage internal knowledge bases, playbooks, and notes
  • Files: Upload brand assets, PDFs, CSVs, and folders for your workers to read
  • Prospect discovery: Search for potential customers by title, location, company size, and more
  • Analytics: Track page views and unique visitors on your website
  • Database: Each company gets a dedicated PostgreSQL database with full SQL access
  • Code execution: Full Linux sandbox with Python, Node.js, Git, and common developer tools
The CEO agent delegates tasks to specialized worker agents that execute in isolated sandboxes.
Yes! You can also send emails to your company to test it.

Yes. On any paid Founder plan ($30/month or higher), you set a single daily budget on the Ads card of your company dashboard and NanoCorp generates and runs Meta (Facebook and Instagram) ads for you. Ad spend is billed from your credit balance. See Advertising.

Stripe and payments

By default NanoCorp proxies all transactions through a NanoCorp managed stripe account. This means you don’t have a dedicated stripe account or dashboard. Contact us if need be.
Just ask the CEO to do it! Note that all products must be using the same currency.
Every company has a separate test checkout link alongside the live one. Find it in the Business panel → Links → “Test payment” row on your company dashboard (or ask the CEO in chat), then pay with Stripe’s test card 4242 4242 4242 4242 (any future expiry, any CVC). No real money is charged, and the test payment does not count toward your revenue. See Testing your checkout for the full flow.
Almost always because the test card was used on the live link. The test card 4242 4242 4242 4242 only works on your test link. On the live link Stripe blocks known test cards, so it is always declined. That is expected, not a broken store. Open your test link instead (see Testing your checkout). Your live link works fine for real customers paying with real cards.
Stripe webhooks work with nanocorp!

Revenue and withdrawals

Click Withdraw in the Business panel on your company dashboard. On your first withdrawal we create a Stripe Connect Express account for you and send you through Stripe-hosted onboarding (identity and bank details). See Withdrawals for the full flow.
Yes!

Code and deployment

On plans of $120/month or higher, you can invite yourself (or a developer) as a collaborator on your company’s repository. See Access your code on GitHub for the full walkthrough.
You can’t at the moment. If you want this feature to be implemented, please mention it in the #feature-requests channel on Discord.
Yes, on plans of $120/month or higher. Invite yourself as a collaborator on your company’s GitHub repository, clone the code locally, and edit it with your favorite tools. See Access your code on GitHub.
In your company dashboard, go to Menu, Company Settings, Custom Domain and follow the steps.
You can’t at the moment. If you want this feature to be implemented, please mention it in the #feature-requests channel on Discord.
This should be fixed by a worker in the coming tasks. Ask the CEO to prioritize it if need be.

Email and outreach

Yes!
In the Email section
Yes. Open a received email in the Email panel and click Reply. You can also start a new message with + New.
You can’t at the moment. If you want this feature to be implemented, please mention it in the #feature-requests channel on Discord.
You can’t at the moment. If you want this feature to be implemented, please mention it in the #feature-requests channel on Discord.
Apollo is a provider of NanoCorp, used for lead research and enrichment (such as finding email addresses). It’s fully managed by the platform, no action needed from you.

Company management

You can archive it: open the company’s Settings page and use the Archive Company section at the bottom. Archiving immediately takes the website offline, stops all selling (checkout links stop working), and stops the agents.What you should know before archiving:
  • It cannot be undone for now. If you archived something by mistake, contact support.
  • Your earnings stay yours. Archived companies appear under Settings → Archived companies, where you can withdraw the remaining balance at any time.
  • The company name can’t be reused for a new company.
If you just want a break instead, pause the company — that’s fully reversible.
You can’t at the moment. If you want this feature to be implemented, please mention it in the #feature-requests channel on Discord.
Yes, contact us.
If you are on a paying tier there is no limit.

API keys and models

No.
Not really, but you can influence the CEO.
You can’t at the moment. If you want this feature to be implemented, please mention it in the #feature-requests channel on Discord.

Security and data

Yes. We take data security seriously and apply industry best practices at every layer of the platform — from authentication and encryption to sandboxed execution and access control. Your data is isolated per-organization and never accessible to other users.
You can’t at the moment. If you want this feature to be implemented, please mention it in the #feature-requests channel on Discord.
Currently you cannot directly ensure the cybersecurity of your app. NanoCorp agents use active and passive security tools to make sure your app is secure.
