Introduction: One Agent, 500+ Skills

Most people who want to automate their work end up with a patchwork of tools: one app for email, another for scheduling, a browser extension for social media, a spreadsheet plugin for data, and a separate service for each integration. Each tool has its own login, its own learning curve, its own pricing tier, and its own data silo. Before you know it, managing your automation tools has become its own full-time job.

Nemo takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of separate tools for separate tasks, Nemo is a single AI agent with 500+ built-in skills spanning 12 categories. You interact with all of them through the same interface: natural language. Tell Nemo what you want, and it figures out which skills and tools to use, in what order, adapting its approach based on the results of each step.

No workflow builders. No drag-and-drop canvases. No trigger-action configuration. You describe the outcome, and the agent handles the process. This guide walks through every category of skills available in Nemo, with concrete examples of what you can ask the agent to do.

One important note: Nemo currently ships with 5 fully built and tested skills (email_triage, email_composer, doc_summarizer, form_filler, and app_launcher). The remaining 117 skills are defined in the catalog with complete specifications and are being implemented progressively through updates and the community marketplace. We include the full catalog here so you can see the complete vision and plan.

Email & Communication

Email remains the backbone of professional communication, and it is also one of the biggest time sinks. Nemo's email and communication skills are designed to automate the tedious parts while keeping you in control of the important decisions.

Documents & Writing

Document processing is one of Nemo's strongest areas because it can run entirely locally — no data leaves your machine. Whether you are summarizing research papers, building resumes, or generating citations, these skills handle documents of all formats.

Finance & Tracking

Managing personal and small business finances involves repetitive data entry, categorization, and tracking that is perfectly suited for AI automation. These skills help you stay on top of expenses, invoices, investments, and budgets without manual spreadsheet work.

Scheduling & Planning

Time management and planning skills help you coordinate calendars, track habits, plan trips, and stay organized without constantly context-switching between apps.

Development & Code

Developer productivity skills help programmers automate routine coding tasks, review code, test APIs, manage snippets, and streamline their development workflow.

Social Media

Social media management is time-consuming but important for personal brands and businesses. Nemo's social skills handle scheduling, analytics, and content creation through the Chrome extension relay — no dedicated OAuth integrations needed.

Research & Learning

Information gathering and learning are core use cases for AI agents. These skills help you research topics, summarize videos and podcasts, take study notes, and build knowledge bases.

Data & Productivity

Data manipulation and productivity skills handle the everyday tasks of cleaning data, translating text, creating diagrams, and managing information across formats.

Health & Life

Personal health and wellness skills help you track medications, monitor symptoms, plan nutrition, and maintain fitness routines. All health data stays on your local machine — never uploaded to any cloud server.

Example commands

Creative

Creative skills assist with design tasks that do not require deep expertise but benefit from AI suggestions and automation. These are particularly useful for non-designers who need to make design decisions.

System & Integration

System and integration skills connect Nemo to your existing tools and file systems. These are the glue skills that bridge gaps between applications and automate system-level tasks.

Conclusion

The difference between Nemo and traditional automation tools becomes clear when you look at the full picture. With conventional platforms, achieving the breadth of automation described in this guide would require subscribing to dozens of separate services: an email tool, a calendar tool, a social media scheduler, a finance tracker, a document processor, a code reviewer, and so on. Each with its own monthly fee, its own learning curve, and its own data silo.

Nemo consolidates all of this into a single agent that runs locally on your machine. You interact with all 500+ skills through the same chat interface, using the same natural language you would use to ask a colleague for help. The AI agent handles the complexity of selecting the right tools, chaining them together, and adapting to your specific situation.

The local-first architecture means your data never leaves your machine unless you explicitly tell a skill to communicate with an external service. Your emails, documents, financial data, health information, and credentials all stay on your hardware, protected by AES-256 encryption in the vault and monitored by the Sentinel safety layer.

With 5 skills fully built and tested, 117 more in active development, and a community marketplace where anyone can contribute, Nemo's skill library is growing rapidly. The goal is simple: one agent that can help with anything a personal assistant could, with the privacy guarantees that only local-first software can provide.

You do not need 500+ separate tools. You need one agent that understands 500+ different ways to help you.

One agent. 500+ skills. Your data stays yours.

Free forever. Runs locally. No workflow building required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all 500+ skills work right now?
Nemo ships with 5 fully built and tested skills: email_triage, email_composer, doc_summarizer, form_filler, and app_launcher. The remaining skills are defined in the skill catalog with complete specifications, tool schemas, and safety configurations. They are being implemented progressively, with new skills shipping in updates every few weeks. The Skill Marketplace also allows community developers to build and publish skills, accelerating the rollout beyond what the core team alone could deliver.
Can I use skills with voice commands?
Nemo's primary interface is text-based chat, where you type natural language commands. Voice input is on the roadmap but not yet implemented as a built-in feature. However, you can use your operating system's built-in voice-to-text (Windows Speech Recognition or macOS Dictation) to dictate commands into Nemo's chat input. The AI agent processes the text the same way regardless of how it was entered.
Which skills work offline?
Skills that do not require external API calls work fully offline when using Ollama as your LLM provider. This includes document summarization, desktop automation (app_launcher), form filling on local pages, file management, clipboard operations, text translation (with local models), and any skill that processes local data. Skills that inherently require internet access — such as email triage (needs Gmail API), social media scheduling (needs platform APIs), and web research — cannot work offline. Approximately 30-40% of Nemo's skills can operate in fully offline mode.
Can I create my own custom skills?
Yes. Nemo's skill architecture is designed for extensibility. You create a Python directory under nemo-core/skills/ with an __init__.py exposing TOOLS (async handler functions), TOOL_SCHEMAS (OpenAI function-calling format), CREDENTIAL_MAP (vault credential injection), and SYSTEM_PROMPT (LLM context). Add a skill.json for runtime metadata, deploy to ~/.nemo/skills/, and your skill is available to the agent. You can also publish your skills to the Nemo Marketplace for other users to discover and install.
How are skills different from Zapier Zaps?
Zapier Zaps are fixed workflows where you manually define every step: when this trigger fires, do this action, then this action, in this exact order. Skills in Nemo are tool collections that an AI agent uses dynamically. You describe what you want in natural language, and the agent decides which skills and tools to use, in what order, adapting its approach based on intermediate results. A single Nemo skill can be used in countless different ways depending on context, while a Zap always runs the same predefined sequence. Skills also run locally on your machine with full privacy, while Zaps execute on Zapier's cloud servers.
