These best practices help you get the most value from Nexus while staying in control of your tools and data. You don’t need to be technical — small habits make a big difference.
#1 Connect only the tools you actually use
Start by connecting the tools you rely on most.
- This keeps results focused and relevant
- It’s easier to understand where answers are coming from
- You can always add more tools later
If a tool isn’t helping, you can remove it anytime.
#2 Review your connected tools regularly
It’s a good idea to occasionally check which tools Nexus has access to.
- Remove tools you no longer use
- Reconnect tools if access has changed
- Keep permissions up to date
A quick review helps keep things tidy and secure.
#3 Be clear when you ask for help
Nexus works best when your request is specific. Clear requests lead to clearer results. Instead of:
- “What’s going on?”
Try:
- “What changed this week across my connected tools?”
- “Summarize recent updates related to this project.”
- “Find documents about onboarding.”
#4 Start simple, then go deeper
If you’re new to Nexus, begin with basic tasks. Good starting points:
- Finding information
- Summarizing documents or conversations
- Getting highlights or updates
Once you’re comfortable, try asking for insights, comparisons, or patterns.
#5 Use Nexus for insights, not just answers
Nexus can help you understand what’s happening, not just show you data. Try asking:
- “What themes keep coming up?”
- “What changed compared to last week?”
- “Is there anything unusual I should look at?”
#6 Keep permissions in mind
Nexus can only work within the permissions you approve.
- If Nexus can’t access something, it may need permission
- If you remove access, related requests will stop working
- You’re always in control of what Nexus can do
#7 Clean up when you’re done
If you connected a tool for a one-time task or test, disconnect it when you’re finished. You can reconnect it anytime. This helps:
- Reduce clutter
- Limit unnecessary access
- Keep your setup simple
#8 When in doubt, ask Nexus
You don’t need special commands or perfect wording. Nexus is designed to work in plain language:
- Ask Nexus what it can help with
- Ask it to explain or rephrase results
- Try a follow-up question
