Local execution

Build with AI.
Skip the API bill.

Nexus Platforms gives teams a lower-cost way to use AI at full power. The [Q] Chrome Extension works directly inside browser AI experiences, while Nexus Control Core on Windows or the [Q] macOS App turns that output into local files, commands, downloads, project scaffolds, scrapers, and working software.

That means startups can move faster without getting crushed by API costs, and larger companies can scale AI workflows without watching token spend grow every month. When the browser already gives you the intelligence layer, [Q] turns it into execution.

Open Startup Builder Run it by [Q]
For startups Launch more ideas, test faster, and preserve runway instead of burning budget on infrastructure.
For enterprise Shift repeatable AI work out of expensive API-heavy paths and into scalable browser-driven workflows.
For builders Move from prompt to project with local files, shell commands, workflows, downloads, and generated code.
How to use

Install. Connect. Build for free.

The flow is simple: install the native app, download the extension, then start building with the Startup Builder. From there, [Q] handles the bridge between browser AI and your local environment.

1

Install the native app

Install the native app so [Q] can connect browser AI to local files, commands, downloads, and build tools.

Download Native App

Build for Free

Open Startup Builder, pick a startup concept improved by [Q], and start building software with a browser-first AI workflow instead of a token-metered API stack.

Open Startup Builder
Nexus Platforms workspace scene
A real desktop workflow, not just another chat box. Nexus Platforms is built around a practical idea: browser AI can already do the thinking, and your local machine can already do the work. [Q] connects the two so software, files, automations, and output can move from the web into a real working environment.
Why this model works

From idea to working software in minutes for free.

RunItByQ starts with your idea. Startup Builder starts with harvested startup concepts that have already been sharpened by [Q]. In both cases, the result is the same: a more practical path from concept to execution.

That matters because the common failure mode in AI products is not capability. It is cost. Teams get excited, ship a demo, then realize the operating model gets more expensive as usage grows. Nexus Platforms was built to break that pattern by giving you a browser-first execution path with no API cost for basic usage.

Build anything you can define Web apps, internal tools, startup MVPs, dashboards, scrapers, landing pages, media workflows, and iOS product concepts.
Replace workflow cost with workflow leverage Use the AI access people already have in the browser before paying for a large API-based automation stack.
Scale without the token ceiling [Q] is designed for larger structured prompt sets, larger manifests, and more ambitious builds without treating every action like a meter running in the background.

[Q] connected status screen
When the service is connected, the workflow is live. This is the bridge in action: [Q] Chrome is talking to the native backend, the local environment is available, and ideas can move from browser AI into files, prompts, commands, and production work.
Savings model

Estimate the cost you avoid.

The more often a team repeats the same AI-heavy workflow, the more the billing model matters. Nexus Platforms was designed to move that cost curve in a better direction.

$2,000/mo

Estimated monthly cost exposure avoided by moving repeatable browser-friendly AI workflows away from a token-metered API path.

$24,000 estimated annual runway preserved.

For startups, that can mean more time to iterate before fundraising pressure. For enterprise teams, it can mean meaningful savings when AI usage scales across departments.

Trust and control

Keep the execution layer close to the work.

Nexus Platforms is not trying to hide what happens. It is built around visible browser workflows, local connectivity, and a machine you control.

Local backend

Nexus Control Core and the [Q] macOS App run on your machine and give [Q] a real working environment for file operations, commands, downloads, and builds.

Visible browser workflows

[Q] works through browser interfaces you can see, inspect, and understand rather than turning everything into an invisible API call.

Better control at scale

Teams can design guardrails around local folders, project paths, logs, and reviewable execution steps as usage expands.

The Nexus Platforms collection
