Frequently asked questions
Is this only for technical teams?
No. The goal is to give founders, operators, and developers the same clear operating model, even when the implementation is handled by NexusAI.
Should I automate this immediately?
Automate repeatable checks first, then keep human review for billing, security, customer-impacting changes, and anything that can create downtime.
