# What is Noxus?

> Understanding Noxus concepts, platform, and infrastructure

## What is Noxus?

Noxus is a comprehensive **AI platform** that brings together **Flows**, **Agents**, and **Knowledge Bases** to create powerful AI-driven solutions.

Whether you're a startup moving fast or an enterprise with strict security requirements, Noxus provides the infrastructure, tools, and interfaces needed to build, deploy, and manage AI applications at scale. All in one integrated system.

**<Icon icon="blocks" /> For Builders** <br />
Create sophisticated automations using a visual interface or code

**<Icon icon="building" /> For Enterprises** <br />Deploy on your infrastructure with complete data control and compliance support

**<Icon icon="code" /> For Developers** <br />Integrate via Python SDK, REST API, or extend with custom plugins

***

## Why Noxus?

**Complete Platform** - Everything you need to build, deploy, and manage AI applications in one integrated system.

**Deployment Flexibility** - Run on our cloud, your infrastructure, or hybrid. Your choice, your control.

**Enterprise Ready** - Built for scale with worker pools, GPU support, SSO, audit logs, and compliance features.

**Developer Friendly** - Multiple integration paths (visual, SDK, API) with comprehensive documentation.

**Open Architecture** - Extend with custom plugins, integrate with any system, deploy on any infrastructure.

## Core Concepts

The Noxus platform is organized into distinct layers that work together to enable AI automation at scale.

### Organization & Access

Organize teams, manage access, and structure your work:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Workspaces" icon="boxes" href="/core/concepts/workspaces">
    Isolated environments with independent resources, settings, and access controls. Organize by team, project, or client.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Users" icon="user" href="/core/concepts/users">
    Team members with role-based permissions. Control who can access, create, edit, or administer AI resources.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### AI Tools

Building blocks for AI-powered automation. Compose these to create complex agentic flows, multi-agent environments, and sophisticated AI systems:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Flows" icon="workflow" href="/core/concepts/flows">
    Visual automation combining AI, data processing, and business logic through connected nodes.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Agents" icon="bot-message-square" href="/core/concepts/agents">
    Conversational AI that uses tools, searches knowledge, and executes other tools autonomously.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Knowledge Bases" icon="folder" href="/core/concepts/knowledge-bases">
    Semantic search powered by your documents and data. Give AI access to proprietary knowledge.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  **Analytics & Governance:** All AI tools include comprehensive analytics, observability, and evaluations. Control safety guardrails, governance policies, and compliance at the organization level.
</Note>

### How Concepts Work Together

**Example workflow:**

1. Create a **Workspace** and invite **Users** with appropriate roles
2. Configure **Models & Providers** for AI access
3. Upload documents to **Knowledge Bases** for semantic search
4. Build **Flows** using visual nodes or code
5. Deploy **Agents** that search knowledge and execute flows
6. Runs execute on **Worker Pools** with isolated compute and monitoring

  <Tab title="Visual Platform">
    Drag-and-drop flow builder, agent configuration, and real-time monitoring. Build sophisticated automations without writing code.

    **Key features:**

    * Visual node-based workflow builder
    * Real-time execution monitoring and debugging
    * Agent configuration with tools and knowledge bases
    * Knowledge base document management
    * Team collaboration with role-based access

    </Card>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    Full-featured SDK for building AI-powered applications programmatically. Integrate Noxus into your Python applications.

    ```python theme={null}
    from noxus_sdk.client import Client

    client = Client(api_key="your_api_key")

    # Run a flow
    result = client.flows.run(
        flow_id="wf_123",
        inputs={"query": "Analyze this data"}
    )

    # Chat with an agent
    conversation = client.conversations.create(agent_id="agent_456")
    response = conversation.chat("What's our revenue this quarter?")
    ```

      Explore the Python SDK documentation
    </Card>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="REST API">
    Language-agnostic HTTP API for any platform or language. Access all Noxus features via standard REST endpoints.

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -X POST https://api.noxus.ai/v1/flows/wf_123/run \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer ${API_KEY}" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"inputs": {"query": "Process this request"}}'
    ```

    **Available endpoints:**

    * Workflows and runs
    * Conversations and agents
    * Knowledge bases and documents
    * User and workspace management
