An AI Chief of Staff for the work that’s nobody’s job.
Every operator has work that falls between roles and tools, the handoffs nobody owns. When you’re the whole team, that’s all of it. Nerve puts an agent on those loops and runs them to done, so the work you’d have to hire for is handled by the time you sit down. You approve before anything sends.
Founders and solo operators in fintech, B2B software, professional services, and hospitality, running their own inbox, calendar, and pipeline through an agent team. You will not find their logos on this page. If you hand an agent your inbox, that stays yours, and so does the fact that you use us.
The chief of staff problem
Every founder needs a chief of staff. Almost no one can afford to hire one.
When you’re the founder, you’re also the ops person, the recruiter, the inbox, and the one who remembers what everyone else forgot. A great chief of staff would carry all of it. The six-figure hire you can’t justify yet won’t. Nerve is the one you can: a career operator’s judgment, productized, for a fraction of what that hire would cost. It reads your email, your calendar, your Slack, then runs an agent team that closes the loop instead of handing the work back to you. Not theory. Not another dashboard. Your actual data, your actual problems, handled, the same way its founder, an operator and LinkedIn alum with stops across credit, fintech, and go-to-market, uses it every morning to run the company.
Your first week
The loose ends a chief of staff would chase.
Connect Gmail and Calendar, and Nerve reads the last 60 days of your email and builds your first briefing. From then on it watches your pipeline, your upcoming meetings, and the threads you haven’t answered.
EXAMPLE
Three things Nerve might catch in your first week, and what it does about each.
An illustration, not customer data.
🔥
Revenue
3 deals overdue for a follow-up
Every deal stage has a follow-up window, from 14 days for a new lead down to 3 in negotiation. Three of your deals are past theirs, and one of them is at proposal.
✅ 3 follow-ups drafted for your approval
📅
Calendar
6 meetings tomorrow, 4 people you haven’t met
Before each meeting, Nerve preps you on who’s attending and runs a web lookup on anyone it has no record of.
✅ Prepped before each one starts
📥
Inbox
4 threads you meant to answer
Reading the last 60 days of your email, Nerve found four conversations that look dropped, one of them a customer question that never got a reply.
✅ Flagged on your dashboard right after you connect

From the demo call, Nerve caught what you promised: pricing for the VP Eng and a SOC 2 answer for legal. Both drafts wait in your queue until you approve them.

Thanks for the time on Tuesday. You mentioned SOC 2 has to clear before you sign, so here’s how we answer it…
the old answer was “hire someone”
An SDR you onboard, or a teammate that already knows everything.

When one stops being the whole team
Solo, it’s your Chief of Staff. As a team, it owns the seams between your functions.
Nerve runs for one operator first. When you hire, the work that was all yours becomes the handoffs between people: the dropped balls between sales and CS that no role owns. Nerve puts an agent on those seams. On a team, each person gets their own briefing and daily focus from their own inbox and calendar, and their agents draw on one pipeline the whole team shares. Same product, more seats.
Every new customer has to clear a compliance review before going live, and the checks sit across people and systems.
→ At a fintech, an agent gathered the evidence for every check, flagged the ones that needed a person, and logged each step. The team kept the final call.
FAQ
Before you sign up
Is Nerve still available?
Yes. Nerve at getnerve.ai is built by NerveLabs Inc., and it is live and taking signups. It is not affiliated with the Nerve team that joined OpenAI in February 2026.
Do I need a credit card?
Not for Lite, which is free. Pro and Operator start with a 7-day free trial that takes a card up front, and you can cancel anytime before it renews.
