Pebs AI agent: Nox launches a daily helper

Key facts

What is Pebs and when did it launch?

Pebs is a “daily personal AI agent by Nox” that researches the web, works in a cloud browser, creates downloadable files and runs scheduled tasks (Pebs). Nox first introduced it on 6 October 2026 as a preview (Pebs blog), and the official launch inside the Nox app followed on 1 November 2026 (Pebs).

Nox itself is best known as a health and wellness assistant built by Xhealth, Inc., with a safety system called Leo that screens for warning signs (Nox). Pebs adds an agent on top: Nox describes the app as the home, GHI-1 as the engine and Pebs as “who you talk to” (Pebs). The company has not published funding or user numbers for Pebs.

What can Pebs do every day?

The small jobs that fill a day

Pebs is built for everyday errands rather than big projects. Nox’s own examples include a weekday 7:30 briefing on weather and transit alerts, finding a dentist with Saturday walk-in hours, comparing three pairs of headphones on price, battery life and return window, and reading a return policy to tell you exactly what to send back and by when (Pebs). It can also fill in a form up to the submit button so you can check it first (Pebs).

Checks that repeat on their own

Any task can run daily, on weekdays, weekly or monthly at your local time, such as checking every Friday whether a jacket is back in stock in your size (Pebs). If runs are missed they collapse into one, and Pebs can email you when a task finishes or needs you (Pebs). If that sounds useful, our price tracking skill and deal hunter template show how other agents handle the same job.

How does Pebs work?

You give your Peb a goal, for example “compare these three coworking spaces, pick the one open after 9pm, and book me a Thursday desk”. GHI-1 writes a short plan you can read before anything happens, then works through it one step at a time (Pebs). Each step has to end with something real: the list, a summary with source links, a CSV or Markdown file, or the confirmation itself (Nox GHI 1).

When a step needs a website, the Peb opens its own isolated cloud browser for that task, and a live view streams to you. You can take over, click and type yourself, and hand it back; Pebs carries on from the page you left (Pebs). Under the hood, routine browser steps run on Nox’s fast Vela 2.1 model and move up to Orion Flash 2.1 if a step stalls, while you choose a thinking level for harder steps (Nox GHI 1). Miso, a soft floating spirit, and Orbit, a curious little space bot, are the faces of that work, showing at a glance whether the agent is thinking, waiting or done (Pebs blog).

How much does Pebs cost?

There is no separate Pebs subscription. It comes with the Nox MAX and NOX 50 plans, while Free and Pro do not include it (Pebs pricing). On Nox’s plans page, MAX costs USD 24.99 a month and NOX 50 costs USD 49.99 a month; NOX 50 adds higher usage, more cloud-browser time and more tasks running at once (Nox plans).

Model calls and cloud-browser time in a task count against your plan, and before a task runs Pebs gives a rough cost estimate of light, moderate or heavy (Pebs pricing). Each step also has an action budget, so a step that keeps looping is told to finish with what it has and then stops, rather than using up credits (Nox GHI 1).

Is Pebs safe to use with your accounts?

Nox puts a lot of care into this. Sign-ins, verification codes and card details go through secure cards straight into the task’s browser, never through the chat or the model, and they are not logged or kept (Pebs security). Sends, purchases, submissions and other outside changes pause for your explicit confirmation, entering a card never places an order by itself, and saved preferences never count as approval for a purchase or a send (Pebs security).

Each task runs in its own browser session, and your own browser and cookies are not used. Leo, Nox’s safety system, runs on its strictest setting in every task, and Pebs is clear that it is not a doctor and does not give medical advice (Pebs security).

How does Pebs compare with OpenAI Dots and Meta Muse?

Pebs joins a busy field of agents that work on their own computers. OpenAI Dots are always-on agents, each with its own cloud computer, included in ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium (OpenAI). Meta Muse works on your goals inside a dedicated secure virtual machine and has a free tier (Meta).

Pebs’ angle is everyday errands with a visible plan, a deliverable at every step and a browser you can grab at any moment. Unlike some always-on agents, it works on the tasks you assign rather than on its own initiative (Pebs).

What should you watch next?

Pebs has just left preview, so the things to watch are how well its cloud browser copes with real sites, whether more characters follow Miso and Orbit, and whether Nox brings Pebs to cheaper plans. Nox already publishes its own side-by-side pages against other agents (Pebs compare), which suggests it wants to be judged in the open.
