# Nexus

> Built from your catalog, your incidents, your code, and your telemetry, and sharper with every incident.

Nexus is incident.io's living model of your organization: how your systems are built, how your team operates, and how things break. It combines everything it can see with an understanding of how that fits together. It's unique to your organization, included with the platform, and powers the products you use across it.

## Explore your incidents

You don't need Investigations to get value from Nexus. From your [catalog](/nexus/catalog) and your past incidents alone, it builds a clustered map of your incident history: related incidents grouped into themes, so you can see your data in a way a list never shows you.

<Info>Exploring your incidents in Nexus is available on Pro and Enterprise plans.</Info>

Use it to spot the failures that keep recurring, the themes eating the most time, and the responders who show up across related incidents.

## What Nexus knows

Each source you connect gives Nexus another angle on your organization. Catalog and past incidents come from incident.io itself. Connecting the other sources, like telemetry and code, currently requires [Investigations](/investigations/overview).

Once a source is connected, everything draws on it: Investigations use it when an incident is live, and so does [the agent](/ai/at-incident) whenever you ask it a question. With telemetry connected, you can ask the agent what your systems were doing and it'll go and query them for you. Connect whatever you have; you don't need everything to get value.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I have to buy Nexus separately?">
    No. Nexus is the intelligence underneath the platform, not a separate purchase. Every product you use adds to what
    it knows, and it's unique to your organization: your data never trains shared models. Connecting sources like code
    and telemetry does require [Investigations](/investigations/overview), but your catalog and your past incidents feed
    Nexus without it.
