This guide takes you through the complete flow for getting into your first Nebula simulation — from creating an account to sitting inside a virtual desktop at one of Nebula’s 12 fictional companies. The whole process takes about 10 minutes the first time through.
Platform onboarding is required before you can launch a simulation. You only complete it once, but you must finish it before Nebula lets you start a session. The steps below walk you through it.
1

Create your account

Go to app.nebula.app/signup and enter your email address, password (minimum 8 characters), and a display name (up to 80 characters). This is the name your AI coworkers and the coordinator will use to address you inside simulations.If you want to explore the platform before committing, select Continue as guest instead. Guest access gives you a temporary account to try Nebula without a permanent sign-up.
2

Complete platform onboarding

After signing up, Nebula starts a short AI-guided onboarding chat before you can do anything else. This is your one-time platform setup — it collects three things:
  • Your preferred domain — Product Management, Marketing, Data Analysis, or Consulting
  • Your experience level — student, junior, mid-level, senior, or executive
  • Your user type — student or professional
Answer the AI’s questions naturally. The conversation is short and takes about two to three minutes. When the chat is complete, click Finish onboarding to save your profile.
You cannot launch any simulation until platform onboarding is complete. This requirement is enforced by the platform and cannot be skipped.

Browse and choose a company

After onboarding, you land on the dashboard. Navigate to Workplaces to see all 12 fictional companies. Each company card shows its industry, culture, and the domains available within it.Select a company that matches the kind of workplace experience you want to practice. You can read each company’s full profile — including its org structure and team — before deciding.
4

Start a simulation session

From a company’s profile page, click Start simulation. Nebula initializes a new session, loads the company’s world state, and opens the AI onboarding coordinator inside the simulation.
5

Complete AI onboarding inside the simulation

The AI onboarding coordinator opens a chat at the start of every simulation session. Unlike platform onboarding (which you only do once), this step happens at the beginning of each new session.The coordinator will:
  • Confirm your experience level and goals for this session
  • Suggest three case studies relevant to the company and your background
  • Assign you a specific role within the company (for example, Product Manager, Data Analyst, or Strategy Consultant)
  • Offer an optional baseline assessment if you want a diagnostic before diving in
  • Introduce you to the company’s current context, your team, and the situation you’re walking into
Respond to the coordinator’s questions, choose one of the suggested case studies, and confirm your role assignment to continue.
6

Enter the virtual workspace

Once onboarding is complete, the simulation opens the virtual desktop. You’ll see a workplace environment with eight tools available:
  • Email — read incoming messages from managers, teammates, and stakeholders
  • Chat — message your AI coworkers directly
  • Documents — draft briefs, reports, and internal memos
  • Tasks — manage your assigned work and track priorities
  • Workspace — team channels for broader group communication
  • Mission Control — your scenario briefing hub; open this first
  • Updates — a live feed of notifications and scenario events
  • Lucy AI — your in-simulation coach for guidance and reflection
From this point, you’re inside the simulation. Work through your scenario, respond to the situation as it evolves, and make decisions. The company world reacts to what you do.
Open Mission Control first. It shows your objectives, stakeholder map, and recommended first moves — so you know exactly where to start before diving into email or chat.
7

End your session

When you’re ready to wrap up — or when the scenario reaches a natural conclusion — end the session from the workspace menu. Nebula will generate your session report, which includes performance scores, skill updates, XP earned, and a replay summary of key decisions.
You don’t have to finish a scenario in one sitting. Nebula saves your session state, and your progress and company relationships carry over to future sessions at the same company.
