Most assistants wait to be asked. Nova reads your day and speaks first — then does the work when you answer. Here's the whole picture, honestly, including what it can't do.
Nova runs on its own server around the clock. It doesn't need you to open an app — it decides when something's worth saying, writes the message itself, and texts you.
One message that leads with what actually matters today, folds in the weather when it's useful, and skips what isn't ready to need you.
Nova estimates how many days of work each deadline really needs, then starts reminding you that far ahead — and paces itself, so a three-week project doesn't mean three weeks of daily pestering.
"Begin finding job — sized as ~14 days. Worth starting this week."Ask once for a repeating text — a training log, a nightly habit — and it arrives on schedule, written fresh each time rather than copy-pasted.
"remind me weekdays at 12:15 to log boxing"When plans pass it asks how they went, not whether you did them. When a question goes unanswered for an hour, it circles back once — lightly, then drops it.
A debrief at the end of the day that remembers what you said, and recaps anything still hanging so one reply settles everything.
If you're pushing through something, Nova can send a few messages a day in your corner — tuned to what you're going through, not generic quotes.
Nova is connected to the accounts you already use. When you ask for something, it does it — and anything that leaves your name (email, invites) is drafted for your approval first, every time.
Reads every calendar you own, creates and moves events, handles repeating ones, finds gaps, checks whether other people are free, and makes new calendars.
"put boxing on my Fitness calendar, weekdays at 11"Searches your inbox, pulls commitments out of it automatically, and writes replies from your own address — always shown as a draft before anything sends.
Reads PDFs you attach in chat and attachments sitting in your email — a lease, a syllabus — then answers questions or turns deadlines into tasks.
"read the syllabus my prof sent and add the due dates"Lays out an hour-by-hour plan for a day that respects your real routines, travel time, meals, and how long things actually take you — learned from your own history.
Searches the web live, books tables by email under your name or hands you the direct booking link, and finds what you need nearby.
Notices the people who keep coming up, remembers who they are to you, and keeps their details straight without you filling in a form.
Text it from the bus, talk to it across the room, call it, or type at midnight. It's the same assistant with the same memory — what you said by text at noon is there in the app at night.
With Nova open, say the words and keep talking — it answers out loud and stays listening for your follow-up, no wake word needed the second time.
Call Nova and have an actual conversation. It can also be reached through Siri if you'd rather start hands-free from a locked phone.
Everything the app can do, Nova can do over plain SMS — including reading files you send it.
Every conversation on every channel is saved, searchable, and encrypted — and only you can erase it.
Nova keeps a picture of you that sharpens every week — not to profile you, but so its suggestions stop being generic.
Mention a café once and Nova remembers what you thought. It also quietly notes venues from your calendar. Ask for a recommendation and it checks your own map before the internet's.
Focus hours, bedtime, training time, how you like plans built. Tell it once; every future suggestion respects it.
The nightly debrief shapes tomorrow's tone. A rough week means a gentler morning; a good streak gets acknowledged.
Nova times its own estimates against reality and corrects itself, so plans stop being fiction.
Gym sessions with sets, weights and personal bests — plus any sport at all. One combined heatmap for everything, one per activity, streaks and weeks-in-a-row. Log it by saying it.
"played basketball for an hour"Pick what must happen each morning. What you miss rolls into real tasks so nothing quietly evaporates.
Broken into steps Nova can suggest and revise with you in chat. Stalled goals get a quiet mention; ones past their date get a fresh conversation about timing.
Accounts, balances, net worth over time and loan payoff — updated by telling Nova, snapping a screenshot, or connecting a bank.
Worth knowing before you rely on it.
