Nova · About

Built in Paarl, for people carrying too much.

Nova started with a small, expensive kind of failure: the renewal nobody cancelled, the quote nobody followed up, the message you meant to send on Tuesday. Not a lack of tools — a lack of anything that notices.

Free AI waits for prompts. You have to know what to ask, and remember to ask it. That is exactly the part busy people cannot do. So Nova works the other way around: it watches the sources you connect, catches what matters, prepares the next move, and waits for one tap.

What Nova is

A phone-first home screen for your life and your business. Not a chatbot, not a folder of prompts. Small cards, each with a source, a reason, and a next move already drafted. You approve; Nova executes and logs it.

Where it's built

Paarl, South Africa. That shapes the product: prices in rand, load-shedding-aware reminders, South African public holidays in the calendar logic, WhatsApp treated as a first-class surface rather than an afterthought. Nova is available worldwide and priced in local currency, but it was designed for how work actually happens here first.

The rules we hold ourselves to

  • Nothing sends without your tap

    Approval is enforced in the database, not just the interface. An external send is refused unless a matching approval event exists for that exact card.

  • Your memory is yours

    Everything Nova has learned is visible, editable, erasable, and exportable as JSON — from inside the app, without emailing anyone.

  • Deleting means deleting

    Delete your account and your rows are wiped immediately. Encrypted backups roll off within 30 days.

  • No cold outbound, ever

    Nova does not message your contacts on your behalf. It prepares; you decide.

  • We say what isn't built yet

    The changelog lists what shipped, and the limits page lists what Nova still can't do. Early access means honest gaps, not vague promises.

Where we are now

Early access. A small team, a founder who reads every message, and a product that ships weekly. If something is broken or missing, telling us genuinely changes what gets built next — email support@heynova.tech.

Next step

Nova's built. Yours takes two minutes.

Five questions tune the agents to how you actually work.

No card. Nova drafts — you approve every send.
