USE CASE · DOCUMENTS
The amount you owe is inside a PDF you never opened.
Snap or upload an invoice, quote or statement and Nova reads the vendor, amount, due date and reference straight off it — then builds the Money card.
Snap a document works on the Free Preview
What it costs you today
- The number that matters is in an attachment, not in the message.
- You open it, think 'later', and later is after the due date.
- Retyping invoice details into a reminder is the least appealing task in the day.
How Nova prepares it.
Photograph or upload the invoice, quote or statement from your phone using Snap a document. No filing, no folders.
Vendor, amount, due date and reference come out of the document with a confidence score and the source shown.
"Invoice from [vendor] — amount due [date]", dated and watched, with the payment reminder or reply prepared for your tap.
Example previews. Nova prepares — nothing sends, pays or changes without your tap.
What you need
Snapping and reading a document is available to every account. Automatic watching of a mailbox for new documents is available on Plus.
See all plansWhat Nova can’t do here yet
- Nova does not read attachment files out of forwarded email yet. When an email mentions an attachment, Nova flags it and asks you to add the amount or snap the document — it won't invent the number.
- Handwriting and heavily stylised layouts reduce accuracy. Every extracted figure is shown with its confidence so you can correct it before approving.
- Nova reads documents; it doesn't store a filing cabinet or replace your accounting records.
Questions people actually ask.
- Does Nova read PDFs attached to forwarded emails?
- Not yet. Today it detects when an email mentions an attachment and asks you for the missing facts, or you snap the document directly. We'd rather say that plainly than pretend.
- What does Snap a document extract?
- Vendor, amount, due date and reference where they're present, each with a confidence indicator and the source document shown on the card.
- What if it reads a number wrong?
- You edit the card before approving. Low-confidence extractions are labelled, and your correction is what gets saved.
- Can I use it from my phone camera?
- Yes — Snap a document is built for a phone photo of a paper or on-screen invoice.
