NOVA

The Executive Desktop Assistant

"The performance & durability of the past with the intelligence of the future."

Nova is the first native Win32 C++17 executive desktop AI assistant that connects to local or 17+ cloud AI providers and can automate real Windows tasks through PowerShell/CMD. No Electron. No bloat. No bullsh*t.


What NOVA Can Do

  • Automates Windows tasks through the EXEC: command pipeline
  • Connects to local models and over 17 cloud AI backends
  • Analyzes images, audio, video metadata, and text attachments
  • Keeps all history and personality data on your machine
  • Lightweight native binary (~3MB, ~14MB heap)
  • Complete installation: 1.04 MB (Nova Pro's Setup.exe)

What You Can Build With NOVA

Try these first:

  • "Create a folder on my Desktop called NovaDemo and add a README.txt explaining what Nova did."
  • "Organize my Desktop into folders for images, documents, installers, and code."
  • "Create a tiny C++ console app that prints Hello from Nova, compile it with MSVC, and tell me where the EXE is."
  • "Make a simple Win32 C++ window with a button that says Click me."
  • "Use Ollama as my provider and help me test whether it is responding."
  • "Summarize this attached text or source file without sending it to the cloud."
  • "Check today's weather or latest news and give me a three-bullet summary."
  • "Update your personality based on how I corrected you."

Things You Can Make

  • Small C++ utilities and Win32 app prototypes
  • Batch scripts for repetitive Windows tasks
  • PowerShell file organization tools
  • Desktop project scaffolds
  • README, checklist, and project-plan generators
  • Local document and source-code summaries
  • Provider test and debug workflows
  • Personal knowledge notes and reusable task recipes

Security, Privacy & Control

NOVA has no telemetry. API keys are saved in nova_config.ini — treat it as private. The EXEC: pipeline can run real Windows shell commands; review commands before using NOVA on sensitive files or systems. Local providers keep all data on your machine. Cloud providers send requests per their own terms.
