Local-first, block-based text editor for capturing, editing, searching, and sharing notes with privacy-focused hybrid storage.

Block-based Editor: Edit content as modular blocks that can be rearranged, edited, and composed to build structured notes and drafts.
Hybrid Storage Architecture: Local-first storage model that keeps data in the browser or local workspace by default, with managed remote storage options defined by the service terms.
Browser Extension Capture: A companion extension that captures web page content and AI-chat outputs directly into the Draft workspace for quick clipping and reuse.
Privacy-Focused Defaults: Default local storage and privacy-centric policies reduce cloud exposure of user text unless the user opts into remote features.
Searchable Workspace: Fast search across local content and captured items to quickly locate snippets, notes, and drafts.
Selective Sharing & Export: Controls to share or export content when the user chooses, enabling private drafting with optional collaboration or distribution.
Local-first storage: content stored in browser/local workspace by default
Hybrid Storage architecture combining local storage with optional remote/workspace options
Block-based text editing interface
Browser extension for capturing web or AI-chat content into Draft workspace
Search across stored content
Share functionality to export or share content when chosen

Research Capture: Clip excerpts, quotes, and web content via the browser extension into a local workspace for organized research and reference.
Drafting and Writing: Compose articles, blog posts, and longform drafts using block-based editing that simplifies rearranging sections.
Saving AI-Chat Outputs: Store and organize responses from AI chat sessions by capturing them directly into Draft for review and reuse.
Private Journaling: Maintain personal journals or notes stored locally for privacy-sensitive writing without default cloud exposure.
Offline-First Note Access: Work on notes and drafts offline with local browser storage, syncing or backing up only when the user opts in.
Controlled Sharing: Prepare and selectively share documents or export content when collaboration or publication is required.
Privacy-sensitive note-taking and drafting where local storage is required
Capturing and archiving snippets from web pages or AI chat sessions via browser extension
Research and writing workflows that need quick capture, edit, and search locally
Offline-first editing and content management in the browser

Terminal-native autonomous AI developer that builds, debugs and ships code from the CLI with persistent project context.

Terminal-Native Execution: Runs build, fix and deploy commands such as `nova build` directly in the CLI instead of requiring copy-pasting from a chatbot.
Persistent Context: Remembers project structure, workflows and coding history across sessions so prompts do not need to be repeated.
Repo Mapping: `nova map` analyzes the repository to give the assistant multi-file, codebase-wide awareness.
Healer Debugger: A self-healing debugger analyzes stack traces and failures and iterates on fixes automatically.
Multi-File App Builds: Generates and modifies multi-file architectures rather than single-file snippets.
Document & Dashboard Generation: Produces PDF, DOCX and PPT files plus HTML and Streamlit dashboards from prompts.
160+ AI Models: Access to a broad set of models through one CLI login with credit-based usage.
Team & Enterprise Options: Shared credit pools, per-member usage reporting and deployment on cloud, dedicated server or self-hosted.

Feature Scaffolding: Describe a new feature or auth system and let NOVA generate files across the project.
Bug Triage: Feed stack traces to the healer debugger to find and patch runtime failures without leaving the terminal.
Codebase Onboarding: Map an unfamiliar repository and ask architecture questions as an AI pair programmer.
Refactoring: Refactor components and functions across many files with whole-project context.
Quick Deployments: Build and deploy small apps or dashboards in one continuous CLI workflow.
Team Credit Management: Engineering teams share one credit pool with usage reporting by member and model.
