Meet Nova, the assistant that keeps up with you.

Nova Buddy AI is your everyday AI assistant — ask it anything, draft anything, plan anything. It answers in seconds, remembers the conversation, and talks like a person, not a manual. Made for desktop and laptop, and it works on any device too — it just feels best on a bigger screen. No app to install, just open it in your browser.

  • Free to start — chat free every day, no card needed
  • Private by design — your conversations live in your browser, not in our database
  • Buddy Plus unlocks all 5 personalities: Friendly, Sharp, Playful, Motivator & Chill
  • Want one that's truly yours? Avatar AIs are included with Buddy Plus — $4.99/month
  • Works on every device, best on desktop & laptop — right in your browser, worldwide; every new account starts with 50 free Nova Gems

Talk to Nova right now

This is the real Nova Buddy AI chat, live. Type — or tap the 🎙️ mic and just talk — and hit 🔊 Listen on any reply to hear it out loud. After each answer, Nova suggests follow-up questions so you are never stuck on what to ask next. Buddy Plus members can flip the personality switch to hear its voice change.

🧠 Buddy remembers you Buddy Plus

Plus members can teach Buddy facts — your name, goals, favourites — and Buddy uses them in every chat.

Stored with your account (Supabase, hosted in Canada), so Buddy remembers you on any device. Buddy uses these in chat right away.

One assistant, all the everyday stuff

Nova is built for the questions and tasks that fill a normal day — not just the impressive ones.

Ask anything

Explanations without the jargon, quick facts, ideas, advice. Nova answers in plain language and shows its working when it matters.

Write & polish

Emails, messages, captions, cover letters, tough conversations. Give Nova the rough version and get back the one you'd actually send.

Plan your day

Turn a messy to-do list into a realistic plan, prep for meetings, and break big projects into first steps you can start today.

Always on, in your voice

Pick Friendly, Sharp, or Playful and Nova keeps that tone across the whole conversation — like texting someone who knows how you like things.

Up and running in a minute

Create your account

Sign up free with your name and email, from anywhere in the world. No card, no trial traps — and you get 50 Nova Gems as a welcome bonus.

Pick a personality

With Buddy Plus, pick Nova's voice: Friendly for everyday help, Sharp when you want it brief, Playful when the day needs lightening — plus Motivator and Chill.

Just start talking
