NOVA

The Executive Desktop Assistant

“The performance & durability of the past with the intelligence of the future.”

v1.5.1 & Pro RELEASED

Nova is a high-performance, bare-metal desktop assistant built in native Win32 C++17 — the same architecture that powered the most legendary Windows applications ever shipped. No Electron. No bloat. No bullsh*t. By skipping every modern web wrapper, Nova reserves 100% of your system resources for what matters: the AI.

Nova fetches live news, checks crypto prices, writes files to your desktop on command, generates code, tells jokes, or goes deep on whatever’s on your mind (even conspiracies). Local history and personality data stay strictly on your machine — no telemetry, no cloud logging, no guardrails.

1. New in v1.5.1

  • Casual Personality: Real responses. Nova talks back like a person — direct, dry, no filler. Not a status report.
  • Live Context Injection: Nova fetches today’s news, weather, and Bitcoin price automatically and references them naturally in conversation.
  • Desktop File Operations: Write notes, create folders, build and compile C++ apps — all from a single prompt via the EXEC engine.
  • Drag & Drop Attachments: Drop images, source files, or documents directly into the input field for instant analysis.
  • Unified 17-Provider Backend: Seamlessly switch between local inference (llama-server, Ollama, LM Studio) and cloud endpoints (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, xAI) — no restart required.
  • Hardware Kill-Switch: Thread-safe Stop button that instantly severs runaway inference to protect your GPU.
  • Native DPI Awareness: Crisp Win32 rendering on 4K and high-resolution monitors.

2. Live Demonstration: v1.5.1

Fig 1.1: Live news headlines, Bitcoin price check, Epstein breakdown, and desktop file creation. No scripts. No staging.

3. EXEC Engine: Software Architect Mode

Nova uses universal environment variables and atomic command chaining for terminal stability and kernel-level precision:

TASK: “Build and compile a hello world app on my desktop.”

EXEC: cmd /c “powershell -Command \”Set-Content -Path ‘%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\hello.cpp’ -Value ‘#include <iostream>’, ‘int main() { std::cout << \”Hello World!\” << std::endl; return 0; }’\” && cd /d %USERPROFILE%\Desktop && cl /O2 /EHsc /std:c++17 /Fe:hello.exe hello.cpp”

4. Nova Pro — The Executive Tier 🌎

Everything in the free build, plus:

  • Dark Mode — Full dark UI. Easy on the eyes during long sessions.
  • Dev Mode — Live model telemetry: provider, token count, context size, and temperature surfaced directly in the interface.
  • Image Generation — Prompt Nova to create an image. She generates it via local Stable Diffusion (AUTOMATIC1111). No cloud, no API key.
  • Lifetime License — Pay once, own it forever. Price increases after the founding batch closes.

5. Installation

Option A — Automated (Recommended):

  • Run Install_Nova.bat — provisions the engine and fetches model weights automatically.
