I set up a morning routine that checks my calendar, reads unread emails, gives me a weather briefing, and starts my "Focus" playlist on Spotify. All from one message: "good morning."
What people are building
Real automations, real productivity, real magic. See how people use Nova to get things done.
Nova watches my Gmail for invoices, extracts the amounts and due dates, creates reminders in Apple Reminders, and adds payment deadlines to my calendar. Fully automated invoice tracking.
"Movie night" dims my Hue lights to 20%, sets them to warm amber, pauses my Sonos music, and sends a message to my partner that movie time is starting. One sentence.
Every Friday at 5pm, Nova pulls my completed tasks from Notion, drafts a weekly status update email, and sends it to my team on Slack. My weekend starts without admin work.
I use Nova's desktop app to search my codebase, explain error messages, and run shell commands. "Find all TODO comments in the src folder" → instant results with file paths.
Nova manages my medication schedule. It creates reminders, tracks when I've taken them, and even drafts a summary for my doctor appointments. Life-changing for chronic conditions.
Every morning at 8AM, Nova runs a local routine on my Mac: checks disk space, clears old downloads, runs my backup script, and sends me a system health report. Zero maintenance.
I describe a design concept in natural language and Nova generates image variations with DALL-E, saves them to a folder on my Desktop, and creates a Notion page with the brief. Instant mood boards.
Nova monitors my production alerts via email, summarizes critical issues, and posts them to our #incidents Slack channel with severity tags. Cut our response time by 60%.
"What should I read this weekend?" — Nova checks my Notion reading list, picks the top-rated unread book, finds reviews online, and creates a calendar block for Sunday reading time.
Set up a "leaving home" routine: Hue lights turn off, thermostat adjusts, Nova sends me a weather update and my commute ETA based on calendar location. Saves 5 minutes every morning.
Nova is my writing assistant. It searches the web for research, summarizes articles, and creates Apple Notes with organized outlines. Then sets a 2-hour focus block on my calendar.
As a freelancer, I tell Nova "invoice Acme Corp for 40 hours at $150/hr" and it calculates the total, drafts an email with the breakdown, and creates a reminder for follow-up in 30 days.
Nova reads my kids' school newsletter emails, extracts important dates, adds them to a shared family calendar, and creates reminders for things like picture day and field trips.
Built a code review workflow: paste a PR link, Nova fetches the diff via web, analyzes changes, checks for common issues, and posts a structured review to the PR as a comment.
Nova tracks my workout routine. I say "just finished 5k in 24 minutes" and it logs it in my Notion fitness tracker, calculates my pace improvement, and sets tomorrow's goal.
I use Nova to explore datasets. "Read sales_q4.csv from my Desktop and give me the top 10 customers by revenue" → instant analysis with the desktop app's file access.
Planning trips with Nova is incredible. "Plan a 5-day trip to Tokyo" → it searches for travel tips, creates a day-by-day itinerary in Notion, and adds key events to my calendar.
