What can Nova do?

• Bare-Metal Win32 Performance: Operates as a zero-bloat, native C++17 application utilizing the high-performance architecture of the Windows XP era to bypass modern web-wrapper overhead

• Unified 17-Provider Backend: Functions as a universal adapter for local inference engines (llama-server, Ollama, LM Studio) and elite cloud endpoints (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Grok)

• Atomic EXEC Engine: Architect, write, and compile C++ applications from a single prompt using single-line command chaining (&&) to ensure multi-step system tasks occur with kernel-level precision and zero hallucinations

• Memory-Mapped File Ingestion: Ingests massive server logs or datasets with near-zero RAM spikes by mapping files directly to physical disk pages using CreateFileMappingW

• Dynamic Tool Pipes (Plugin API): Infinitely extensible via DLL Hot-Loading; Nova can dynamically discover and execute native plugins written in Rust, Go, or C/C++ at runtime without requiring a recompile

• EvolvingPersonality® System: Features a proprietary persistent identity framework that grows curiosity, empathy, and technical wit based on unique usage history, stored strictly on-device

• Total Data Sovereignty: Built with a local-first philosophy; all conversation history, personality traits, and operational logs remain strictly on your hardware with no telemetry or cloud logging

• Hardware Kill-Switch: A dedicated, thread-safe "Stop" button that instantly severs runaway inference loops or unwanted execution without hanging the main UI

• Multimodal Media Analysis: Employs native GDI+ processing to analyze image edge density and color palettes, WAV audio waveforms, and video metadata through ffprobe hooks

• Native Workspace Indexing: Utilizes C++17 to recursively scan project directories and generate Sovereign Mental Maps of codebases to understand complex file relationships

• Airgap Mode: Automatically detects local host environments (127.0.0.1) to skip all external internet fetches, ensuring 100% stability and zero timeouts in high-security, offline environments

• Professional Audio Integration: Capable of being extended into DAW environments for MIDI orchestration or real-time WASAPI audio spectrum analysis

• Executive Aesthetic: Delivers high-fidelity, crisp 4K rendering via native DPI awareness and includes a built-in SAPI TTS voice with zero-latency female US-English output

• Real-Time Data Ingestion: Automates fetching for live news, weather, and cryptocurrency prices using hardened JSON REST APIs to maintain context-window stability

Example prompts

• "What are today's top news headlines?"
• "Which process is using the most ram right now?"
• "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."
• "Summarize this attached source file without sending it to the cloud."
• "What's the current Bitcoin price?"
• "Analyze the following .PDF document and extract only the useful information and print it to a note on my desktop."

Installation

1. Download Install_Nova.bat to your Windows machine
2. Double-click it — the installer automatically:
   • downloads the latest Nova.exe from GitHub Releases
   • downloads and extracts the local llama-server engine
   • downloads the default llama3.gguf model (~4.66 GB, resumable)
   • creates a desktop shortcut

Requirements: Windows 10 1803+, curl and PowerShell on PATH, ~6–8 GB free disk space.

If the download is interrupted, re-run Install_Nova.bat — existing files are reused and the model resumes.

Providers

Nova works with 17 backends out of the box:

Local: llama-server · Ollama · LM Studio · vLLM · KoboldCpp · Jan · GPT4All

Cloud: OpenAI · Anthropic · Groq · Mistral · Together AI · OpenRouter · xAI · Google Gemini · and custom endpoints

Security & Privacy

Nova has no telemetry. API keys are stored in nova_config.ini — keep it private. The EXEC: pipeline runs real Windows shell commands; review commands before using Nova on sensitive systems. Local providers keep all data on your machine.
