About us
We help teams turn AI demos into real products
Nova started in 2023 when our founders spent more time building agent infrastructure than the agents themselves. We built the platform we wished we had.
Our story
Every AI team we talked to had the same problem: a great demo that took months to make reliable. Prompts drifted, tools failed silently, and nobody could explain why an agent did what it did.
So we built Nova, one place to design, deploy and observe agents, with the guardrails production needs from day one.
Today, more than 4,000 teams, from two-person startups to public companies, run their agents on Nova. We're a remote team of 40 across 12 countries, and we're just getting started.

Our values
What we care about
Clarity over magic
Every decision an agent makes should be visible, explainable and testable.
Ship, then polish
We release small improvements every day and listen closely to what you say.
Earn trust
Your data is yours. We treat security and privacy as features, not checkboxes.
