We know our friends in HR and People Ops are always rock solid reliable and we believe Nova is too. This release is packed with features focused on producing more consistent and reliable interactions between you and Nova. Let’s check it out!

Enhanced Confirmation Flows

Prior to this release, Nova would often play a little fast and loose with confirmation of what the user asked for. Sometimes it would choose to confirm once, sometimes endlessly and sometimes not at all! Now Nova will check that it actually needs to confirm what it needs and doesn’t need and will keep asking you for additional details until it has everything you need!

Scheduled Workflows Are Now…More Scheduled 🤦

Do you struggle with timezones? Apparently Nova does to. This release helps make sure that Nova won’t change the times of your scheduled tasks and let’s you schedule things in a particular timezone. ET, PT, UTC? Now Nova understands them all.

“What is my team struggling with?”

Have you ever struggled with capturing the themes of all the real-time interactions that your team has with you? Now Nova makes that as easy as asking “What have you been helping my team with?”. Private by definition and great for strategic planning, you will never have to guess where your team is struggling as they start to interact with Nova on a daily basis.

Ready made resources and templates to use with Nova

With the latest improvements to Nova’s accuracy and lookup capabilities, the team went all out and created a TON of great templates and guides as starting points for your own organization and to use with Nova. The first batch includes everything from a Meeting Norms template to a guide to AI prompts that you can use directly with Nova. Check it out at https://nova.peoplelogic.ai/resources and there’s more to come!

🪲 Bug Fixes

• IDP and 9box generation sometimes outputs in markdown within Word

• Agents sometimes confirm over and over again still (see the improvement above!)

• When an agent that supports long operations, the transition message doesn't disappear (Slack)

Coming Soon!

We’re hard at work to drive even more improvements to Nova. Here’s what’s coming up in the next few releases:

• A standalone Web Interface for Nova

  One of our most common requests from early adopters - now you’ll be able to use Nova outside of Slack! 💪 Here’s a sneak peek:

• Suggest additional workflows to start when users finish asking questions

• Be able to have Nova send a monthly/quarterly “State of the People Function” report

• Allow connections to file servers to support knowledge searching
