What Makes Novus Different

Universal messaging Native AI messaging Use cases Privacy Model choice Lower cost Your context All platforms
Planned

Chat with your Telegram and WhatsApp friends.

Novus plans to embed Telegram and WhatsApp right inside the app, so you keep messaging all of your friends — and supercharge your conversations with AI. WhatsApp will be available in the EU via the EU's DMA interoperability interface.

  • Message and collaborate with your friends
  • Secure message delivery

Use AI inside your real group conversations.

Unlike the competition we don't just bolt clunky AI integrations onto existing messaging apps. Novus is built from the ground up to be a AI native messaging app.

Using Novus you will get AI native features such as:

  • Hide or show AI messages
  • Useful AI Agents
  • Token streaming
  • Semantic search
  • Smart context management
  • Advanced AI messaging options
Use AI inside your real group conversations.

AI that helps your group get real things done.

AI in group chats isn't a gimmick — it's genuinely useful. Novus brings smart, context-aware AI into the moments your group actually needs it: planning trips, catching up on missed messages, splitting expenses, drafting the perfect reply, translating for a friend, and a whole lot more.

  • Colaborative document editing
  • Planning & coordination
  • Catch-up summaries
  • Message drafting & translation
  • Expense splitting

Privacy you can see and control.

We put user privacy first. Choose cloud sync or local-only retention for each conversation, so you stay in control of where your data is stored and what your AI can draw on — privacy as a visible setting, not a buried policy. We also use zero data retention endpoints by default for all cloud models.

  • User data encryption in transit and at rest
  • Per-conversation: cloud sync or local-only
  • Local-first & offline-first design
  • Zero data retention endpoints

Choose from hundreds of models for any task.

Pick your favourites and set defaults per task. Novus brings together hundreds of models from many providers — small models that download to your phone, fast and affordable cloud models like DeepSeek, Kimi, and Qwen, and frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic — across text, image, audio, and video.

  • On-device, cloud & frontier options
  • Beyond chat: image, audio & video models

Pay less for frontier-level AI.

Many open and efficient models now rival frontier quality at a fraction of the cost. Novus lets you choose exactly which model to use — so you can get near-frontier results for everyday work and save the priciest models for when you actually want them. No forced upgrades, no smart-routing you can't control.

  • Near-frontier quality, far less cost
  • You pick the model — your call, every time

Turn your messages, links, files, and more into searchable context.

Bring conversations, links, PDFs, documents, and shared media into the assistant so answers use the context you already have — ask questions, get summaries, and find things fast.

  • Chat with messages, files & links
  • Search across everything
Turn your messages, links, files, and more into searchable context.

Your personal AI assistant, wherever you are.

Novus works on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Web — so your conversations, models, and context travel with you. One app, every screen.

  • iOS, Android, macOS, Windows & Web
  • Synced across all your devices
