About Novastart
Novastart is a revolutionary infinite canvas whiteboard OS that seamlessly integrates your essential apps, files, and AI agents, empowering true collaborative work.
Key Features
Infinite Canvas
Your work should never run out of room. Every app you use is a window on an infinite canvas. Zoom out and see all of it. Zoom in and work. Nothing hides behind a tab.
App Integration
Access your favorite apps like Gmail, Excel, WhatsApp, and Notion as real windows, signed in as you. It also supports bundled Chrome, ONLYOFFICE, and Linux apps, bringing your essential tools directly onto the canvas.
AI Agents
Watch your AI agents work collaboratively on your projects. Agents are first-class participants, each getting their own cursor and keyboard to work alongside you and your teammates in real time.
Team Collaboration
Stop sharing your screen and start sharing the workspace. Your whole team can be on one canvas, each with their own cursor, allowing for direct pointing, clicking, and fixing without verbal cues.
Saved Workspaces
Tomorrow, every app, position, and tab will be right where you left it. Novastart preserves your entire workspace setup, ensuring continuity and saving you setup time.
Visual Organization
Every window has a place on the infinite canvas. Zoom out to see the entire layout at once, providing a clear overview of your projects and how different elements connect.
Use Cases
Project Brainstorming
Teams can use Novastart's infinite canvas to visually map out ideas, drag and drop relevant documents, and simultaneously use AI agents to research and generate content, all within a shared, dynamic space.
Collaborative Document Editing
Open documents like Word or Excel directly on the canvas and invite team members to edit in real-time. The shared workspace ensures everyone sees the same content and changes as they happen.
Complex Workflow Management
For intricate projects, Novastart allows you to open multiple applications and files side-by-side, creating a visual workflow. AI agents can be assigned specific tasks within this workflow, automating parts of the process.
Remote Team Meetings
Instead of screen sharing, teams can collaborate directly on a shared Novastart canvas. Participants can interact with applications and each other's cursors, making remote meetings more engaging and productive.
Research and Analysis
Integrate web browsing (via Chrome), document analysis (Excel, Word), and AI-powered research tools on a single canvas. This allows for a holistic approach to gathering and analyzing information without switching between applications.
Onboarding and Training
New team members can be onboarded onto a shared canvas where all necessary applications and documentation are readily available. Trainers can demonstrate processes using live applications, and trainees can follow along with their own cursors.
