Moving mining off planet means coordinating across aerospace engineering, government policy, materials science, supply chain economics, and hardware development simultaneously. No single person holds all of that context. No team can, either.
NOVA is an AI-powered systems engineering platform that combines frontier language models with the structured knowledge of people who've actually built things. Engineers, policymakers, domain experts with decades of experience. The AI is powerful, but power without context is noise. NOVA grounds it in real expertise, captured through structured interviews, ingested documentation, and operational data, then makes it accessible to anyone working on the problem.
We built it because we needed it. But the problems NOVA solves aren't unique to asteroid mining. Any organisation managing complex, knowledge-heavy work across multiple teams and domains faces the same challenge: critical expertise trapped in people's heads, decisions made without full context, institutional knowledge walking out the door every time someone leaves. We're actively deploying NOVA across aerospace, fintech, and law, working with teams where the cost of getting it wrong is high and the knowledge required to get it right is spread across too many people. Every deployment makes the platform sharper and brings us closer to the tool we need to coordinate the hardest engineering project of the century.
If your team is solving problems where expertise matters more than speed, we should talk.
NOVA connects to your email, Slack, Jira, shared drives, and every other system your teams use. It builds a structured model of your company: who does what, how work flows, where decisions get made, and why. Temporal knowledge graphs track the causal relationships between events, so NOVA understands not just what happened but what caused it. This is the ontology. Everything that follows sits on top of it.
NOVA builds a structured plan grounded in what the company actually knows: the failures it shouldn’t repeat, the successes it should build on, the people involved, the resources available, and the dependencies between them. Every recommendation traces back to real evidence in the ontology. The company learns from its own history instead of relying on whoever happens to remember.
A mandate grants someone access to query specific topics at a depth you choose. Nothing else is visible. No mandate, no access. Revoke it at any time and everything it touched is shut off.
Everything said is attributed to a person and anchored to the evidence underneath. NOVA sits in the room, turns discussion into structured knowledge, and surfaces the actions the team has agreed to.
When a team votes or agrees on something in a Forum, it becomes an Action with an owner, a deadline, and a link back to the evidence and discussion that created it. Nothing gets lost between conversation and execution.
“It's time to build our 2nd gen rocket engine. Pull together everything we learned from V1: what failed, what succeeded, and what we'd do differently. Brief the team on the key decisions and get us ready to start.”
NOVA starts by reading the evidence you already have: years of unstructured documents, files, and records. It builds a working model of the business before it asks your team a single question, so when interviews happen, it already understands the terrain.
A Project is a written objective broken into a structured plan: who, what, why, when, and how. You type the goal as a sentence; NOVA asks the questions that fill in the rest, such as what success looks like, who is impacted, and what resources are available.
A Topic Access Mandate lets one person query specific topics in another person’s graph, at a chosen depth, and nothing else. You grant exactly what you pick, and you can revoke it at any time. With nothing granted, nothing crosses: it fails closed.
No. Each person’s graph stays under their control. NOVA composes peer-held grants into a working view, always as a named person. There is no anonymous, organisation-wide read of everyone’s data.
Revoking a mandate stops the flow immediately, and everything it conducted is shut off at the seam. Without a signed, active grant, the data is invisible. There is no default-open access.
Forums are message boards pinned to a Project or topic. The conversation lives next to the work it is about. What is said is attributed to a person, anchored to the underlying evidence, and shared only through the mandates that have been granted. NOVA sits in the room too, turning the discussion into evidence, processes, and Actions.
When a group needs to choose, anyone can post a Poll. Once it resolves, the leading option is minted as an Action: a first-class task with a named owner, a deadline, and a lifecycle the team can track to completion.
For a small team, a Project is the shortest path from an objective to action: a clear goal, the people it touches, and the next concrete steps, kept honest by the evidence underneath.
In Enterprise, NOVA maps the key processes involved in each transformation area. It models the real sequences of states, actions, and decisions your work moves through, so change is grounded in how the organisation actually operates rather than an org chart.
The everyday way is to invite people into your Projects. The Project becomes a shared coordination node, and each member grants the topics that project needs, and nothing more.
