Agent-first workflow studio

From AI opportunity to working agent-first workflows.

Nova helps companies design, build and scale practical AI-enabled workflows through custom implementations and vertical products — all built on Nova Backbone, our reusable agent-first system for workflow mapping, orchestration, human review and traceability.

The problem

Companies don't need more AI tools. They need better workflows.

The gap is rarely the model. It's sharper use cases, better workflows, implementation discipline and practical adoption — the work between an AI idea and a system people actually trust.

  1. 01You have AI ambition, but ideas stay scattered and unscoped.
  2. 02Tools get bought, but no workflow actually changes.
  3. 03Nobody owns the path from prototype to production.
  4. 04Teams can't tell which use cases are worth building.
  5. 05Automation gets added without human review or traceability.
  6. 06Pilots stall because adoption was never designed in.

This is exactly where Nova works. Nova starts from the workflow — then turns repeatable patterns into reusable agent-first systems on Nova Backbone.

Nova Backbone

The reusable agent-first system behind every Nova build.

Nova Backbone combines workflow mapping, intake flows, agent orchestration, human review, memory, connectors, logs, dashboards and deployment playbooks into one repeatable architecture.

It allows Nova to move faster from a scoped workflow to a working Minimal Viable Agent, and from repeated patterns to vertical products.

Nova Backbone · systemdata → context → action
Inputs01

Workflow mapping

Roles, steps, decisions, exceptions and handoffs.

Intake flows

Requests, forms, documents, files, messages and structured inputs.

Connectors

Email, documents, CRMs, spreadsheets, databases, dashboards and APIs.

Core runtime02

Agent orchestration

Prompts, tools, rules, model calls and task routing.

Human review

Approval points, corrections, exceptions and supervised decisions.

Memory & context

Project state, client context, domain knowledge and reusable patterns.

Operations03

Logs & traceability

What happened, why, what was reviewed and what was changed.

Deployment playbooks

Repeatable patterns for moving from MVA to production-ready workflows.

What Nova does

One agent-first backbone. Selected builds and vertical products.

Nova is not generic AI consultancy and not a build-anything agency. Every build, vertical product and Lab exploration runs on the same reusable system — Nova Backbone.

01

Nova Build

Custom workflows built on Nova Backbone.

Nova Build turns validated workflows into practical agent-first systems using reusable intake flows, orchestration, human review, dashboards, logs and deployment playbooks.

Explore Nova Build02

Solon by Nova

The first vertical product built on Nova Backbone.

Solon brings agent-first workflows to consulting firms — from proposals and research to deliverables, knowledge reuse and firm operations.

Explore Solon03

Nova Lab

Where backbone patterns become new vertical products.

Nova Lab explores workflow-heavy industries with design partners, validates repeatable agent-first patterns and productizes only when the operational logic is clear.

How we work

Workflow before automation. MVA before scale.

A disciplined path from a real operational problem to a working agent-first workflow — and only then to scale.

  1. 01

    Identify the workflow

    Start from a recurring operational problem, not a tool. We find where AI can remove a real bottleneck.

  2. 02

    Scope the MVA

    Define the Minimal Viable Agent: the smallest useful workflow that proves value, data needs and human review points.

  3. 03

    Build the first working agent workflow

    Ship a real, end-to-end workflow on Nova Backbone — not a slide, not a demo.

  4. 04

    Validate with users

    Put it in front of the people who do the work. Measure whether it earns trust and adoption.

  5. 05

    Scale or productize

    Roll it out across the organization, or turn a repeatable pattern into a vertical product.

Vertical products

Where recurring problems become products.

When a workflow proves repeatable across an industry, Nova turns it into a vertical product on Nova Backbone.

First vertical product

Solon by Nova

Agent-first workflows for consulting firms.

Solon turns consulting work into reusable human-agent workflows across proposals, research, deliverables, project operations and knowledge reuse.

Current Lab explorations

Lab

Rialti by Nova

Agent-first workflows for real estate, property management and investor operations.

Rialti explores how agents can help real estate operators handle property intake, maintenance requests, tenant and vendor communication, lease and document review, portfolio follow-up, investor updates and operational task routing.

Lab

Preflight by Nova

Agent-first prepress workflows for print businesses.

Preflight explores how agents can guide customer intake, check artwork, detect file issues, prepare proofs, route prepress review and help generate production-ready files.

About

Built by founders across workflow, product and engineering.

Nova is founded by Frideric Pétré and Ivan Suarez to build practical agent-first systems for workflow-heavy businesses. The studio combines advisory experience, B2B software experience and engineering execution into one approach: understand the workflow, build the first agent-first loop, and reuse what works through Nova Backbone.

Scope before software. Workflow before automation. MVA before scale.

Cofounders

Frideric Pétré

Cofounder

Consulting, B2B software and founder experience. Focused on workflow strategy, scoping, commercial design and vertical product opportunities.

Ivan Suarez

Cofounder

Product, architecture and engineering experience. Focused on turning scoped workflows into reliable agent-first systems, reusable components and deployable software.

Have a workflow that could be improved with AI?

Bring us one recurring workflow. Nova will help scope the first agent-first loop, build it on Nova Backbone and decide whether it should become a custom implementation or a vertical product.
