The workspace

Four surfaces, one project

These move through on their own — pick one to explore it. Everything shares the same sources, so nothing has to be copied between tools.

01 / 05

Research smarter

Add your sources, understand what each one actually argues, and organise the evidence around your question.

  • Summaries and key arguments pulled from the sources you added
  • Highlights, notes and evidence organised by theme
  • AI answers that show the passage they came from

Adaptive by design

The same source, answered your way

Your Research DNA decides how Novi explains, how much it hands you and how it treats your references. Pick a student to see the same source explained differently.

Novi

Raymond argues the growth in provincial printing followed licensing reform, not demand.

He concedes the sample is small: 40 pamphlets from two towns.

Raymond, Print Culture, 118.

Page number for the second quotation still to check.

Why it changed

Short explanation, and every reference detail is spelled out with the missing ones flagged.

Novi never decides what a student is capable of. It records what they asked for, applies it, and lets them change or switch off any of it in Settings.

Your Research DNA

Novi adapts to how you research

Most tools give every student the same workspace. Novi asks a few focused questions, then changes the way it explains sources, how much guidance it offers, how it handles your references and what it asks you to think about.

  • Four short sections, three minutes

    Your research habits, how you like things explained, your referencing requirements and how you handle conflicting evidence.

  • You see what it changes

    Novi shows each recommendation in plain language. Accept it, adjust it, or skip it — nothing is applied silently.

  • Yours alone, and reversible

    Your answers belong to your account, are never public, and can be inspected, paused or deleted in Settings.

The essentials, done properly

Sources and PDFs

Add links, articles and reading lists. Novi keeps every source attached to the project it belongs to.

Seven citation styles

APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, OSCOLA, Turabian and Vancouver, applied from the details you saved.

Automatic footnotes

Footnotes are built while you write, with the shortened subsequent forms Chicago requires.

A quiet writing page

Your essay on a clean sheet, your sources beside it, and formatting that stays out of the way.

Source discovery

Novi proposes credible starting points for your research question, and what to verify on each one.

Private by default

Your projects are visible to your account only. Nothing you add is published or shared.
