Nova-Mind: beta launch

What if your productivity tool actually prevented you from burning out? Nova-Mind combines project management, AI coaching and wellness tracking for productivity that lasts. Free beta.

  1. An AI assistant with evolving memory that truly knows you
  2. Complete ecosystem: projects, CRM, messaging, analytics — without the overload
  3. 50 natural-language tools + MCP server for Claude
  4. Momentum: daily energy tracking and early warning signal detection
  5. Contextual AI that truly knows you and adapts its advice accordingly

A sentence lost you? Highlight it: I'll explain it.

Today, January 12, 2026, Nova-Mind officially opens its beta.

But before talking about features, let me ask you a question.

When was the last time you finished a workday feeling truly good?

Not “relieved it’s over.” Not “exhausted but satisfied.” No. Truly good. Calm. In control.

If you need more than three seconds to think about it, you’re not alone.

The real problem nobody is addressing

Here’s what you’ve been sold for years: more tools, more productivity, more results. Todoist, Notion, Asana, Monday, ClickUp… Each one promises to make you more efficient.

And yet.

You have more tools than ever. And you’re more exhausted than ever.

Having more tools doesn't mean more success

That’s not a paradox. It’s logical. These tools are designed to make you do more. Not to help you last over time.

The result? You optimise your tasks while your energy collapses. You tick boxes while your motivation erodes. You “perform” while your body sends signals you ignore.

Until the day you can no longer ignore them (but it’s already too late).

40% of entrepreneurs have already experienced burnout. And among those who haven’t yet — how many are sliding towards it without knowing?

Nova-Mind: productivity that protects you

Nova-Mind starts from a simple premise: a burned-out entrepreneur isn’t productive — they’re just surviving.

So yes, Nova-Mind manages your projects, tasks, and clients. Yes, it’s an ultra-complete productivity tool. But its real difference is that it monitors you as much as your work.

Because your performance depends on your state. Not the other way around.

Momentum: your daily barometer

Twice a day, Nova checks in with you. Not an invasive questionnaire. Just 5 seconds: your energy level, your state of mind.

Nova-Mind Check-in

These micro-data points, accumulated day after day, paint a precise picture of your reality:

  • Your energy patterns: at what time are you truly productive?
  • Your warning signals: three consecutive days of low energy is a red flag
  • Your correlations: which types of tasks drain you? Which ones energise you?

Nova doesn’t guess. Nova measures. And that measurement changes everything.

Coaching that intervenes before the crisis

Most people realise they’re struggling only when it’s already too late. Nova detects the signals before you see them yourself.

Unusual drop in energy over 48 hours? Nova steps in:

Hey. Your check-ins show a drop in energy over the past two days. Do you want to look at what’s going on together?

Detected work overload? Nova suggests:

You have 12 tasks due this week and your energy is at 4/10. Shall we postpone what can wait?

Procrastination patterns identified? Nova helps unblock:

I notice that admin tasks consistently get put off. Is it a block or just boredom? We can talk about it.

This is not generic coaching copy-pasted from a self-help book. It’s coaching based on your real data, delivered by an AI that truly knows you.

Focus Sessions: work intensely, recover properly

Nova integrates three concentration modes:

Mode Duration Use case
Nova Focus 25 min Rhythmic sprints
Deep Work 50 min Sustained focus
Flow State 90 min Total immersion

But unlike simple timers, Nova analyses your sessions. Completion rate, interruption moments, correlation with your energy levels…

Nova-Mind analytics

You might discover that your Friday afternoon Flow State sessions have an 80% failure rate. Or that your Tuesday morning Deep Work sessions are your most productive. Actionable insights, not decorative stats.

A complete ecosystem — without the overload

Nova-Mind doesn’t ask you to add yet another tool to your stack. It replaces your stack. With a high-performing, AI-powered tool that lets you do more, faster, and in a much more comfortable way…

Smart project management

Kanban boards, priorities, deadlines, subtasks, recurring tasks… it’s all there. But with a difference: Nova understands your projects.

You tell it “I’m launching my podcast”, it generates a complete plan with phases, tasks, and concrete first steps. You just have to execute.

Time tracking is built in. You’ll finally know where your energy goes — and be able to adjust.

Frictionless CRM

Contacts, companies, deals. Nova suggests follow-ups, anticipates reminders, and stops you from leaving prospects forgotten in a corner.

During beta: up to 3 collaborators to work together on your projects.

Centralised communication

Direct messaging and Slack-style channels, integrated into your projects. No more context lost between tools. When you discuss a task, the task is right there, in front of you.

100 GB of storage + RAG

Upload your documents. Nova can analyse them and answer your questions about their content. A 50-page contract? Ask “what are the termination clauses?” — Nova finds them.

Universal speech-to-text

On desktop, dictate anywhere on your computer. Word, browser, any app. With real-time automatic translation: you speak French, Nova writes in English.

Up to 200 hours per month in the premium version.

The AI that truly knows you

Nova is not ChatGPT with a different skin.

Nova has evolving memory. Every interaction, every project, every preference anchors itself in its understanding of who you are. The more you use it, the more relevant it becomes.

Nova-Mind memory

When Nova tells you “you tend to procrastinate on admin work on Fridays”, that’s not a guess. It’s an observation based on weeks of data.

And onboarding? No 50-field form. Nova invites you to the Virtual Café — a real conversation. You chat, it learns. In a few minutes, your profile is configured naturally.

50+ tools in natural language

“Send an email to Marie to confirm our call tomorrow” — done. “Create a project for redesigning my website” — done. “Show me my overdue tasks” — done.

No commands to memorise. You speak, Nova understands and executes.

MCP server for Claude

Nova-Mind is also an MCP server. Connect it to Claude Desktop and give Claude access to all your Nova data: projects, tasks, contacts, RAG documents…

The most powerful AI on the market, plugged into your complete professional context. Very few tools offer this level of integration.

Who is Nova-Mind for?

For those who have understood that productivity without well-being is a dead end.

  • Solopreneurs who carry everything on their shoulders and sometimes feel the weight becoming too heavy
  • Freelancers who oscillate between periods of intense rush and anxiety-inducing downtime
  • Small agency owners who want to perform without sacrificing their team — or themselves
  • Coaches and consultants who help others but forget to help themselves

If you’ve ever thought “I can’t keep going like this”, Nova-Mind is made for you.
