NOVA is a free journey design tool for mapping agentic AI journeys across all 21 dimensions of the HAI framework. Dropdown-enforced taxonomy, multi-journey projects, ZIP export with AI skill files — running entirely in your browser.
Agentic AI lives at the intersection of disciplines. NOVA gives every team a shared language and a shared canvas so handoffs stop dropping context.
Specify agent behaviour at every step before engineering writes a line of code.
Map user emotion, action, and pain points alongside agent reasoning — in one canvas.
Document MCP servers, A2A handoffs, memory tiers, and protocol layers in their proper context.
Design lifecycle journeys where trust evolves and autonomy grows across stages.
Tag every step with EU AI Act risk classification and required human oversight.
A canonical 21-dimension taxonomy. Two journey modes. ZIP export with AI skill files — ready to build with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI tool.
Every step covers Human, Agent, and System layers — 10 fields are dropdowns enforcing the canonical HAI taxonomy.
One click downloads a ZIP bundle: your journey spec as a structured `.md` file plus two AI skill files — drop them into Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor and build immediately.
One project can hold many journeys with sub-tabs — perfect for products spanning multiple lifecycle stages.
Switch between visual journey graph and tabular matrix view depending on the work — same data, two lenses.
Classify each step against EU AI Act risk tiers — Prohibited, High-Risk, GPAI, Minimal — built into the matrix.
Specify MCP, A2A, AG-UI per step — designed for the modern agentic protocol stack.
Your projects live in your browser. No accounts, no servers, no analytics — privacy by architecture.
Choose per project: 2-layer (Human + Agent) for lean UX work, or 3-layer (+ System) for full HAI methodology. Toggle anytime.
Every agentic journey involves three perspectives running in parallel — what the human sees, how the agent reasons, and what the system enables. The HAI framework structures all three at every step.
What the person is trying to accomplish, how they feel, and where they get stuck.
How the AI reasons, what mode it operates in, and how it handles failure.
What infrastructure enables, constrains, and governs the agent's behaviour.
The same three layers, applied at two scales of time. Choose the mode that matches the question you're trying to answer.
For specific tasks inside a product. Onboarding, checkout, support resolution. Where agent behaviour at each click matters and failure has immediate, localised consequences.
For full customer lifecycles. Awareness through retention. Where trust evolves, channels shift, memory accumulates, and failure affects long-term relationships.
Each template ships with all 21 dimensions filled in across every step. Edit, extend, or strip back — they're a starting point, not a constraint.
New-user activation flow with sensible-default recommendations.
E-commerce checkout with fraud-detection guardrails baked in.
Multi-agent pipeline: triage → specialist → human escalation.
Awareness through retention with trust progression across stages.
Trial → Renewal lifecycle with autonomy increasing over time.
Regulated banking journey with EU AI Act high-risk classifications mapped throughout.
NOVA is where you specify the human–agent–system journey with rigour. Every export is a ZIP bundle — your complete journey spec, the exact agent behaviours, failure protocols, and system constraints your AI tool needs to generate production-ready output, not a guess.
Open a blank canvas in User or Customer Journey mode, or modify one of the pre-filled templates as a starting point.
Fill in the 21 dimensions across Human, Agent, and System layers. Dropdowns enforce HAI taxonomy; free text everywhere else.
One click downloads a ZIP — your journey spec (.md) plus two AI instruction files. Drop them into Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor and the AI knows exactly how to build from it.
Upload the spec and one skill file to any AI tool. Say what you want to build. The AI has everything it needs — no briefing, no re-explaining, no guessing.
Most vibe coding starts with a chat message and a guess. The AI invents the requirements, fills in the blanks, and produces something that resembles a prototype but reflects nothing you actually designed.
A NOVA export changes that. The .md spec file contains every decision you made in the canvas — who the user is, what the agent does at each step, what autonomy level it operates at, what happens when it fails, what data it needs, and what compliance constraints apply. The AI doesn't need to invent any of it.
Upload the spec. Upload the skill file. Say one sentence: "Build a working prototype of this journey." That's the whole brief.
The full NOVA canvas — clean, fast, and honest about what's specified versus what's still open.
NOVA operationalises the Human-Centred Agentic Intelligence framework — the first design methodology purpose-built for agentic AI journeys. The framework is published, peer-referenced, and openly licensed.
No installation. No account needed. Start designing your first HAI journey in seconds.
