Illustrative question and community policy; the example does not represent a live answer.

The answer often exists. Finding it is the work.

Nova helps a signed-in person ask about the community’s rules, published information, or their own supported records. It is designed to decline when it cannot support an answer with the available information.

What you can do

The tools behind the everyday work.

Community answers with sources

Use eligible published document sections, amenities, events, news, notices, and website content to answer community questions.

Personal account lookups

Supported questions about balances and other personal records are resolved through the signed-in person’s authorized access.

References you can inspect

An answer can point back to the source section so the resident can read the supporting information.

Existing permissions apply

Document audiences and role-based access limit what the assistant can retrieve, just as they limit the corresponding product screens.

Answers checked against their sources

Nova checks that cited passages support the answer before showing it. If neither a verified citation nor an authorized account lookup supports the answer, Nova declines it.

Separate board capabilities

Where the board assistant is enabled, authorized staff can use the additional lookups allowed by their existing permissions.

How it works

From a resident’s question to its supporting source.

  1. Ask a question

    Start from the signed-in resident or enabled board assistant.

  2. Find permitted information

    Look up relevant published sources or authorized records.

  3. Verify the answer

    Verify support from source citations or authorized account lookups. Discard an answer left without supporting evidence.

  4. Read and follow the source

    Get a plain-language answer with its supporting references.

Connected by the record

Publishing better information makes more questions answerable.

Nova has no separate community handbook to maintain. Eligible information comes from the records and content the association already manages.

  • Update a published policy in the document library.
  • Keep event and amenity details current in their own records.
  • Respect resident, board, and management audiences in each lookup.
