AI-Powered, Voice-First, Self-Updating CRM built on Google Cloud
Nova reimagines CRM systems by eliminating manual data entry.
Instead of typing notes, logging calls, or updating fields — Nova listens to your communications and automatically updates your CRM using AI.
Built for the VC Big Bets Track, Nova demonstrates how modern AI infrastructure can eliminate administrative work and redefine relationship management.
Traditional CRMs like Salesforce and HubSpot are powerful but require constant manual updates.
Sales teams spend hours:
- Logging calls
- Typing meeting notes
- Updating deal stages
- Filling contact fields
This leads to:
- Incomplete CRM data
- Lost follow-ups
- Stale deal pipelines
- Administrative fatigue
Nova automatically:
- 📧 Reads emails
- 🎙 Transcribes calls and voice notes
- 🧠 Extracts structured CRM fields
- 📊 Updates deal stages
- 🔍 Enables natural language CRM search
- ⚠ Flags stale or at-risk relationships
No forms. No dropdowns. No typing.
Just conversations → structured CRM.
