Novus - Catch and fix usability issues automatically as you ship

This is a strong direction. Teams are shipping faster, but usability issues often show up after users struggle, churn, or complain. I like the idea of a product agent that watches continuously instead of waiting for manual QA or user feedback.

What kind of issues does Novus catch best today: confusing flows, broken states, or low-conversion moments?

Hey Product Hunt builders! 👋

I'm Mike -- Head of Product Evangelism at Pendo and a longtime member of the global product community as Co-Founder of Product Collective and, more recently, Director of Mind the Product. I spend most of my time talking with product people around the world about how our work is changing... and the theme I keep hearing everywhere is the same: we're all shipping faster, but staying on top of what's actually working is becoming its own full-time job.

That's why I'm pretty pumped about Novus. The hardest part of product right now isn't building features -- it's closing the loop between what you ship and whether it's moving the needle. Novus automates that loop, from instrumentation to insight to fix -- and honestly, I haven't seen much out there that does that.

Whether you're a PM rethinking your workflow in the AI era, a founder trying to understand if this fits your team, or just curious about where product intelligence is heading -- feel free to drop a question below! Happy to chat.

Hey Product Hunt, I’m Brett, Director of Marketing Engineering at Pendo. Tracking new website features has always been challenging. Classes change, elements move, flows get refactored, making manually instrumented analytics painful to maintain. Now my team is leveraging AI to ship at 10x speed which only makes that harder. Using AI tools to ship more doesn’t mean much if you can’t tell whether the features actually add value. That’s why I’m excited about Novus. By connecting directly to your codebase, Novus understands your code updates, then keeps analytics current as your product changes. Excited to hear what you all think and happy to answer any questions I can!

Great work on Novus, Pendo folks! The ability to identify usability issues and not only flag them but produce code to fix them is pretty awesome.

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve spent the last few months helping with the Novus beta program, hosting a webinar with one of our design partners, and recently getting the Novus community ready for launch (https://community.pendo.io/home/clubs/novus).

Fun meta moment: while building the community, I used Novus to create an engagement guide to our users.

Excited to finally share Novus with the Product Hunt community today 🚀

If you’re building something, I’d love to hear about it in the comments. AMA!

Hi folks!

I'm the product lead for Novus, and what excites me most isn't just the automation. It's that Novus closes the full loop: from automatically instrumenting your code, to proactively surfacing signals, to implementing fixes via pull requests. No tool has done this before, and it changes what's possible for product teams of any size.

Can't wait to see what our beta customers build with it — AMA!

I use Novus on Novus as one of the designers on the product team! Now that I'm bridging both design and engineering — actually building the features that I design — Novus has become an integral part of how I understand both how customers are using what I shipped, and where the gaps are. The PR reviews give me that extra layer of support and confidence, and signals help me close the loop by monitoring metrics and resolving issues, all in one place.

One of the things I love most about Novus is the ability it is helping builders ship! There is no reason to get caught up and taken off of our momentum when building a great product to have to fix something you missed and that is exactly what I am seeing Novus help people with and its awesome. Improving your product as you build is just something a small team used to not be able to do and now you keep building and have an amazing tool polishing up that final product.

What kind of instrumentation does Novus add, and can teams review or approve changes before anything ships?
