Novus is the product agent built for teams that ship fast. Connect your codebase and Novus automatically instruments, analyzes, and improves your product — no manual setup. It monitors continuously, flags usability issues proactively, and delivers intelligence for engineers and PMs.

Hi Builders!
I'm Valeria, Head of Community @ Mind the Product, working closely with the Novus team to help support the new wave of building. We've partnered with the Novus team to bring you our World Product Day Hackathon that kicked off two weeks ago: https://mindtheproduct.devpost.com/
Also use Novus daily to check on all things MTP. Excited to see what y'all think!
congrats on the launch team. I'd be interested to understand how, practically; Novus identifies signal v noise on real issues (a real bug v a housekeeping issue)

@zolani_matebese Thanks so much!! Great question, Zolani.
Novus cross-references your GitHub repo, Novus configuration, and live usage data simultaneously, looking for gaps between what's instrumented and what's actually observed.
Every flagged issue gets a severity rating based on data fidelity impact, how central the affected journey is, and whether there's a concrete fix available. And before anything changes, Novus presents an investigation plan for your approval. You see what it found, why it flagged it, and exactly what the proposed fix will do. No PR gets created until you sign off.
I like the idea of catching usability issues before they turn into user complaints. That's usually hard to see when a team is shipping fast. How does Novus decide which issues are important enough to flag?

@busra_seker1 Thanks Büşra, great question!! Novus is absolutely great for catching the issues your users face but don't (yet) report and getting ahead of those.
Novus grounds issues from first party data of every track event with built in statistical filters of what's relevant, what's significant, and how important it is. It also watches the real user sessions (through session replay) to understand what's going wrong in every journey.
The agent even understands your business and application in it's contextual Cortex it generates when you onboard to be able to figure out what problems are critical to your product and what could wait.
All of this data helps Novus to cut through the noise and give you real actionable insights, that you can then investigate and solve with Novus itself (it's pretty awesome).
Congrats on the launch! Does it also alerts if some anomaly happens in production? (because of some edge cases) Also, how frequently it checks for app health?
Novus
@ashishkingdom great question! Yes it checks every day for anomalies, including funnel drop offs or being rage prompting your AI, and surfaces that as signals. Novus will then run an investigation and post a PR to fix it too!
At almost every company I've been part of, product analytics has been the wedge between a good product and a great one.
The challenge is that most teams are flying partially blind. Critical user journeys aren't instrumented, key signals are missing, and engineering teams spend valuable time manually adding tracking, maintaining analytics, and digging through dashboards to understand what's happening.
Even when you identify a problem, someone still has to determine the root cause and implement the fix.
That's why we built Novus.
Novus connects to your codebase and automatically instruments your product as you ship. It collects the signals you didn't know were missing, continuously monitors for issues users are encountering, investigates what changed, and proposes fixes directly in code via pull requests for your review.
The vision isn't another analytics platform. It's an autonomous product teammate that closes the loop from instrumentation → insight → fix.

Hey builders!
I'm Sean, Lead Engineer at Mind the Product (the world's largest PM community and creators of Vennie.AI). These days thanks to AI we're shipping at 100x speed, but understanding what our users do after we ship is getting harder to keep up (...so many more features to track!).
With Novus, we're able to automatically tag, track and understand our users at a scale that's never been possible as a tiny team within Pendo. We can ask Novus in Slack of any question related to our product, or use the MCP to bring it into our coding agents like Claude and give it the full important context of our usage data.
I'm excited for you all to try it out yourselves. Let us know what you think, and ask any questions. We're here to help 🫡

Hey folks, I lead product for Novus and more generally design & research at Pendo. Why is a designer responsible for such a developer-centric product experience?
My view is every product & design org right now is move closer to technology again, and the best are shipping code every day regardless of their role.
Sure we can now all build more but you don't know if it worked until you have the ground truth of whether it drove adoption.
AMA!
