Nova deploys your apps, investigates incidents, and fixes them with your approval. Use it in your editor, browser, CLI, or Slack.
The product value comes from the loop: investigate, plan, approve, execute, observe. That loop stays stable even as skills and execution surfaces expand.
Nova forms hypotheses, collects evidence, identifies findings, and proposes remediation paths.
Requests become multi-step workflows with dependencies, approval points, and visible execution paths.
Sensitive write workflows use approval gates, then stream progress through the same operator model.
Nova acts through skills: Astro Platform, GitHub, cloud APIs, and CLI workflows. It connects to your systems instead of pretending to be them.
Managed Nova with zero setup. Browser, CLI (astroctl nova), and Slack are all interfaces to the same managed backend. Start in the browser, continue from your terminal, get notified in Slack. Sessions and context carry across.
Self-hosted via Docker Compose. Use local model execution when your operating model requires data to stay inside your boundary. Prompt-to-production deployments, browser UI, and MCP Marketplace support.
Your AI platform engineer, in your editor. Investigate incidents, manage clusters, and debug apps directly from Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code. Hosted MCP endpoint: just add the config and go.
Nova becomes useful fast when it can collaborate with your team, act through skills, and reason with real platform context.
Use Nova for approvals, notifications, async follow-up, and team visibility through the Slack skill.
Nova gets its deepest runtime context from Astro Platform across clusters, applications, rollouts, audit, and governance.
Nova uses skills for GitHub, cloud cost, infrastructure actions, and external systems instead of hardcoded integrations.
Nova does structured operational reasoning: investigate, collect evidence, identify findings, propose next actions, and carry the incident into remediation and postmortem follow-through.
Nova creates explicit plans, uses approval gates for sensitive workflows, and streams execution rather than hiding work behind one opaque “AI completed task” message.
astroctl nova launches a full interactive chat in your terminal. Paste logs, ask questions, investigate incidents, and resume prior sessions. Slash commands and keyboard shortcuts make it a native operator workflow.

Today, Nova already ships the operator model: investigations, plans, approvals, execution surfaces, and deeper control through Astro Platform and the CLI.
The long-term story is broader platform engineering coverage, but the user does not need to relearn the product every time a new skill or execution surface appears.
Nova is the AI platform engineer. Skills are how it connects to your systems. Astro Platform is its deepest skill today.
