Client: Personal project
A voice assistant built on Claude that I can simply talk to. Nova checks ad accounts, manages tasks, books meetings and replies to emails, all by voice.
The idea
I wanted my own Jarvis: an assistant I could speak to naturally while I work, without clicking between a dozen tabs.
What she does
- Listens and answers out loud. Speak a request, hear the response.
- Checks campaigns on request. "Hey Nova, look into this Google Ads account" returns feedback on how campaigns are performing and recommendations for adjustments.
- Works with my performance workspace. She reads insights from the AI Performance Workspace and updates my tasks there.
- Handles the admin. Creates calendar invites, replies to emails, and works with files and the browser on my computer.
How I use it
Not every day, but whenever a quick answer beats digging through dashboards. Asking a question out loud is often faster than finding it myself.
The thinking behind it
AI is the tool, not the solution. Nova speeds up the routine work so more of my time goes into judgement and strategy.
How it works
Speak
Ask a question or give an instruction
Understand
Claude interprets the request
Act
Nova works across ads, tasks, calendar, email and files
