Hey, I'm Rustam building Nova🚀

Hi, Product Hunt 👋

My name is Rustam, I’m 27, and I’m building Nova with a team of three (we’re planning to launch on Product Hunt soon).

Our team has been building startups for over 3 years. 

Nova started out as a voice assistant for mobile devices, but we couldn't find any useful use cases.

Then we analyzed our workdays.

More than 8 hours at the computer, not on the phone. Constantly switching between windows. Writing emails, Slack messages, and prompts for Claude Code. All of this was typed manually, one app at a time.

Then we looked at the competition in this space. But every single one of them focused exclusively on dictation. None of them offered voice control across apps. This niche was wide open.

Since we had already developed voice control for mobile apps, we ported it to computers and added intelligent dictation.

We created a rough version and started using it. After two days, we stopped typing long texts. Not because we were forcing ourselves to test the app — it just turned out to be more convenient.

We think at a speed of over 200 words per minute, but we type at a speed of 50.

Nova isn’t just a dictation app. It’s a voice-based operating system — context-sensitive formatting, cross-app commands, and an AI assistant that’s always on call.

You say, “Ask Maria on WhatsApp if the headline is final” while you’re in your IDE, and it handles it. You dictate a random thought into your email client and get a professional send-ready message.

The hardest part isn’t the technology. It’s convincing people to try something that seems unnecessary until it proves otherwise.

Everyone who told me "I don't like dictation" and actually used it for three days, said the same thing: now typing feels slow.
