An AI teaching assistant on your classroom screen.

Students scan a QR code and ask from their seats. Nova answers out loud on the projector, family-filtered. Flip to a live poll in one tap when you want a read on the room.

  • No app, no student accounts. QR join in seconds.
  • Answers are spoken on the screen, so the whole room learns from every question.
  • Live polls and a podium, without the theme music.
  • 7 days free. No card.

Student Q&A

Why does the pendulum period ignore the mass?

Nova, out loud

For a small swing, the restoring force and the inertia both grow with mass, so mass cancels. What is left is length and gravity.

How a class runs

  1. 1

    Open a session

    Start Nova in a browser tab and put the QR code on the projector, next to your slides.

  2. 2

    Students join from their phones

    No app and no student account. They scan, pick a display name, and ask or vote.

  3. 3

    Nova answers out loud

    The room hears the answer. You steer, pause, or flip to a live poll when you want a read.

Three ways to use the screen

  • Live Q&A

    Students ask from their seats, including the ones who will not raise a hand. Nova answers out loud on the screen, family-filtered, with a classroom or K-12 voice.

  • Live polls

    Ranked voting of people in the room, a podium, and a leaderboard you can download. Built for a quick read, not a game-show soundtrack.

  • 1:1 mode

    One student talks with Nova directly. Use it for office hours or a lab station while the rest of the room keeps working.

Questions instructors ask

Do students need accounts?

No. They scan a QR code and pick a display name for that session. The name is not saved, and Nova does not build a student roster.

What student data does Nova keep?

Nova is not a system of record for grades or attendance. Display names are not saved. Questions are used to run the live class. We do not sell student data. If your institution needs a data-processing agreement, use the Department plan and contact us.

How big a class can join?

Instructor supports up to 50 students in one session. Nova is built for seminars, labs, and classes under that size, not a 300-seat hall.

Does Nova plug into my slides or LMS?

No plugin. Nova runs in a browser tab next to PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote. There is no Canvas, Blackboard, or Moodle integration.

What will Nova refuse to answer?

Answers are family-filtered. Nova declines requests that fail that filter, and you can pause auto-answer from the host controls.

How does the free trial and cancellation work?

Instructor is free for 7 days or 25 Nova answers, whichever comes first. No card to start. After that, Instructor is $15 per month. Cancel anytime in billing before you are charged. Department is $299 per month and is billed when you subscribe.

Can I sign in with Google?

Yes. Sign in with Google or with a school email and a password.
