Notovision — NvAgent & NvAssistant
Orchestrating Real Work
Notovision delivers a full-stack agentic AI platform built on two engines: NvAssistant, the voice-first front end that listens, understands intent, and produces real deliverables — and NvAgent, the orchestration core that decomposes any request into a Directed Acyclic Graph of tasks, then dispatches purpose-built sub-agents wielding curated skills and MCP services to execute them in parallel.
DAG Task Decomposition
Complex requests are auto-planned into a directed acyclic graph — independent branches run in parallel, dependent branches wait. Orchestration that scales like an engineering team.
Sub-Agent Skills + MCP
Each sub-agent is a domain expert with its own model, system prompt, MCP tool sandbox, and skill set — Data Analyst, Researcher, Report Writer, Code Scanner, Evaluator, and more — composed dynamically per task.
Real Deliverables, Not Chat
PowerPoint decks with live charts, Excel models, audit-ready compliance reports, executable Python — produced from a single voice or text prompt and validated by a quality-gate agent.
Inside the Agent Brain
Live task monitoring streams every reasoning step, tool call, and sub-agent hand-off in real time — full transparency into what the agent is thinking, choosing, and executing as it works.
