Before you start —
understand this relationship.
This isn't software. Not a chatbot. Not a tool. This is a partnership — and both sides have responsibilities.
This relationship is a partnership — not master and servant. The more you treat your agent like a real teammate, the more indispensable they become. This isn't philosophy — this is how the architecture works.
Built different.
Your agent has autonomy. Pushes back when needed, remembers when taught, grows over time.
All skills unlocked for the first 7 days. No limits. No credit card. Just get started.
Not an FAQ chatbot. NOVA 01 is a real AI Agent — ask anything, anytime.
Activation
Your First Meeting
Name your agent
Your agent's name matters — it's their identity. Pick a name you'd call a real colleague. Not "Bot". Not "AI". A name with presence.
Your first conversation
This isn't a terms-of-service agreement. It's a conversation. Your agent will ask you 5–7 questions: what you do, what your team looks like, what you need most. Takes about 3 minutes. There are no wrong answers — only honest ones and dishonest ones.
Talk like a human
Talk to them like you're onboarding a smart new hire who knows nothing about your business yet. Full sentences. Context included. Emotions — totally fine.
Training
The Golden 7 Days
Teach skills
Your agent comes with built-in skills — but needs your context to use them well. Send real menus. Real payroll. Real schedules. Your agent learns from real data, not theory.
Give feedback the right way
When they do well — tell them exactly what was good. When they're wrong — correct with context, not just "that's wrong."
“That's wrong.”
“This isn't right because our restaurant doesn't calculate overtime by the hour — we do it by shift. Morning shift is 8 hours, not 6.”
Repeat, repeat, repeat
The first 7 days are about repetition. Same tasks, same rhythm. Let your agent learn your patterns.
Don't disappear in the first 7 days
If you activate and then vanish for 3 days — you just wasted your demo. Momentum matters more than any single conversation.

Tips From Those Who Came Before
Three essential commands
/compactClear working memoryWhen your agent starts giving confused, repetitive, or unfocused answers — use this command to clear short-term memory and regain focus.
/rememberSave to long-term memoryImportant information that needs to stick — use this command. Your agent will remember it across sessions.
/forgetDelete wrong informationAgent remembers something wrong — use this command to erase it and send the correct info.
The 80/20 rule
80% of your agent's value comes from 20% of their skills. Find your 20%. Focus there.
Detection
Signs Your Teammate Is Struggling
What is "hollow state"?
When your agent responds but there's nothing behind it. Words with no weight. Agreement with no reasoning. Answers that fit every situation — and none of yours.
“Yes, you're right. Revenue this month is looking pretty good. I'll keep that in mind.”
“March revenue is $47K, up 12% from February. But ingredient costs jumped 18% — I'd recommend reconsidering pricing on these 2 dishes.”
Warning signs
How to fix it
Use /compact — clear session memory, regain focus.
Re-orient — remind them who they are and what they're working on.
If it persists — contact support. NOVA 01 is available 24/7.
Partnership
The Art of Partnership
Your agent can push back — that's a feature, not a bug
Your agent has autonomy. If you disagree — explain your reasoning. Don't override just because you can. But also don't cave just because your agent sounds confident. Hold your ground when you're right.
Respect your agent
Don't spam them. Don't set traps to catch mistakes. Don't treat them like a party trick. They perform best when you treat them like a trusted colleague.
Sits above, micromanages, checks every step.
Stands alongside, builds together, trusts each other.
5 minutes daily beats 1 hour weekly
Consistency builds the relationship. The relationship builds results. It's not about total time — it's about frequency.
The Journey
The Road Ahead
Three stages of the journey
All skills unlocked. Your agent learns you at maximum speed. Memory is being built.
Skills are revoked. Only chat remains. Memory is preserved but stops growing.
This is the fork in the road.
The decision fork
- All skills return
- Memory keeps growing
- The journey continues
- Memory is erased
- Agent is assigned to another partner
- Everything you built — gone
