Say “Minda” and talk. Nova asks back, works across your apps and answers out loud, and it asks before it pays.
Example: names, numbers and prices are made up
How it works
The shape of light is Nova, one of the agent's eleven looks. It takes the form of whatever it is doing, so you can tell at a glance.
01
Say “Minda”, then what you need, the way you would say it to a person. Each stretch of speech, a clip of at most 12 seconds, goes for transcription: to OpenAI with your own key, or to Minda's hosted models on your credits.
02
Short commands, like switching tabs or opening notes, run at once. A job of several steps goes to the SI agent, which plans it and shows the plan as a checklist in the chat.
03
In your signed-in accounts, in tabs of its own: mail, sheets, chats, calendars, shops. Up to three jobs run at once, each reported back when it ends.
04
It answers aloud in the voice and language you chose. Before it pays, places a call or shares a file, it shows the step and waits for your Allow. Talk over it and it stops at once.
A conversation, not commands
Nova asks when it needs to know, stops the moment you talk over it, and checks with you before anything costs money.
Start talking and it stops at once, then takes what you said as the next request. No button, no waiting for it to finish.

When something is missing, one short question instead of a guess.
YouPlan Bangkok for two in December.
NovaSure. Which dates, and what budget?
YouThe 11th to the 14th, about $1,500.
Say “speak Japanese” and it answers in Japanese from then on. Here is its own reply in each.
わかりました。日本語でお話しします。
Pick how Nova sounds, or say “speak like a kid”.

Hand over a job and keep talking; each tells you when it is done.
Each day's voice conversation is saved as a chat in History, so you can ask about it later, or turn that off.

The film
Each plays in the film at the top, with the music and both voices. Names, numbers and prices in them are made up.

Eight things said out loud between breakfast and bed. Nova does the clicking; you do the deciding.

Say it
One sentence each. Nova works out the steps.
The details
Say “Minda” before a request. Or turn on Listen without “Minda” in the microphone menu: anything that sounds like a request is then acted on. It is off by default.
Each stretch of speech, a 16 kHz clip of at most 12 seconds, is sent for transcription: to OpenAI with your own key, or to Minda's hosted models on your credits. A clip starts only when a human voice is heard. With Keep SI on this computer, Windows' own recognizer hears you instead, in US English.
Before it pays, places a call or shares a file, the step waits in the chat with Allow and Deny. You do the talking on a call.
Talk over a reply and it stops at once and takes what you said as the next request. “Stop” ends a command that is taking too long.
The mascot's own voice, a woman, man, kid or animal voice, one of OpenAI's natural voices, or your computer's. English, detect the language, or one of 20 languages.
Each day's voice conversation is a chat in History, searchable and synced like your other chats, unless you turn that off.
Every plan, Free included. Transcription and natural voices use your own OpenAI key, which costs no credits, or Minda SI credits as you use them: Free has 100 a month, Pro 2,000. Your computer's own voice costs nothing.
One of the agent's eleven looks: a swarm of light that takes the shape of each task and stays light on any computer. Pick it in the agent's menu.
Then say what you need. Nova takes it from there, and checks with you before anything costs money.
