An operating system with an infinite canvas as its desktop, supporting AI agent collaboration and team shared canvases.
About Novastart
Novastart is an operating system whose desktop is an infinite canvas. You can create separate spaces for work, study, projects, travel, finances, research, and more, with apps, locations, and tabs preserved in the state you left them. Each task can use up to 10 AI agents at the same time, each with its own mouse and keyboard, and you can pause, correct, or take back the window at any moment. For team collaboration, the whole team works on the same canvas, with each member clicking and typing directly in your windows using their own mouse and keyboard, connected machine-to-machine with no server in between. All plans can open real windows of more than thirty apps such as Gmail, Excel, WhatsApp, and Notion, logged in as you, and also support any website in the built-in Chrome, as well as ONLYOFFICE and Linux apps. As for data, canvas content does not leave your machine until you share the canvas, and there is no copy of your canvas on the server; AI agents run on OpenAI's computer-use model, so when performing a task, the screenshots and instructions for that task are sent to the model provider, while nothing else on the canvas is sent. Every run records steps, clicks, and screenshots on your machine for easy auditing.
