Shape what’s next: How could Nova better support your work?

I recently shared my experience creating a course teaser using Nova's AI Avatar feature, and I was really impressed with the results! It definitely opened up some exciting possibilities for our e-learning programs.

After experimenting with the feature, I have two suggestions that I think could make the experience even better.

1. More control over avatar gestures and expressions

While the natural hand gestures, body movements, and lip-sync were impressive, I'd love to have more control over these elements. For example, being able to specify when the avatar should smile, emphasize a point with a hand gesture, or change their expression to match the tone of the message would be fantastic!

This would give us more flexibility to personalize videos for different learning audiences and purposes.

2. More flexibility in managing Nova credits

I understand that certain Nova features require credits and that additional credits may need to be purchased. However, once credits are available in our account, is there an option to turn credit usage on or off?

For example, when I'm ready to generate a video, I could enable credit usage. But when I'm experimenting with prompts, exploring ideas, or testing different approaches, I'd like to avoid accidentally consuming credits.

Alternatively, a confirmation message showing how many credits will be deducted before proceeding would be helpful. Having this flexibility would make it easier to experiment confidently while managing our purchased credits.

If this functionality already exists, I'd love to know where to find it and how to use it! If not, I think it would be a valuable enhancement to consider.

Overall, I'm excited about Nova's potential and look forward to seeing how the feature continues to evolve. Thanks to the Articulate team for inviting our feedback!
