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

As you experiment with Nova, this is the place to tell us what’s working, what feels unclear, and what you’d like to see next.

Your feedback could be about:

  • A specific feature or capability
  • A real-world use case you wish Nova supported
  • A friction point you ran into while trying something
  • Whether the credits felt worthwhile for the result
  • An idea that would make Nova more practical or useful in your workflow

Share what’s on your mind, whether it’s a small improvement, a big idea, a question, or a reflection on where Nova did or did not fit your work.

Comment below through November 6. Sharing feedback here completes the Influence action, one of the three actions needed to earn Nova Expedition recognition.

    Katie-Jordan​ Happy to share where Nova has landed for me! 😊

    What’s working: AI Avatars were a regular part of my builds until I ran out of credits. I’ve used them as coaches, guides, and even as the “employee” in a performance review course (hi Ava Tar 👋). Custom character prompts give me a consistent cast, bracket pause tags like [pause for 1 second] make delivery feel more natural, and being able to download a still alongside the video means I get character portraits for my Code Block interactions too. That one’s a sneaky favorite.

    Friction point: Credits. I build a lot for weekly challenges, and I ran through mine faster than expected. When a video has an awkward ending or one mispronounced word, the only fix is regenerating the whole thing, which costs credits all over again. A low cost preview mode and showing the credit cost before I hit generate would go a long way.

    What would make it more practical (straight from Ava Tar’s performance review 📋):

    ✂️ Edit after the video is done. Sometimes the avatar keeps talking at the end with no dialog. A simple trim tool would fix this without starting over.
    👥 Two avatars in one video. Real conversations and scenarios instead of a single presenter.
    🔁 Fix one line. Regenerate a single sentence instead of the whole video, saving time and credits.
    🗣️ Voice control. Previews sound natural but final output can come out flat. Pace, pauses, emphasis, and tone controls, plus a pronunciation fix for acronyms, drug names, and company terms.
    🙌 Gesture and motion settings. A simple slider from calm to expressive for hand motions and background movement.
    👄 Lip sync fixes. Even a basic resync button would help.
    🏢 Shared team avatar library. Approved avatars and voices everyone on a large team can pull from to keep branding consistent.
    📜 Interactive transcript in the player. Better accessibility, and learners can skim or jump to a spot.

    Big thanks for opening this up for feedback! 😍
