Ship agents where your users already work
Novu is an agent communication platform that serves as the missing communication infrastructure for connecting AI agents and products to every channel users live on. Whether you are building a SaaS application, an AI assistant, or a workflow automation tool, Novu provides a unified layer to manage all user-facing notifications. Its core value lies in eliminating the need to build and maintain separate integrations for email, SMS, push notifications, in-app messages, and chat platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams. By consolidating delivery into a single platform, developers can focus on their product rather than notification plumbing, and users receive consistent, timely messages across their preferred channels.
The main pain point Novu solves is the fragmentation of notification systems. Developers often have to piece together multiple providers for different channels, leading to complex code, inconsistent user experiences, and high maintenance overhead. For products with AI agents, the challenge is even greater — agents need to initiate conversations and send updates in the same places users already work, such as Slack threads or email inboxes. Without a unified infrastructure, agent interactions feel disjointed and require custom integration work for each channel. Novu makes this seamless, reducing time-to-market and ensuring that users get notifications exactly where they want them, boosting engagement and satisfaction.
A standout feature is the <Inbox /> component, which can be added to any application with just six lines of code. This pre-built React component delivers a full-featured notification inbox, complete with unread counts, archiving, and filtering by categories like projects and announcements. It supports real-time updates out of the box, so users see new messages instantly without any additional setup. The Inbox is fully customizable with multiple themes — including Novu dark/light, Notion dark/light, and Linear dark/light — allowing it to blend seamlessly into any app design. Developers benefit from not having to build a notification UI from scratch, while end-users get a familiar, intuitive experience that increases engagement.
Workflow Orchestration is a core capability that enables developers to define multi-channel notification workflows using a unified API. For example, a single workflow can send an in-app alert, an email, and a push notification in sequence or parallel, with conditional logic based on user preferences. The Digest Engine further enhances this by grouping multiple events into a single digest message — for instance, combining all weekly comments into one email. This reduces notification fatigue and keeps users informed without overwhelming them. The workflow is defined using a simple code-based approach with Zod schema validation, making it type-safe and easy to maintain. Developers can also control processing steps like cron schedules, delays, and skip conditions.
