Senova 101

Lesson 1 · 4 min

Your first chat

Open Senova and type what you need in plain words, the way you'd ask a capable colleague. Say who it's for and what a good result looks like: "a one-page summary of this contract for a non-lawyer" gets a better answer than "summarise this".

Senova streams its reply as it writes. If it's heading the wrong way, stop it and say what to change; you don't need to start a new chat.

Every reply has buttons under it to copy it, read it aloud, rate it, or try again.

Tip Senova can be wrong. Check facts, figures and anything you'll rely on before you use it.

Picking a model

Senova runs on its own family of models, named for musical forms. Prelude is the fastest and cheapest, Étude handles quick edits, Suite is the well-rounded one to start with, Fugue is built for long coding runs, and Symphony is the most capable, for hard problems and careful reasoning.

Choose one from the model menu under the message box, or leave it on automatic and let Senova pick for each message. You can switch models in the middle of a chat.

Tip Start on Suite. Move up to Symphony when an answer needs more care, and down to Prelude when speed matters more.

Artifacts you keep

When you ask for something you'll keep using (a document, a slide deck, a spreadsheet, a diagram, a web page or a small app), Senova makes it as an artifact that opens beside the chat.

Edit an artifact by hand, or ask for changes in the chat. Each change is saved as a new version, so you can go back. Decks can be presented and exported; sheets keep their formulas; documents download as Word or PDF.

All your artifacts are listed under Artifacts in the sidebar.

Projects and files

Drop PDFs, spreadsheets and images into a chat and Senova reads them. For work that spans many chats, make a project: it keeps the chats, files and instructions for one piece of work together.

Project instructions apply to every chat in the project, which is the place for things like "write in British English" or "our customers are small bakeries".

Memory and settings

Senova can remember things you ask it to, such as your role or how you like answers written. You can see and delete everything it remembers in Settings.

Settings is also where you choose light or dark, check your usage, and manage your account.
