#Your first steps

Open Nourva, ask a question, hand it a small task, and find the result waiting for you — your first few minutes with the Intelligence Network Model, start to finish.

#Overview

Nourva is the world's first Intelligence Network Model (INM) — a living system of minds, a hand, and a memory, devoted to one life. Getting going with it takes nothing more than describing what you want. There is no setup ritual to learn first: you open the window, type in plain language, and Nourva does the work and shows you the result. Its promise is "Your will, My hands."

This page walks you through your very first run. You will ask something in Chat, try a small task in Arachne, and learn where your results are kept so you can return to them. By the end you will know the shape of how Nourva works — and that shape stays the same everywhere you go next, because the same intelligence and the same memory run under every surface.

#What you can do in your first few minutes

  • Ask Nourva anything in Chat and get a clear, direct answer — from an intelligence that already remembers you.
  • Ask for current information and get an answer drawn from the latest sources, with a source pack showing what it was based on.
  • Hand a small, real task to Arachne, Nourva's hand on the open web and your machine, and watch it work.
  • Choose how much freedom Nourva has before it starts, using the permission levels.
  • Find your result afterward, saved as an artifact you can reopen, reuse, and download.

#How to use it

  1. Open Nourva. The main window is your home for everything Nourva can do, and lets you move between each surface — Chat, Memory, Arachne, Office, The Lab, and Hiring. Chat is the simplest place to begin.
  2. Ask something in Chat. Type a question in plain language and read the answer. If you need something current, just ask for it — Chat brings back up-to-date information when the answer needs it and shows you the sources it drew on. You can also attach a file or image and ask about it.
  3. Try a small Arachne task. When you want Nourva to actually do something on the web rather than just answer, move to Arachne and describe the outcome you want — not the steps. Keep your first task small and clear.
  4. Pick a permission level. Before Arachne starts, choose how much freedom to give it. For a first run, a cautious level like Look only or Plan first lets you see the approach before anything happens. You can change the level at any time, and stopping always works immediately.
  5. Watch it work. Arachne shows you its progress live as it moves through the task. Every action is automatically checked before it is reported done, so a "done" means the result was confirmed, with no false "done."
  6. Find your result. Whatever Nourva produces is saved as an artifact. You can reopen it, reuse it, build on it, and export or download it later — results are not throwaway.
Tip

You do not need to know which surface fits your task. If you ask in Chat and the job is bigger than a quick answer, Chat points you to the right place — Arachne, Office, The Lab, and so on.

#Tips

  • Describe the result, not the steps. Tell Nourva what you want to end up with and let it find the path. This is true everywhere, and it is how you get the best results.
  • Start cautious, then loosen up. Give a low permission level while you are getting a feel for things, watch the first run, and grant more freedom for longer tasks once you trust them.
  • Stopping always works. No matter where you are or what permission level you set, you can stop at any moment — so you can experiment freely.
  • Your results are saved. You never have to redo a piece of work to keep it, and one memory carries what you've done from one surface to the next — look for it again as an artifact whenever you need it.
