Novis does the work. ChatGPT talks about IT.
ChatGPT generates text responses. Novis generates results. Ask Novis to research a market, analyze uploaded contracts, and draft a client-ready Word document with citations, all in one workspace. With ChatGPT, you get analysis in chat, then manually build the deliverable yourself.
Any model, not just OpenAI.
Novis lets you switch between GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and more, or use Novis Mix to synthesize answers from multiple models. ChatGPT locks you to OpenAI. For knowledge work where model choice matters, Novis gives you the best tool for each task.
Built for professional deliverables.
Novis Workspace lets you create and edit documents natively (Word, notes, presentations, and spreadsheets) with AI suggestions and comments. ChatGPT can describe what a document should contain, but you still copy-paste and format elsewhere.
