01 / Intent
Agent starts a task
The user sees which agent is working, which page is active, and what task is in focus.
Browser Surface
The visible workspace for agents and users.
Tabs, URL bar, WebView, status cues, and the agent panel stay connected in one calm interface. Nova makes browser work traceable instead of hiding actions in the background.
What It Holds
A shell that makes behavior visible.
The browser area is where users judge what is happening: navigation, active tabs, agent status, security questions, and visible results.
- Tab claims show which surface an agent is currently using.
- The agent panel and browser content remain visible at the same time.
- Prompts, downloads, proxy status, and site data appear where users expect them.
Primary Loops
NavigateOpen, switch, inspect, and return pages when needed.
ObserveCollect DOM, screenshot, URL, tab state, and visible cues.
ActExecute clicks, inputs, and downloads only with context and safety.
ReturnReturn results, errors, and learned observations to agent and user.
Surface Map
The surface is productive, not decorative.
Nova does not separate browser and agent. The shell is the shared workspace where safe actions can happen.
02 / Control
Nova checks context
The shell keeps tab, URL, WebView, and approvals together before tools run.
03 / Outcome
The result stays visible
Content, feedback, and next actions remain traceable on the surface.
