Unova

a small scout that finds what people are searching for

Warming the filament

What this actually includes.

01

Custom Chatbots

Assistants that know your product and admit when they don’t.

  • Tone, scope and refusal behaviour defined as a spec, not a vibe
  • Tool calling into your real systems
  • Conversation logging with PII redaction
  • Fallback to a human with full context handoff
02

RAG Systems

Answers with citations, or no answer at all.

  • Chunking and embedding strategy tuned to your corpus
  • Hybrid vector + keyword retrieval with reranking
  • Every claim traceable to a source document
  • Freshness pipeline so the index never silently goes stale
03

Guardrails & Failover

An assistant that cannot invent your prices, and does not go down.

  • Isolated answer lanes — the lane that could invent a price cannot discuss prices
  • A retrieval score floor, below which it says "I don’t know" rather than guessing
  • Provider failover across separate accounts, so one outage is not an outage
  • Conversation memory the server signs, so a client cannot forge what was said

Live on this page

Meet Nova. She’s already running.

Nova is in the corner of every page on this site. Ask her anything — she will answer a general question like any assistant, and an Unova question strictly from what is written on these pages. Ask her what something costs and she will tell you she won’t invent a number, because she structurally cannot.

That split is the engineering. Her backend crawls this site, ranks the passages that actually bear on your question, and hands only those to the model — and if nothing scores above the floor, a second lane answers generally and is forbidden from saying anything about Unova at all. The lane that could invent a price is the lane not allowed to discuss prices. Retrieval, a scoring floor, two isolated lanes, provider failover: that is what we ship when a client says their chatbot must not make things up.
