Getting Started
A quick tour of the Nova Admin dashboard and the moving parts you'll touch on day one.
This page walks through the dashboard top-to-bottom so you know where each primitive lives and how the pieces connect.
Sign in
Nova Admin is a Firebase Auth passwordless setup, gated to a internal allow-list. Once signed in you land on the Command Center — the home page of the agent platform.
The dashboard layout
The dashboard splits into a few primary surfaces, all reachable from the left nav:
- Command Center — overview of recent activity, agents, and flows.
- Agents — create, edit, and run agents. Each agent has its own persona, model, tool allowlist, and memory.
- Flows — multi-step workflows: cron-driven, manually invoked, or triggered by events.
- Skills — reusable prompt fragments that any agent can invoke via
/skill-name. - Integrations — credentialled providers (Slack, Gmail, GitHub, Stripe, Linear, and more).
- Sandboxes — isolated execution environments for browsing, code execution, or desktop automation.
- Observability — traces and run timelines for every agent execution.
Your first run
- Open Agents and pick any agent (or duplicate one to keep the originals untouched).
- Click Run and pass a task in the chat surface. The agent will call the tools it's been granted and stream output back.
- When the run finishes, open the same run in Observability to see the full timeline: every tool call, response, model invocation, and token cost.
What to read next
- Agents — anatomy of an agent record.
- Flows — wiring agents into automated workflows.
- Integrations — how providers, actions, and auth types fit together.
