Start Using Novis
Step 1: Set Your Context
Before you begin, tell Novis who you are. Go to Settings > User Settings to define your role (e.g., "Senior Legal Counsel," "Product Manager") and preferences.
Novis will automatically adapt its tone and expertise to match your profile in every interaction, so you don't have to repeat yourself.
Step 2: Open Chat
Click on the Chat interface. This is where you'll interact with Novis. Simply describe what you need.
Step 3: Ask Your First Question
Type a request. For example:
"Analyze this contract for risks"
"Create a project proposal document"
"Research the latest market trends"
Step 4: Attach Files (Optional)

Novis will respond or create documents in the Workspace. You can then refine, edit, or ask follow-up questions.
