Build the communication infrastructure for agents and products

Novu is the open-source communication infrastructure for AI agents and products. Novu Connect gives your AI agent a two-way messaging layer over Slack, iMessage, MS Teams, and WhatsApp. Novu Notify sends notifications to your customers over Inbox, email, and Slack. Together, they power a continuous communication experience across everything you build.

Connect

Novu Connect gives your AI agent a communication layer. It receives provider webhooks, normalizes messages, resolves identity, preserves conversation state, and delivers replies back to the original thread — so an agent you’ve already built can hold real conversations over Slack, iMessage, MS Teams, and WhatsApp.
