In place
Where your cursor is
Help opens scoped to whatever you're touching: a panel, a link, a calculation. The explanation comes to you, instead of you going to find it.
Documentation
Docs that don't
make you leave.
No tab to open. No wiki to search. The help is wherever you're working.
Novi's documentation isn't a separate website you go read and then try to remember. It lives inside the product, next to the model you're building, and an AI Tutor turns the whole manual into a conversation. You learn in the flow of the work, not in a browser tab you left open three pages ago.

01· In the product
Where you're already working
The manual is part of the product.
Every panel, dimension and formula bar can explain itself. Open the help where your cursor is and the relevant page is already there: no searching, no guessing which version of the docs matches the screen in front of you. You read the thing that explains this control, right next to this control, and get straight back to building.
No detour
Nothing to lose your place over
You never leave the model to read about the model. No second tab, no hunting through a wiki, no losing the thread of the build you were in.
One source
Nothing to keep in sync
Because the docs ship inside the product, there's no separate site drifting out of date behind the scenes. What you read is what you're using.
02· The AI Tutor
The manual, as a conversation
Or just ask the AI Tutor.
Not every question fits neatly onto a page. The AI Tutor knows the whole of Novi (the concepts, the moves, the shortcuts) and it knows where you are while you ask. Put the question the way you'd put it to a colleague ("how do I link these two tables?") and it answers in context, shows you the step, and explains the idea underneath so the next one is yours.
Different from CLARA. CLARA works on your model: she reads it, analyses it, narrates the numbers. The AI Tutor works on you: it helps you learn Novi and find your way around. One is your analyst; the other is your guide.
Plain language
Ask the way you'd ask a person
No doc-search syntax, no perfect keywords. Describe what you're trying to do and the Tutor meets you there.
Teaches
Explains the why, not just the click
It walks you through the step and the thinking behind it, so you come away understanding the model, not just past the obstacle.
Goes deeper
Hands you to the Hub
For the craft beneath the product, modelling itself, the Tutor points you to the Learning Hub, where the real depth lives.
03· Always your version
Never stale, nothing to maintain
Always your version. Never out of date.
Documentation only helps if it matches the product in front of you. Novi's always does, because the reference and the AI Tutor ship with the product, pinned to exactly the version you're running. Every feature, every change is covered the moment it's live, with no separate site to fall behind and nothing for you to second-guess. The page you read is never describing a Novi that no longer exists.
The best manual is the one you never have to go find.
Want the craft beneath the buttons: modelling itself, from the mental model up? That's a different kind of learning, and it has its own home. Learn to model at the Learning Hub →
The best documentation is the kind you never notice you're reading.
It's there the moment you are.
The reference and the AI Tutor are part of Novi from your first session: nothing extra to find, install or bookmark. Get early access, and you'll never go looking for the manual again.
