About Novus:

Novus is Istanbul and Boston based, a next-generation AI startup developing hybrid and on-prem Large Language Model (LLM) solutions for industries dealing with strict data privacy and regulatory needs. Our AI agents act like real team members, automating tasks in sales, finance, content creation, and more. They don't just perform tasks; they learn, adapt, and improve themselves, all without requiring any coding or AI expertise from the user.

At the heart of this transformation is our flagship product, Dot. Dot is a powerful AI platform that lets businesses run multiple LLMs in single platform, using an advanced agent orchestration system. This means AI agents can collaborate, share tasks, and automate complex workflows across the organization. Designed to meet strict GDPR/KVKK standards, Dot is ideal for sectors like banking, healthcare, and insurance turning AI into a trusted, strategic asset instead of just a tool.
