Novus - Research Intelligence Assistant

Novus is a multi-agent AI platform that transforms enterprise R&D workflows by automating the entire research intelligence pipeline — from duplication detection to grant proposal generation — in under 3 minutes. The Problem: Fortune 500 companies lose $28 billion annually funding research that already exists. R&D teams spend months writing grant proposals across disconnected tools with no unified system to check duplication, find grants, and ensure compliance simultaneously. Our Solution: Novus deploys 6 specialized AI agents coordinated through Band SDK: 1. Intake Agent — Parses R&D proposals and extracts competitive intelligence signals 2. Duplication Scout — Scans 200M+ papers across Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex and arXiv in real time 3. Relevance Agent — Scores proposals against current industry funding trends 4. Eligibility Agent — Matches to live grants from Grants.gov and NIH Reporter, surfaces already-funded competing research 5. Proposal Writer — Drafts complete, funder-aligned grant proposals automatically 6. Compliance Agent — Reviews against grant requirements before submission Key Features: - Real academic paper search with authors, years and source links - Live grant matching with direct Apply Now links - Already-funded similar research discovery with award amounts - International funder recommendations including EU Horizon, Wellcome Trust and Gates Foundation - Full audit trail via AgentOps - Beautiful React Flow live agent pipeline visualization Tech Stack: Band SDK, Anthropic Claude, AI/ML API, Featherless AI, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, arXiv, Grants.gov, NIH Reporter, Next.js, React Flow, AgentOps, Qdrant
