Chat Nova

What Is Chat Nova?

Chat Nova is an open-source tool for building custom AI chatbots. It supports user roles, permissions, and chat history storage, and it’s built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS for fast responses and a clean interface. Because it’s self-hosted, you keep full control of your data. It’s designed for developers and non-developers alike, whether you’re building chatbots yourself or just getting started. A video demo shows how it works in a business setting.
