Useful General Intelligence
summary
Claims a practical agent stack: a Nova foundation model fine-tuned for UI interaction plus an SDK called Nova Act that translates natural language into clicks, typing, and scrolling, returns structured data with a structured extract into Pydantic schemas, and integrates Python helpers (parallel browsers via a thread pool, Google Maps lookups, pandas tables). Demo shows three lines to start, model updates every few weeks, and a roadmap toward agents that develop models of our minds through interaction data and RL.
