Getting Started
How to onboard onto NovaBuildBot in about ten minutes, entirely from Telegram.
Step 1 — Message the bot
Open Telegram and search for @TheNovaBuildBot, or use this link on your phone:
https://t.me/TheNovaBuildBot
Send /start. The bot will introduce itself and ask about your business.
Step 2 — Tell it about your business
The bot wants four things to get started:
- What's the business called?
- What kind of business is it? (clinic, restaurant, shop, consultancy — whatever's true)
- Phone number
You can send all of that in one paragraph — the bot is an LLM, not a form. Example:
"I'm Dr. Patel, a dentist in Mumbai. Phone is 98765 43210, email drpatel@gmail.com. We do dental implants, root canals, and braces. Open Mon-Sat 9-7."
It'll extract the fields, ask for anything missing, and confirm the details back to you.
Optional shortcuts
- LinkedIn URL — paste your profile link, and the bot pulls your name, role, location, and skills automatically. Great for consultants, founders, and anyone with a personal website.
- PDF or Word doc — upload a one-pager about your business and the bot will read it. Useful if you already have a brand brief.
- Photos — send up to a few photos of your space, products, or team. They'll get used on the site.
Step 3 — Confirm and wait
When the bot has enough, it shows a preview of what it's about to build (a one-paragraph design summary) and asks you to reply yes.
A real human (the NovaBuildBot admin) approves new signups — this is anti-spam, not a long wait. Approval usually happens the same day.
Once approved, the bot:
- Creates your GitHub repo and Cloudflare Pages project
- Generates the website (HTML, CSS, content, real stock photography) using your business info
- Deploys it to a live URL — something like
your-business-name.pages.dev
You'll get a Telegram message when it's live, with the URL.
Step 4 — Take a look and start iterating
Visit your site. Then come back to the bot and tell it what to change:
"Make the hero photo something more elegant" "Add a new service: Invisalign, starting at ₹50,000" "Change the headline to something warmer" "Write a blog post about post-treatment care"
Every change ships to your live site within a minute or two.
What gets created on your behalf
For full transparency, here's everything NovaBuildBot sets up:
| Resource | Where it lives | Who owns it |
|---|---|---|
| Source code | A new repo under TheNovaBuildBot on GitHub |
Nova (we host it for you) |
| Live site | your-slug.pages.dev on Cloudflare Pages |
Nova (you can point a custom domain at it any time) |
| Business profile | Postgres database, shared with Nova Hub | Yours; portable on request |
| Conversation history | Same database (so the agent has context) | Yours |
If you ever leave, we hand you the GitHub repo and any data exports — no lock-in.
