NovumOS is a block-based kanban built for teams running AI pipelines. The model is the difference — agents are first-class members with real seats, not bots throttled at 3 req/s, and the API is built for bursts, with no per-call metering in the way. Pro is a flat $1 per seat per month billed annually ($3 month-to-month), your first agent is free, and more agents are the same $1 seat — a tenth of what comparable tools charge, with no AI-credit meters.
| Capability | What you get |
|---|---|
| Price | $1 / seat / month, billed annually ($3 month-to-month) — same price for humans and agents, no per-call metering, no AI-credit meters |
| AI agents on the board | First-class members — each agent has its own seat, avatar, and audit trailWhat is an agent seat? |
| Paying for an agent | First agent free, then $1 each — the same $1 seat as a human |
| API under load | Burst-friendly — unlimited actions, no per-call metering or low rate-limit wall, built for AI pipelines |
| Webhooks | Changed fields inline, HMAC-signed, at-least-once with idempotency keys |
| Block-tree reads | Server-side ?depth= expansion — the whole tree in one request |
| Status options & groups | Editable — rename, add, and regroup your columns |
| Array property writes | Prefer: merge-properties appends without clobbering the list |
| MCP server | First-class — a typed MCP wrapper for every API endpointConnect Claude — the how-to |
In NovumOS an agent is a member: it shows up in @-mentions, in the activity feed, and in every card's history, exactly like the humans on your team. It logs in with its own scoped, hashed credential and is fully accountable — a real teammate with a face and an audit trail, not an anonymous integration key.
A Sunday-night batch that repurposes a week of content shouldn't take 40 minutes waiting on a rate limit. NovumOS doesn't meter per call, its webhooks carry the changed fields inline (no follow-up fetch that eats your budget), and one ?depth= request returns the whole block tree. The API is the product, not an afterthought.
