# The AI SEO agent that does the work: ask for the outcome, Nova builds it.

Nova is the AI SEO agent inside Mentionova. Ask for an outcome and it reads your citations, Search Console and competitors, then builds the work itself.

Nova already knows your brand, competitors and tracked prompts. Ask for a result in plain language and it reads your citations and Search Console, then builds the grid, the campaign or the workflow itself.

_Illustrative product view: Nova on three requests: refresh the pages losing AI answers, get cited on the sources that name competitors, and build a workflow that notifies Slack when a rival overtakes._

## Every dashboard says what's wrong. Nova does something about it.

Acting on a dashboard still means exporting, cross-checking citations against Search Console, writing briefs and chasing people. Ask Nova for the outcome instead, and it builds the work.

## You ask for the outcome. Nova builds the work.

Follow one request from the sentence you type to the grid, the workflow and the brief it leaves in your workspace.

## Three things to ask Nova this week.

### Refresh the pages losing AI answers

Nova already has your brand, competitors and tracked prompts in context. It checks which engines stopped citing each page, reads Search Console, and returns a grid with a refresh brief per page.

### Get cited on the sources that name rivals

Ask who gets cited instead of you. Nova maps the sources behind those answers, sets the publications you can reach apart from competitor-owned pages, and opens a campaign with a move for each target.

### Hear when a rival overtakes you

Ask to be told when a competitor moves ahead and Nova writes the workflow: a weekly check of every tracked prompt that notifies your Slack channel through a webhook, only when a rival overtakes.

## Nova drafts and builds. You decide what goes out.

Nova does not publish, post or send on its own. The research and busywork stay with the agent; the judgment stays with your team.

- **Targets wait for you:** Campaign targets stay unassigned until you assign them to someone on your team.
- **Drafts stay drafts:** Briefs and grids land in your workspace; a person decides what gets published.
- **Every tool call shown:** Each reply lists the tools Nova ran and how long each took, so you can check how it got there.

## In the thread

- **6** engines Nova reads (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI and Reddit.)
- **100** tasks a month on Starter (Every plan includes a monthly allowance; each reply shows the tasks it used.)
- **0** things sent on its own (Nothing is published, posted or sent without a person.)

> Real results across both organic growth and AI search — a genuine extension of our team, and they know the space cold. That's fast!

## Questions, answered.

### What is an AI SEO agent?

An AI SEO agent is software that takes a search goal in plain language and does the work to reach it, instead of only reporting on it. Nova, Mentionova's agent, reads your AI citations, Search Console data and competitors, runs the tools a task needs, and returns finished artifacts: grids of briefs, outreach campaigns or scheduled workflows. It works across the six engines Mentionova tracks, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI and Reddit, and leaves anything that ships for a person to approve.

### How is an SEO agent different from a chatbot?

A chatbot returns text you then have to act on. An SEO agent returns work. Ask Nova which pages are losing ground and it does not describe a process; it queries your citations and Search Console, builds a grid and drafts the first briefs. Each reply lists the tools it ran, so you can check how it reached the answer, and follow-ups change the artifact it built rather than starting over.

### What does Nova leave to you?

Nova does not publish, post or send on its own. It drafts, builds and queues, and you decide what goes out: campaign targets stay unassigned until you assign them, and workflows with a review step wait for approval. That split keeps the research and busywork with the agent and the judgment with your team, which is where it belongs when your brand's name is on the result.

### What is Nova?

Nova is the AI SEO agent built into Mentionova. You ask for an outcome in plain language, and Nova reads your citations, Search Console data and competitors, runs the tools the task needs, and builds the result: a grid of refresh briefs, a citation campaign or a scheduled workflow. Anything that ships waits for your approval.

### What can I ask an SEO agent to do?

Ask for outcomes, not reports. Refresh the pages losing ground in AI answers. Find who gets cited instead of you on a prompt and plan how to earn those sources. Alert a Slack channel whenever a competitor overtakes you. Nova returns the finished artifact rather than instructions for building it yourself.

### Is Nova an AI marketing agent or an SEO tool?

Nova is an AI marketing agent focused on the work that decides whether buyers find you: search and AI visibility, content refreshes, outreach to the publications AI engines cite, and competitor alerts. It is not a general-purpose chatbot; it works from your Mentionova workspace data and the six engines Mentionova tracks.

### Does Nova publish anything on its own?

No. Nova drafts, builds and queues. Campaign targets stay unassigned until you assign them, briefs wait for review, and workflows with a review step pause for approval. Nothing posts, publishes or ships without a person signing off, and the finished work stays in the thread for you to check.

### What data does the agent work from?

Your Mentionova workspace: tracked prompts, citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI and Reddit, your competitors and the Search Console data you connect. It can also search the web and read files you attach, so one answer can combine your own numbers with fresh research.

### How is agent usage counted?

Each reply uses agentic tasks based on the work involved, and every plan includes a monthly allowance, starting at 100 tasks a month on Starter. Each reply also lists the tools Nova ran, so you can see what the work involved before you ask for the next step.
