From the Greek noûs, the mind
Jarvis for students. Your semester, run by an AI that knows you.
Drop in your syllabi. It learns every deadline and grading rule, warns you about your worst weeks before they hit, and briefs you every morning.
Waitlist is for the hosted app, coming this fall. The kit above is free right now.
The product
Every AI assistant needs weeks of context before it's smart about you. As a student, your life is already written down in 4 PDFs. You just never had anything that read them.
/levelPick any skill: public speaking, Java, writing. It builds a Lv1→Lv10 path and quietly weaves the daily reps into your quests. You don't grind; you just level.
/setupDrop syllabus PDFs in a folder. It extracts every deadline, exam, and grading rule, and flags your crunch weeks before they hit you.
/dueInstant answer from your actual syllabi, plus what's on deck this week.
/briefToday, this week, what to start early. Readable in 30 seconds.
/quest3 small pass/fail challenges a day from your real deadlines. Streaks included.
/captureDump notes, ideas, anything. It files everything and gets smarter about you daily.
The second brain
Syllabi, notes, goals, skills: Nūs files them as plain markdown and wires them together, so every answer knows your whole picture.
Everything lives in plain markdown files on your machine. You can open and read every single one. Delete the folder and it's gone. Open source, so you don't have to take our word for it.
The ritual
No build steps, no config, no account. One command and three moves.
npx create-nusOne command scaffolds the whole kit. That folder is the product. Every file it writes is plain text you can read.
school/raw/PDFs straight from Canvas or your prof's email.
claude, type /setupWatch it build your whole semester. Tomorrow morning: /brief.
The odyssey
Built in public. Here's what's on the bench. Loudest waitlist requests get built first.
Assignments pulled straight from your LMS. No PDFs needed.
"Here's what your GPA could be", live from your grading rules and scores.
Google Calendar connected. One screen that always knows your day.
It reads the syllabus-week chaos in your inbox and drafts the replies. You approve every send.
The oracle
No. It plans, schedules, briefs, and quizzes you. It's built to refuse writing your assignment submissions, and it respects your school's AI policy. It even reads the policy out of your syllabus.
Claude Code is the engine. It lets an AI read your files, keep memory, and act like a real assistant instead of a chatbot. Don't want to install anything? Join the waitlist for the hosted app.
Nūs is free and open source. Claude Code needs a Claude subscription (~$20/mo). If you're already paying for an AI chatbot, this replaces it with something that actually knows you.
It's the Greek word noûs: mind, intellect, the thing that perceives what matters. The ancients argued about where it came from. We just built one for your semester.
A student at UT Dallas. I built a Jarvis-style AI system that runs my own semester. The first time it warned me about a crunch week I hadn't noticed, I decided every student should have one.
