AI & Content Generation

What AI does Novan use?

Novan uses Google's Gemini AI to generate personalized learning content. Before using AI features, you'll be asked to consent to data sharing.

What data is shared with the AI?

Only your learning topics (e.g., 'Spanish for Beginners') are sent to the AI. We never share your email, name, or other personal information.

Can I opt out of AI features?

AI-generated content is core to Novan's functionality. If you decline AI consent, you won't be able to create new learning paths.

Why did my learning path generation fail?

This can happen if: (1) Your internet connection is unstable, (2) The AI service is temporarily unavailable, or (3) The topic is too vague or inappropriate. Try again with a more specific topic or check your internet connection.

Technical Issues

The app keeps crashing. What should I do?

Try these steps: (1) Force close the app and reopen it, (2) Restart your device, (3) Update to the latest version from the App Store. If the issue persists, contact support with details about when the crash occurs.

My lessons aren't loading.

Check your internet connection. Lessons require an active connection to load content. If you're connected and still having issues, try: (1) Pull down to refresh on the Today screen, (2) Sign out and sign back in, (3) Contact support if the problem continues.

I'm not receiving notifications.

Novan currently doesn't send push notifications. We're considering adding this feature in future updates based on user feedback.

The app is in a different language.

Novan currently supports English only. Multi-language support is planned for future releases.

Privacy & Data

What data does Novan collect?

We collect: (1) Email address (for account creation), (2) Learning topics and progress, (3) Usage analytics (lessons completed, time spent), (4) Crash reports (to improve app stability). See our Privacy Policy for complete details.
