They plan the steps. #### You stay in charge Emails, posts and payments wait for your yes.

It is software, not a person. **Do I need to know how to code?** No. You set up employees and give them work by typing, like messaging a colleague. **Will JENA do things without asking me?** No. Anything that sends, posts or pays waits for your approval, and you choose which apps each employee can use. **How much does JENA cost?** Plans start at NZ$29 a month for up to 3 AI employees.

On Team you can invite up to 5 people and on Business up to 20, give them roles, and share your AI employees with them. **How is JENA different from Mini NOVA?** Mini NOVA answers a quick question about your screen.

Press Insert, type a question about what is on your screen, and it tells you the next step. **Does Mini NOVA record my screen?** No. It takes one screenshot when you submit a question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background, and the server keeps none of it. **Will it click or type for me?** No. Mini NOVA guides you to the next step and you make the click. It never acts on its own. **Can I talk to it?** Not yet. Mini NOVA uses typed questions for now. **Should I use the Microsoft Store or the installer?** Either.

Same account, same trial, same plans. **How do I cancel?** Cancel on deskwithnova.com, not in the app. **How is Mini NOVA different from JENA?** Mini NOVA answers a quick question about your screen. JENA is a team of AI employees that plans and finishes bigger jobs for your business. **Is Mini NOVA related to the Novation MiniNova?** No. Mini NOVA is software from NOVA Enterprise Limited in New Zealand, not the Novation MiniNova synthesizer. --- # How to install Mini NOVA on Windows URL: https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/install Download Mini NOVA for Windows, get past the SmartScreen prompt with More info and Run anyway, then ask your first question. Free for 7 days. Download, the Windows prompt, your first question, and how to update or remove it. **The short answer:** Mini NOVA is an AI screen assistant for Windows from NOVA. This page is the download, including the SmartScreen prompt along the way. ### Download, then the Windows prompt The installer is unsigned for now, so SmartScreen is expected. 1. Download the Windows installer from deskwithnova.com. The file is Mini-NOVA-Setup.exe. The button below is that download.[Download Mini NOVA 1.2.0](https://github.com/novacoadmin-a11y/mini-nova-releases/releases/download/v1.2.0/Mini-NOVA-Setup.exe) 2. When Windows shows “Windows protected your PC”, click More info. 3. Then click Run anyway. ### Get it from the Microsoft Store Mini NOVA is available on the Microsoft Store as well as from this website. Use whichever you prefer. - The Microsoft Store version updates through the Microsoft Store. - The website version checks for updates itself when it opens. - Same account, same trial, same plans. Mini NOVA passed Microsoft Store certification and is published on the Microsoft Store by NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED. [Get it from the Microsoft Store](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9MTPF5H58658)[Store or website download: which to choose](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/microsoft-store) ### Before you start Mini NOVA runs on Windows. You do not need a card to start. A new account includes 7 days or 100 questions, whichever comes first. Keep the installer from this page. If a message, email, or another site offers a file named like Mini NOVA, leave it. The official file is **Mini-NOVA-Setup.exe** from deskwithnova.com. ### After you click Run anyway Open Mini-NOVA-Setup.exe and follow the steps it shows. Mini NOVA installs for your Windows user account. There is no separate server or browser extension to set up. Then launch Mini NOVA, create an account or sign in, and drag the window if you want to move it. ### The first question Open something you actually want help with: an error, a spreadsheet, a settings page, or a program you have not used before. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA, then ask in ordinary language. The screenshot is taken when you submit the question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background or between questions, and Mini NOVA does not change the computer for you. “What does this error mean, and what should I try first?” Close or hide passwords, authentication codes, and full payment card numbers before you submit a question. The screenshot is taken then, not when you press Insert. The [Privacy Policy](https://deskwithnova.com/privacy) explains what is sent and why. Mini NOVA does not provide a screenshot history in the app. ### Updates, reinstall and uninstall The website version of Mini NOVA checks for an update when it opens, so you can stay on the current version. If you installed it from the Microsoft Store, it updates through the Microsoft Store instead. Notes for the current release are on the [updates page](https://deskwithnova.com/updates). Prefer the Store? [Mini NOVA on the Microsoft Store](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/microsoft-store) explains how to install it there and how it compares with this download. It is the same account, the same trial, and the same plans. To install it again, come back to this page and download the current installer. Do not keep an old copy from a chat or a shared drive. To remove Mini NOVA, open Windows Settings, go to Apps, then Installed apps, and uninstall it the same way you remove other Windows applications. Canceling a paid plan is separate from uninstalling the app. Paid plans are managed in the Mini NOVA subscription flow described in the [Terms of Service](https://deskwithnova.com/terms). ### If it does not open - Confirm the file name is Mini-NOVA-Setup.exe and that the download finished. - If you still see “Windows protected your PC”, click More info, then Run anyway. Do that for the file from this page. - Sign in with the account you created. A trial or plan is attached to the account, not to the installer file. - If you still cannot get in, email [admin@deskwithnova.com](mailto:admin@deskwithnova.com) or use the [contact page](https://deskwithnova.com/contact). ### Questions **What is Mini NOVA?** Mini NOVA by NOVA is a Windows desktop app from NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED.

The screenshot is taken when you submit that question, not when you press Insert. Each question sends a fresh screenshot of the screen at that moment.

It is published on the Microsoft Store by NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED, the company behind NOVA. **Is the Microsoft Store version the same app as the website download?** Yes. It is the same Mini NOVA. Press Insert to open it and type a question. The difference is how it is installed and updated: the Store version updates through the Microsoft Store, and the website version checks for updates itself when it opens. **Do I need a new account or a new trial for the Store version?** No. It is the same account, the same trial, and the same plans. Sign in with the account you already have. The trial is 7 days or 100 questions free, no card required, and it belongs to the account, not to the way you installed the app. **Will I see the Windows protected your PC warning?** Not when you install from the Microsoft Store.

It remembers context, and there is no chat history list. --- # Privacy and security URL: https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/privacy-security Mini NOVA sends a screenshot only with the question you type. NOVA's server does not save the screenshot, the question or the answer. What is captured, when, and what NOVA keeps. A screenshot is sent only with the question you type. NOVA's server uses it for that answer and does not save it. The legal policy is the Privacy Policy. ### When it looks at the screen Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit a question, not when you press Insert. Each question sends a fresh screenshot of the screen at that moment. Nothing is captured in the background or between questions. The Mini NOVA server does not capture your screen. A screenshot reaches the server only when the app sends one with a question. Voice input is not available yet. Typed questions only. ### What is sent, and when A screenshot is sent only with a question. The app also sends the recent conversation it has kept. The server uses only the last 6 of those messages for that answer, and it does not save them. ### What NOVA's server stores NOVA's server does not save the screenshot. It is not written to disk, to the service database, to Supabase, or to the logs. NOVA's server does not store the question or the answer. Memory is the recent conversation kept by the app and sent with each question. There is no chat history list to browse, and there is no screenshot history in the app. ### Where it goes The question and screenshot go to the Mini NOVA service at mini-nova-backend.onrender.com, hosted on Render. The screenshot is sent to an AI service to produce the answer. The [Privacy Policy](https://deskwithnova.com/privacy) lists the providers. Accounts are held with Supabase. The website creates an account by sending your email and password to Supabase. Plan and trial records live on the Mini NOVA service, separate from Supabase. NOVA never receives your card number. You enter a card only on Stripe Checkout or in the Stripe customer billing portal. ### How to ask for deletion This website has no delete-account control. Email [admin@deskwithnova.com](mailto:admin@deskwithnova.com) and ask for the account to be deleted. The privacy policy says we may need to verify your identity first. Releasing an installation is separate. The service can unlink a device from the signed-in account. That does not delete the account. ### Sensitive screens Close or hide passwords, one-time codes, bank details, and full card numbers before you submit a question. The screenshot is taken then, not when you press Insert. Do not send information you are not allowed to share. The legal text is the [Privacy Policy](https://deskwithnova.com/privacy) and the [Terms of Service](https://deskwithnova.com/terms). --- # What an AI screen assistant is URL: https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/ai-screen-assistant An AI screen assistant answers questions about what is on your Windows screen. How Mini NOVA works, when it captures your screen, and what it won't do. What an AI screen assistant does, and how Mini NOVA handles your screen. Mini NOVA is a Windows AI screen assistant from NOVA (deskwithnova.com). Press Insert to open it, then submit a question about the screen. The screenshot is taken when you submit, not when you press Insert. ### The short version An AI screen assistant is a desktop app that can look at the screen you are working on and answer a question about it. The point is the thing you are stuck on is already visible. You should not have to retype the error, describe the menu, or explain which column is which before you can get help. Mini NOVA is that kind of app, for Windows. It is made by NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED and lives at deskwithnova.com. It is not a browser extension, and it is not a tool that drives the computer by itself. ### What happens when you ask 1. **Leave the work on screen.** Keep the error, spreadsheet, settings page or program visible. Hide anything you do not want included, such as a password or a payment card. 2. **Open Mini NOVA and ask.** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA over the work you are already doing. The screenshot is not taken yet. Ask the way you would ask a person sitting next to you. 3. **The screenshot is taken when you submit.** It is not taken when you press Insert. Each question sends a fresh screenshot of the screen at that moment. That image, your question, and a limited amount of recent conversation are sent so the answer can use what is visible. 4. **You get a focused answer.** Use it as guidance. Mini NOVA does not click the next button, change a setting, or edit the file for you. “What is this screen for, and what should I do next?” ### How this differs from pasting a screenshot into a chat You can already take a screenshot, open a separate chat, upload the image, and explain what you want. That works. It also pulls you out of the program you were in, and you often have to describe the picture again. Mini NOVA stays on the desktop. Press Insert to open it. The screenshot is taken when you submit the question, not when you press Insert, and a later question can use the recent conversation. “What about the next line?” makes sense without starting over. The answer still depends on what was actually visible. ### The screenshot waits until you submit Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit a question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background or between questions. There is no screenshot history inside the app. That is a limit, and it is deliberate. A recording that runs all day would see things you never meant to share. An on-demand capture sees the screen you chose to ask about. You are still responsible for what is visible. The [Privacy Policy](https://deskwithnova.com/privacy) is the full account of what is processed and which providers are involved. ### What it will not do - It will not take over the mouse or keyboard. - It will not change Windows settings, click through a program, or run a multi-step job on its own. Those ideas belong to the larger NOVA product, which is not released. - It will not guarantee that an answer is complete or correct. Check anything that matters, especially money, security, or a change you cannot undo. - It cannot see a window you did not leave on screen. If a detail is scrolled out of view, scroll to it and ask again. ### What people ask it about The same assistant covers different kinds of stuck moments. The guides below go into each one: - [Error messages](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages) already on the screen, including Windows dialogs and terminal output. - [Excel and other spreadsheets](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel) you can see, including formulas that return an error. - [Unfamiliar software](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/software-help), menus, settings and dashboards. Pricing, the trial, and a longer FAQ are on the [Mini NOVA page](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova). The trial is 7 days or 100 questions, whichever comes first, and no card is required to start. Installation is covered in the [Windows install guide](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/install). ### Questions **What is Mini NOVA?** Mini NOVA by NOVA is a Windows desktop app from NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED. It is not related to the Novation MiniNova synthesizer. **Does Mini NOVA act on its own?** No. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA, then type a question. The screenshot is taken when you submit that question, not when you press Insert. Each question sends a fresh screenshot of the screen at that moment. Nothing is captured in the background or between questions. It guides you to the next step, and you make the click. It never acts on its own. **Can I speak a question to Mini NOVA?** No. Typed questions only. Voice input is not available yet. It remembers context. There is no chat history list. --- # Learn the software already open on your screen URL: https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/software-help Using an unfamiliar Windows program? Ask Mini NOVA what a button, menu or setting does and what to try next, without handing over your computer. Ask about the program, menu or setting in front of you. Mini NOVA helps you understand a program you have not used before. Ask about the button, menu or setting you can see. You stay in the program and make the click yourself. ### The stuck moment New software is mostly a naming problem. The action you want exists, but the label is unfamiliar, or three settings look the same. Searching the web then means guessing the product version and hoping the tutorial matches the screen in front of you. Mini NOVA is an AI screen assistant for Windows from NOVA. Leave the program open and press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit the question, not when you press Insert. It does not need a special integration with the program, and it does not claim to know menus that are closed. Nothing is captured in the background or between questions. “What does this setting do, and which of these options should I use?” ### Questions that get a useful answer Point at something visible. These are stronger than “help me use this”: - “What is this screen for?” - “What does this button do?” - “Where do I go from here to create this?” - “Which of these settings matches what I just described?” - “What am I looking at on this dashboard?” After the first answer, you can continue. Mini NOVA keeps recent conversation context, so “Okay, now explain the next step” refers to the screen you just asked about. If you move to a different page in the program, submit again. The new screenshot is taken when you submit that question, not when you press Insert. ### A way to learn a screen without guessing 1. **Open the exact page** you are unsure about. A home screen cannot explain a settings page you have not opened. 2. **Read the labels once.** If two options use words you do not know, leave both of them in view. 3. **Ask about one decision.** “Which of these two should I pick for a shared mailbox?” is easier to check than a request to learn the whole product. 4. **Do that one step yourself.** Mini NOVA does not click, type, or change the setting. 5. **If the screen changes, ask again** with the new page visible. ### Where this is a good fit It is meant for ordinary desktop work: a program on a new job, a Windows Settings page, a dashboard someone else built, or a menu you have never opened. Windows itself is included. If the thing in the way is an error dialog rather than an unfamiliar layout, use the [error message guide](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages). If it is a formula, use the [spreadsheet guide](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel). Mini NOVA does not come with a library of tutorials for named products, and this page does not pretend it is a specialist in any one of them. The help is the screen you supply. If the labels are too small to read in the capture, zoom in and ask again. ### You keep the keyboard Version 1 explains and suggests. It does not navigate the program, press buttons, or complete the task. That is the difference between an answer and handing the computer over. Broader computer actions are part of the full NOVA idea, which is still in development and not what you install today. Treat the answer as a colleague looking over your shoulder. If it tells you to change something you cannot undo, or to enter information you would not share, stop and check. Close or hide sensitive details before you submit a question. The screenshot is taken then, not when you press Insert. See the [Privacy Policy](https://deskwithnova.com/privacy) for what a question sends. The trial is 7 days or 100 questions, whichever comes first, with no card required. Setup is on the [install page](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/install), and the product overview is [Mini NOVA](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova). ### Questions **What is Mini NOVA?** Mini NOVA by NOVA is a Windows desktop app from NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED. It is not related to the Novation MiniNova synthesizer. **Does Mini NOVA act on its own?** No. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA, then type a question. The screenshot is taken when you submit that question, not when you press Insert. Each question sends a fresh screenshot of the screen at that moment. Nothing is captured in the background or between questions. It guides you to the next step, and you make the click. It never acts on its own. **Can I speak a question to Mini NOVA?** No. Typed questions only. Voice input is not available yet. It remembers context. There is no chat history list. --- # AI help for the spreadsheet on your screen URL: https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel Ask Mini NOVA about the spreadsheet on your Windows screen: read a formula, fix errors like #N/A, #REF!, #SPILL! and #VALUE!, and check the result yourself. Ask about the sheet you already have open. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA over the Excel sheet, or another spreadsheet, that is already open. The screenshot is taken when you submit a question, not when you press Insert. It explains what it can see. It does not edit the workbook. ### Ask with the sheet in view A formula is hard to explain in a chat box. The useful context is the cells, the headers, and the error already on the screen. Leave that sheet open and press Insert to open Mini NOVA. A screenshot is captured when you submit the question, not when you press Insert, so scroll until the cells you care about are visible first. Nothing is captured in the background or between questions. Mini NOVA is an AI screen assistant for Windows from NOVA. It is not an Excel add-in, and it does not sit inside the spreadsheet ribbon. It answers from the screen you show it, then you type or correct the formula yourself. “What formula should I use for the Revenue column, using the Units and Price columns I can see?” ### Formula errors, in plain language These are ordinary Excel meanings. They are here so you can start diagnosing the cell yourself. If the message on your screen is different, ask Mini NOVA about the message you actually see. - **#REF!** The formula points at a cell or range that is no longer valid. A common cause is a row or column that was deleted after the formula was written. - **#VALUE!** Excel expected one kind of value and received another, often text in a place that needs a number. - **#N/A** A lookup such as VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP did not find a match. Check the lookup value and whether the search range includes that item. - **#DIV/0!** The formula divides by zero or by a blank cell. - **#NAME?** Excel does not recognize a name in the formula. A misspelled function is a common cause. - **#SPILL!** A formula that wants to fill several cells cannot, often because something is already in those cells. When you ask, include the broken cell and the headers in the capture. A question such as “Why is this formula returning #REF!?” is more useful than “spreadsheet help”. “Why is this formula returning #REF!, and which reference should I check?” ### Questions that use the table you can see You do not need a special command. These are the kinds of questions the screen can support: - “Write a SUMIFS for this table that totals Revenue where Region is North.” - “How do I calculate the percentage difference between these two columns?” - “What does this pivot table appear to be showing?” - “These numbers are aligned to the left. Could they be stored as text?” - “This date is showing as a number. What is Excel doing?” Mini NOVA can suggest a formula from the columns it can see. Put the formula in the sheet and check the result against a row you can calculate by hand. That check matters more for money, forecasts, and anything you will send to someone else. The [Terms of Service](https://deskwithnova.com/terms) say the same thing: verify important outputs. ### What Mini NOVA does not change - It does not write into cells, refresh a pivot table, or save the file. - It only knows what is on the captured screen, plus the recent Mini NOVA conversation. A sheet on another tab is invisible until you open it. - It will not invent numbers that are not on the screen. If a total looks made up, do not use it. - It is guidance for the person at the keyboard. Version 1 does not control the computer. ### A simple way to check a suggested formula 1. Read the formula and name every cell it uses. 2. Calculate one row yourself, with a calculator if the numbers are small. 3. If that row matches, fill down and scan for errors such as #REF! or #VALUE!. 4. If it does not match, ask a follow-up while the formula bar and the example row are both visible. The same approach works for a table in another spreadsheet program, as long as it is on the Windows screen. For errors that are not spreadsheet errors, see [error messages](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages).

URL: https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/vlookup-n-a VLOOKUP shows #N/A when it finds no exact match. Check the range, use FALSE for an exact match, remove extra spaces and make number types match. Why a lookup can't find a value you can see, and how to fix it. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED · Updated 9 Oct 2026 Bjorn Kim is the founder of NOVA and builds Mini NOVA. **The short answer:** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit your question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Mini NOVA guides you through the error while you make the click: no server or browser extension to set up, and no Microsoft 365 plan needed. #N/A means the lookup did not find that value in the cells it searched, often because of an extra space, a number stored as text, or a range that no longer covers the value. ### Ask Mini NOVA, then check the lookup Start with the sheet open. The checks below are the ones Microsoft Support lists for a #N/A error from VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, LOOKUP, or MATCH. 1. **Leave the error on screen.** Keep the message, the formula bar, or the settings page in view. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit the question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Scroll until the error and a little of the window around it are visible. 2. **Press Insert and type your question.** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA, then type what you want to know. Mini NOVA guides you step by step. You make the click. There is no server or browser extension to set up, and no Microsoft 365 plan is needed. 3. **Change one thing, then look again.** You make the change. If the error is still there, ask a follow-up with the new screen visible. Mini NOVA remembers the conversation context. There is no chat history list. 4. **Confirm the value is inside the range.** Read the range in the formula and compare it with the cells where you can see the value. Microsoft Support says the usual cause is that the lookup value is not in the source data the formula searches. If the range has moved, or it starts to the right of the column that holds the value, the function is not looking at the cell you think it is. 5. **Ask for an exact match.** For VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP, set the range_lookup argument to FALSE. TRUE, or leaving that argument out, asks for an approximate match and can return #N/A or the wrong row. For MATCH, an exact match is match_type 0. 6. **Remove extra spaces.** A value that looks the same can still fail when a cell has a leading or trailing space. Microsoft Support shows TRIM around the lookup table, for example =VLOOKUP(D2,TRIM(A2:B7),2,FALSE). In current Microsoft 365 you can enter that and press Enter. In older versions you may need Ctrl+Shift+Enter. You can also delete the extra spaces in the cells themselves. 7. **Make the types match.** A number in one cell and the same digits stored as text in another are not a match. Select the cells, right-click, choose Format Cells, then Number, or press Ctrl+1. To push a format through a whole column, apply the format, then on the Data tab choose Text to Columns and Finish. 8. **Hide #N/A only after the lookup is right.** IFERROR can show 0, a blank, or your own text when the lookup fails, for example =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(...),"Not in the table"). Use that when a missing value is expected. It will also hide a range, space, or type problem you have not fixed yet. ### Same screen, other formula errors If the cell says [#REF!](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/ref-error), the formula points at a cell that is no longer valid. [#SPILL!](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/spill-error) means the result needs empty cells. [#VALUE!](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/value-error) means a value is the wrong kind for the formula.

Check that the range still covers that value, that range_lookup is FALSE, and that spaces or text-versus-number differences are not hiding the match. **Does XLOOKUP show #N/A for the same reason in Excel?** Microsoft Support lists XLOOKUP with VLOOKUP as a function that returns #N/A when the lookup value is not in the source data. The same space and data-type checks apply. XLOOKUP does not use VLOOKUP's TRUE or FALSE argument. **Will Mini NOVA rewrite my VLOOKUP?** No. It explains the formula and the error it can see, and you type any change into the sheet. **Does Mini NOVA click or type for me?** No. It guides you step by step, and you make the click. It never acts on its own. **How do I open Mini NOVA?** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit a question, not when you press Insert.

URL: https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/ref-error #REF! means a formula points at a cell or range that is no longer valid, often after a deletion. Undo it or rewrite the reference. Steps inside. What a broken reference is, and how to repair it. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED · Updated 9 Oct 2026 Bjorn Kim is the founder of NOVA and builds Mini NOVA. **The short answer:** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit your question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Mini NOVA guides you through the error while you make the click: no server or browser extension to set up, and no Microsoft 365 plan needed. #REF! means the formula refers to a cell that is not valid, most often because that cell was deleted or pasted over. ### Ask Mini NOVA, then repair the reference Leave the broken cell and the formula bar on screen. These checks are the ones Microsoft Support gives for a #REF! error. 1. **Leave the error on screen.** Keep the message, the formula bar, or the settings page in view. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit the question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Scroll until the error and a little of the window around it are visible. 2. **Press Insert and type your question.** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA, then type what you want to know.

If the error is still there, ask a follow-up with the new screen visible. Mini NOVA remembers the conversation context. There is no chat history list. 4. **Undo the deletion if you just made it.** If you deleted a row, column, or cells that the formula used, press Ctrl+Z, or use Undo on the Quick Access Toolbar, before you do anything else. That restores the cells the formula still expects. 5. **Replace #REF! in the formula bar.** When a referenced column is deleted, a formula such as =SUM(B2,C2,D2) can become =SUM(B2,#REF!,C2). Select the cell, delete the #REF! token in the formula bar, and type a cell that still exists. A range such as =SUM(B2:D2) adjusts itself when a column inside the range is deleted, which is why Microsoft Support prefers a range over a list of single cells. 6. **Check a lookup column number.** VLOOKUP returns #REF! when the column number is larger than the range. =VLOOKUP(A8,A2:D5,5,FALSE) asks for column 5 of a range that only has four columns. Widen the range, or lower the column number so it falls inside the range. INDEX does the same thing when the row or column number sits outside its range. 7. **Open a workbook the formula still needs.** INDIRECT, and a dynamic array formula, can return #REF! when they point at a workbook that is closed. Open that workbook and calculate again. A sheet that has been deleted cannot be recovered from the formula. You have to point the formula at a sheet that is still there. ### If it is a different error [#N/A from VLOOKUP](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/vlookup-n-a) means the lookup did not find a match. [#VALUE!](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/value-error) means a value is the wrong kind. [#SPILL!](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/spill-error) means the results have nowhere to land. Ask about whichever code is actually on the sheet, from the [spreadsheet guide](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel). ### Sources Checked on 9 Oct 2026.

The usual cause is a row, column, or sheet that was deleted or pasted over after the formula was written. **Can I undo a #REF! error in Excel?** Yes, if you have not closed the undo stack. Press Ctrl+Z right after the deletion. If undo is gone, delete #REF! in the formula bar and type a valid reference. **Does Mini NOVA edit the cell that shows #REF!?** No. It explains the formula on your screen. You change the reference yourself. **Does Mini NOVA click or type for me?** No. It guides you step by step, and you make the click.

URL: https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/spill-error #SPILL! means a formula's results need cells that aren't free. Clear the cells inside the dashed border and the results appear. Steps and causes. Why a formula can't spill its results, and how to clear the way. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED · Updated 9 Oct 2026 Bjorn Kim is the founder of NOVA and builds Mini NOVA. **The short answer:** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit your question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Mini NOVA guides you through the error while you make the click: no server or browser extension to set up, and no Microsoft 365 plan needed. #SPILL! means the formula wants to fill several cells and something is already in the way, or the result would run off the sheet. ### Ask Mini NOVA, then clear the spill Select the cell that shows #SPILL! so the dashed border is on screen. Microsoft Support uses that border to show where the formula wanted to put its results. 1. **Leave the error on screen.** Keep the message, the formula bar, or the settings page in view. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit the question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Scroll until the error and a little of the window around it are visible. 2. **Press Insert and type your question.** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA, then type what you want to know.

If the error is still there, ask a follow-up with the new screen visible. Mini NOVA remembers the conversation context. There is no chat history list. 4. **Select the cells that are in the way.** Select the cell with #SPILL!. A dashed border shows the intended spill range, and an error-checking alert appears. Choose Select Obstructing Cells. Delete or move whatever is in those cells. When the blockage is gone, the formula spills, or a PivotTable expands, into that range. 5. **Unmerge cells inside the border.** A spilled formula cannot land on merged cells. Unmerge them, or move the formula to a range that does not cross a merge. Select Obstructing Cells finds the merged cells as well. 6. **Move the formula out of a table.** Spilled array formulas are not supported inside a table. Move the formula out of the table, or select the table and use Table Design, then Tools, then Convert to range. 7. **Shrink a lookup that covers a whole column.** A formula such as =VLOOKUP(A:A,A:C,2,FALSE) tries to look up every row and spill more than a million results, which runs off the sheet. Microsoft Support gives three replacements: look up only the rows you need, such as A2:A7; look up the single cell on that row, such as A2, and copy the formula down; or use the @ operator, as in =VLOOKUP(@A:A,A:C,2,FALSE), and copy down. The single-cell and @ forms work in a table. The whole-block form does not. ### Nearby formula errors [#N/A](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/vlookup-n-a) is a lookup that found nothing. [#REF!](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/ref-error) is a reference that no longer exists. [#VALUE!](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/value-error) is a value of the wrong kind. The [spreadsheet guide](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel) is the place to start when the code on the sheet is none of these. ### Sources Checked on 9 Oct 2026.

Also check for merged cells and for a formula that sits inside a table. **Why does a whole-column VLOOKUP show #SPILL! in Excel?** Passing a whole column as the lookup value makes the formula try to return a result for every row. Limit the lookup to the rows you need, look up one cell and copy down, or use @. **Can Mini NOVA clear the spill range for me?** No. It can tell you which cells on the screen are in the way. You delete or move them. **Does Mini NOVA click or type for me?** No. It guides you step by step, and you make the click.

Why a formula can't calculate, and how to find the cell that's wrong. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED · Updated 9 Oct 2026 Bjorn Kim is the founder of NOVA and builds Mini NOVA. **The short answer:** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit your question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Mini NOVA guides you through the error while you make the click: no server or browser extension to set up, and no Microsoft 365 plan needed. #VALUE! means something is wrong with the way the formula is typed, or with the cells it uses, often text where a number is required. ### Ask Mini NOVA, then find the bad value Microsoft Support calls #VALUE! a general error: the formula's typing is wrong, or a referenced cell is. The checks below are the ones on that page. 1. **Leave the error on screen.** Keep the message, the formula bar, or the settings page in view. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit the question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background.

If the error is still there, ask a follow-up with the new screen visible. Mini NOVA remembers the conversation context. There is no chat history list. 4. **Step through the formula.** Select the cell, then on the Formulas tab choose Evaluate Formula and press Evaluate. Each press calculates one piece. Stop on the piece that turns into #VALUE!. That is the argument to fix. A cell that looks blank can still hold a space, and Evaluate Formula is where that space shows up. 5. **Find text where a number is expected.** Text or a special character in a referenced cell can cause #VALUE!. ISTEXT on those cells reports TRUE where the cell holds text. ISTEXT does not fix the cell. It only finds candidates. Then retype the number, or change the cell so it is a real number rather than digits stored as text. 6. **Use a function instead of + or *.** A formula that adds or multiplies with + or * can fail when one cell contains text. Microsoft Support says to use a function instead. SUM ignores text in a range where =A1+A2 does not. The same idea applies to PRODUCT in place of *. 7. **Remove spaces that only look blank.** Select the cells the formula uses. If a cell contains only a space, delete it. Hidden spaces are a common reason a cell looks empty and still breaks the formula. 8. **Add IFERROR only after the formula works.** IFERROR can replace #VALUE! with text, 0, or a blank. Microsoft Support says to add that wrapper after you know the formula is right. If you add it first, it hides the problem and you cannot tell whether the formula works. ### Do not mix it up with the other codes [#N/A](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/vlookup-n-a) means a lookup found nothing. [#REF!](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/ref-error) means a reference was deleted. [#SPILL!](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/spill-error) means the results are blocked.

Text in a numeric calculation, and cells that contain spaces, are common causes. **Why does #VALUE! show up in Excel VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP?** The lookup can pass a value of the wrong kind into the rest of the formula, or the formula around it can be typed incorrectly. Evaluate Formula shows which argument fails. A lookup that simply finds nothing is #N/A, which has its own checks. **Does Mini NOVA change the formula that shows #VALUE!?** No. It tells you what to check on the screen you have open.

It explains the message, and you apply the fix. Ask about an error that is already on your screen. Mini NOVA is an AI screen assistant for Windows. When an error is visible, you can ask what it means and what to try first. You still make the change. Mini NOVA does not. ### Read the message before you close it Most error dialogs are useless once they are gone, because the exact wording is the clue. Leave it open. Note which program showed it and what you clicked just before. Then ask Mini NOVA while that dialog, and a little of the window behind it, is on screen. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. A fresh screenshot is captured when you submit the question, not when you press Insert. If the message mentions a file path, a code, or a line number, keep that text in view. Close or hide a password, a one-time code, or a card number before you submit. “What does this error mean, and what should I check first?” ### How to work through it 1. **Keep the exact text.** A paraphrase drops the code or the file name that makes the message specific. 2. **Name the program.** The same words mean different things in Windows, a browser, Excel, or a terminal. 3. **Ask for one next step.** “What should I try first?” is more useful than “fix this”. 4. **Change one thing, then look again.** If the message is still there, ask a follow-up with the new screen visible. Mini NOVA keeps recent conversation context, so you can say “that did not change it”. 5. **Stop if the step is destructive.** Deleting files, turning security features off, or pasting commands you do not understand is your decision. Check the suggestion before you run it. ### Windows and setup messages Windows dialogs often appear while you are installing software, opening a download, or changing a setting. Mini NOVA can explain the dialog that is open. It cannot see settings pages you have not opened. One example you may meet while installing Mini NOVA itself is SmartScreen: “Windows protected your PC”, sometimes with an unknown publisher. That case is covered in the [install guide](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/install), including when to continue and when to stop. For any other Windows message, leave it on screen and ask about that message, not about a different error you found in a search result. “Windows is showing this dialog. What is it warning me about?” ### Programs, terminals and code Application errors, setup failures and terminal output are the same kind of problem: a specific message plus the window around it. A build that says a module could not be resolved is not something Mini NOVA fixes by editing the project. It can tell you what the visible lines are pointing at, such as a missing package or a path, and you decide what to change. Useful questions stay tied to the text: - “Which line in this terminal output is the actual error?” - “This installer stopped on this message. What is it asking me to do?” - “What does this exception mean in the program I have open?” Spreadsheet errors such as #REF! and #VALUE! have their own notes on the [Excel page](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel), because those codes have stable meanings. A one-off dialog does not. Show the dialog. ### What the answer is, and is not Mini NOVA returns an explanation and a suggested next step. Version 1 does not click through the dialog, edit a setting, or run a command. The larger NOVA product, which would act across the computer, is not available. Answers can be wrong or incomplete. If the message is about security, data loss, or something you cannot undo, treat the answer as a starting point and confirm it. That limit is also in the [Terms of Service](https://deskwithnova.com/terms). If the “error” is really an unfamiliar screen with no error text, the [software help guide](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/software-help) is the better fit. How the capture works is explained on the [AI screen assistant page](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/ai-screen-assistant). ### Questions **What is Mini NOVA?** Mini NOVA by NOVA is a Windows desktop app from NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED. It is not related to the Novation MiniNova synthesizer. **Does Mini NOVA act on its own?** No. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA, then type a question. The screenshot is taken when you submit that question, not when you press Insert. Each question sends a fresh screenshot of the screen at that moment. Nothing is captured in the background or between questions. It guides you to the next step, and you make the click. It never acts on its own. **Can I speak a question to Mini NOVA?** No. Typed questions only. Voice input is not available yet. It remembers context.

URL: https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages/msvcp140-dll-not-found MSVCP140.dll is part of Microsoft's Visual C++ runtime. Reinstall the program or get the Redistributable from Microsoft. Here is how, safely. What the missing file is, and how to get it from Microsoft. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED · Updated 9 Oct 2026 Bjorn Kim is the founder of NOVA and builds Mini NOVA. **The short answer:** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit your question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Mini NOVA guides you through the dialog while you make the click: no server or browser extension to set up, and no Microsoft 365 plan needed. The program needs MSVCP140.dll, the Visual C++ 14 standard library, and Windows cannot find it. ### Ask Mini NOVA, then restore the runtime Leave the dialog open. Microsoft's own note on a missing runtime library is to reinstall the program, or to install the Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft. Do not download the DLL on its own from a random site. 1. **Leave the error on screen.** Keep the message, the formula bar, or the settings page in view. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit the question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Scroll until the error and a little of the window around it are visible. 2. **Press Insert and type your question.** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA, then type what you want to know. Mini NOVA guides you step by step. You make the click. There is no server or browser extension to set up, and no Microsoft 365 plan is needed. 3. **Change one thing, then look again.** You make the change. If the error is still there, ask a follow-up with the new screen visible. Mini NOVA remembers the conversation context. There is no chat history list. 4. **Reinstall the program that showed the dialog.** Microsoft Learn says that when Windows cannot find a required redistributable DLL, the message is along the lines of: the application failed to start because the library was not found, and reinstalling the application may fix it. Use the program's own installer, from the publisher, so it can put its runtime back. 5. **Install the Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft.** If reinstalling the program does not clear it, install the latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable. Microsoft Learn names msvcp140.dll as version 14 of that C++ standard library, and publishes x64, x86, and ARM64 packages. A 32-bit program needs the x86 package, including on a 64-bit PC. A 64-bit program needs the x64 package. An ARM64 program needs the ARM64 package. The downloads page is the source. A site that offers the DLL by itself is not. 6. **Repair it if a copy is already installed.** The Redistributable supports /repair as well as /install. In Settings, under Apps, you can also select the installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and choose Modify or Repair when that option is there. You may get a User Account Control prompt. That prompt is the installer asking to run. Read it before you allow it. ### Other dialogs on the same PC A different message needs a different check. [This app can't run on your PC](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages/this-app-cant-run) is about a program Windows will not start. [Printer offline](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages/printer-offline) is a printer Windows has marked offline. The [error messages guide](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages) is for a dialog that is already on screen. ### Sources Checked on 9 Oct 2026.

Questions about the account itself go to [admin@deskwithnova.com](mailto:admin@deskwithnova.com). - [Deployment in Visual C++ (Microsoft Learn), which names msvcp140.dll](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/deployment-in-visual-cpp?view=msvc-170) - [Redistribute Visual C++ Files (Microsoft Learn), including the missing-DLL message](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/redistributing-visual-cpp-files?view=msvc-170) - [Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads (Microsoft Learn)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170) ### Questions **What is MSVCP140.dll?** Microsoft Learn describes msvcp140.dll as version 14 of the Visual C++ standard library. Programs built with the Visual C++ 14 toolset, from Visual Studio 2015 onward, can need that file. It is installed by the Visual C++ Redistributable, not by copying a DLL from the web. **Which Visual C++ download fixes MSVCP140.dll was not found?** Use the latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable from Microsoft Learn, and match the program: x86 for a 32-bit program, x64 for a 64-bit program, ARM64 for an ARM64 program. If you are not sure which build the program is, check the publisher's install notes before you guess. **Can Mini NOVA install the missing DLL for me?** No. It explains the dialog that is open and the next step. You run the publisher's installer or Microsoft's Redistributable yourself. **Does Mini NOVA click or type for me?** No. It guides you step by step, and you make the click. It never acts on its own. **How do I open Mini NOVA?** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit a question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. **Does Mini NOVA keep a chat history?** It remembers the context of the conversation. There is no chat history list. **Is Mini NOVA free to try?** 7 days or 100 questions free. No card required. **Is Mini NOVA the Novation MiniNova synth?** No. Mini NOVA by NOVA is a Windows screen assistant from NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED. It is not related to the Novation MiniNova synthesizer. **Who do I contact about Mini NOVA?** Email admin@deskwithnova.com. --- # What does "This app can't run on your PC" mean? URL: https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages/this-app-cant-run Windows won't start the program and doesn't say why. Check the publisher's download and your PC's system type, in order. Step by step. What Windows is telling you, and what to check first. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED · Updated 9 Oct 2026 Bjorn Kim is the founder of NOVA and builds Mini NOVA. **The short answer:** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit your question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Mini NOVA guides you through the dialog while you make the click: no server or browser extension to set up, and no Microsoft 365 plan needed. The dialog means Windows will not start that program, and it tells you to ask the software publisher for a version for your PC. ### Ask Mini NOVA, then match the program to the PC The dialog is vague on purpose. It does not say whether the file is the wrong build, an older program, or a damaged download. Mini NOVA can explain the dialog you leave open. It does not inspect the program file itself. 1. **Leave the error on screen.** Keep the message, the formula bar, or the settings page in view. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit the question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Scroll until the error and a little of the window around it are visible. 2. **Press Insert and type your question.** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA, then type what you want to know. Mini NOVA guides you step by step. You make the click. There is no server or browser extension to set up, and no Microsoft 365 plan is needed. 3. **Change one thing, then look again.** You make the change. If the error is still there, ask a follow-up with the new screen visible. Mini NOVA remembers the conversation context. There is no chat history list. 4. **Read the dialog, then note your system type.** The message tells you to check with the software publisher for a version for your PC. Before you do that, open Start, then Settings, then System, then About. Under Device specifications, System type shows the operating system and the processor. Microsoft says Windows 11 is 64-bit only. An ARM PC lists an ARM based processor there. Write down that line so you can ask the publisher for a build that matches it. 5. **Get the program again from the publisher.** If you downloaded the app outside the Microsoft Store, Microsoft's compatibility guide says to check the publisher's website for a version that works with your Windows. For a Store app, check for an update in the Microsoft Store. Do not replace the file with a copy from a download site you do not trust. A file that was only partly downloaded can also fail to start, so a fresh copy from the publisher is the check. 6. **Run the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter for an older app.** Microsoft's guide for older apps says you might see a message such as "This app or game can't run on your device" after a Windows upgrade. If the publisher has no newer version, open Start, then Settings, then System, then Troubleshoot, then Other troubleshooters, and run Program Compatibility Troubleshooter. Follow the prompts. That troubleshooter is for an older program. It does not turn a program built for a different kind of PC into one your PC can run. ### A missing DLL is a different dialog If the message names [MSVCP140.dll](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages/msvcp140-dll-not-found), follow that page: reinstall the program or install Microsoft's Visual C++ Redistributable. A printer that Windows has marked offline is covered under [printer offline](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages/printer-offline). For any other wording, leave that dialog open and use the [error messages guide](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages). ### Sources Checked on 9 Oct 2026.

The dialog itself says to check with the software publisher for a version for your PC. It does not name a single cause, so the useful checks are your System type and a fresh copy from the publisher. **Does Mini NOVA know if the file is 32-bit, 64-bit, or ARM?** No. It sees the dialog on your screen. It does not open the program file. You read System type under Settings, System, About, and you match that to the build the publisher offers. **Should I turn security off so the app will start?** No. The documented checks are a publisher build that matches the PC, and the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter for an older app. The install guide covers a different prompt, Windows protected your PC, for Mini NOVA's own installer. **Does Mini NOVA click or type for me?** No. It guides you step by step, and you make the click. It never acts on its own. **How do I open Mini NOVA?** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit a question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. **Does Mini NOVA keep a chat history?** It remembers the context of the conversation.

URL: https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages/printer-offline Windows 11 can mark a printer offline while it is on. Follow Microsoft's checklist, from the Get Help troubleshooter to the print queue. Why Windows says offline, and how to bring the printer back. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA ENTERPRISE LIMITED · Updated 9 Oct 2026 Bjorn Kim is the founder of NOVA and builds Mini NOVA. **The short answer:** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit your question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Mini NOVA guides you through the Printers page while you make the click: no server or browser extension to set up, and no Microsoft 365 plan needed. Windows is reporting the printer as offline. Microsoft's checklist starts with the Get Help printer troubleshooter, then power, Wi-Fi, the queue, and the Print Spooler. ### Ask Mini NOVA, then walk Microsoft's checklist Open Start, then Settings, then Bluetooth & devices, then Printers & scanners, and leave that page up. Mini NOVA can guide the Windows screen you have open. It cannot see the printer's own buttons or a paper jam. 1. **Leave the error on screen.** Keep the message, the formula bar, or the settings page in view. Press Insert to open Mini NOVA. The screenshot is taken when you submit the question, not when you press Insert. Nothing is captured in the background. Scroll until the error and a little of the window around it are visible. 2. **Press Insert and type your question.** Press Insert to open Mini NOVA, then type what you want to know. Mini NOVA guides you step by step. You make the click. There is no server or browser extension to set up, and no Microsoft 365 plan is needed. 3. **Change one thing, then look again.** You make the change. If the error is still there, ask a follow-up with the new screen visible. Mini NOVA remembers the conversation context. There is no chat history list. 4. **Run the printer troubleshooter in Get Help.** On Windows 11, Microsoft says to start with the automated printer troubleshooter in the Get Help app. It runs diagnostics and tries to fix the common cases. If it does not clear the offline state, continue with the steps below. 5. **Power-cycle the printer and check Wi-Fi.** Turn the printer off, unplug it, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in, and turn it on. For a Wi-Fi printer, Microsoft says to confirm it is on the same Wi-Fi network as the PC. That check is on the printer's own menu or in its manual, which is not on the Windows screen. 6. **Set it as the default and clear the queue.** In Printers & scanners, select the printer, then Set as default. If Set as default is missing, turn off Let Windows manage my default printer, then set the default yourself. Open the print queue from the same page and choose Cancel all if jobs are waiting. 7. **Restart Print Spooler.** Search the taskbar for services and open Services. Find Print Spooler, right-click it, and choose Restart. Then try a one-page print. 8. **Remove the printer and add it again.** In Printers & scanners, select the printer, choose Remove, and confirm. Then, with the printer on and connected, choose Add device next to Add a printer or scanner and follow the prompts. If it is still offline, restart the PC. Microsoft says that refresh can restore the pieces Windows uses to talk to the printer. ### Program dialogs are a different problem [MSVCP140.dll was not found](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages/msvcp140-dll-not-found) and [This app can't run on your PC](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages/this-app-cant-run) are program errors, not a printer status.

Microsoft's page tells you to run the Get Help printer troubleshooter, power-cycle the printer, confirm Wi-Fi, set the default, clear the queue, restart Print Spooler, and remove and add the printer again. **Where is the printer offline setting in Windows 11?** Open Start, then Settings, then Bluetooth & devices, then Printers & scanners, and select the printer. The queue, default, and remove actions are on that page. Windows 10 uses Settings, then Devices, then Printers & scanners, and its queue menu can also clear Pause Printing and Use Printer Offline. **Can Mini NOVA see that the printer has paper or is on the right Wi-Fi?** No. It guides the Windows page on your screen.

Your text is not sent to them or to NOVA. ### Cite a source in four steps #### Highlight the claim Select the sentence you want a source for. #### Tap Find sources Open More on NOVA Ink's bar and choose Find sources. #### Read the results Open the paper that fits best and check it supports your point. #### Copy the citation Pick APA, MLA or Chicago and copy or insert it. ### Read before you cite Find sources matches your words to published papers. A match is a place to start, not proof that the paper says what you need. Open it and read the relevant part before you cite it. If nothing fits, NOVA Ink offers a Google Scholar search with the same terms. Need the rules for each style?

Every result is a published record from Crossref or OpenAlex with a DOI link you can open. NOVA Ink never makes up a reference. **Which citation styles are there?** APA 7, MLA 9 and Chicago 18 (author-date). **What is sent when I tap Find sources?** A few search terms picked on your device, sent straight from your browser to Crossref and OpenAlex. Your text is not sent to them or to NOVA. **Is this a plagiarism checker?** No. Find sources helps you back up a claim. It doesn't check your text against other writing. **Does it find websites and books?** It searches research databases, so results are mostly journal articles and other published papers. ### More from NOVA Ink [Style #### Check how natural it sounds A style score with the reasons.

It is a writing style check, not an AI detector, and it can't predict what other tools will say. #### Stock phrases Lines like "it is important to note that" that add words but no meaning. #### Filler openers "Furthermore" and "In today's world" at the start of sentence after sentence. #### Rhythm and hedging Sentences that are all the same length, and too many "might" and "perhaps". ### Use it in three steps #### Highlight your text Select a paragraph you wrote. #### Check how natural it sounds NOVA Ink shows a score, a one-word verdict and the reasons. #### Make it more natural Tap once for a rewrite, or fix the flagged phrases yourself. ### Why stiff writing happens Busy writers reach for safe phrases, and so do AI tools. The result reads like a form letter. Cutting the filler and varying sentence length makes writing sound like a person. For practical tips, read [how to make your writing sound natural](https://deskwithnova.com/blog/how-to-make-writing-sound-natural). ### Questions **Is the natural check an AI detector?** No. It is a writing style check. It shows why text sounds stiff and can't predict what an AI detector or another tool will say. **Is my text sent anywhere for the score?** No. The score runs on your device. If you tap Make it more natural, the text is sent to give you the rewrite. **Can I use it for school work?** Use it to improve your own writing, and follow your school's rules on AI tools. **What does the score mean?** A higher score means fewer of the patterns that make writing sound stiff.

Prices, approvals and who each suits. Five apps that give a small business AI employees, compared on what they do, how they keep you in control, and what they cost. Updated 22 October 2026 · Facts checked 22 October 2026 **The short answer:** JENA is our pick for small businesses: a team you shape from 12 roles or your own, 36 app connections, work shared between employees, and approval before anything is sent, posted or paid, with no surprise bills. Lindy suits teams in Slack, Sintra and Marblism offer fixed ready-made helpers, and Relevance AI is sold to larger companies. ### Side by side | | JENA | Lindy | Sintra | Marblism | Relevance AI | | Approach | A team you shape from 12 roles or your own | AI agents that work as teammatesLI1 | 12 ready-made AI helpersSI1 | 7 ready-made AI employees, each with one jobMB1 | An AI workforce for larger companiesRA1 | | Starting price | NZ$29 a month | Free with US$50 of credits for 7 days; Team from US$49.99 per user a monthLI1 | From US$15.60 a month on a 12-month plan, or US$48.50 for one monthSI1 | US$24 a month billed yearly, or US$44 monthlyMB1 | Through sales onlyRA1 | | What you get | Up to 3 AI employees, 36 app connections, approvals | 5,000 credits a month on TeamLI1 | All 12 helpers and 250 credits a monthSI1 | All 7 employees and 50 hours of AI work a monthMB1 | CustomRA1 | | When usage runs out | Work pauses until next month or an upgrade | Actions pause instead of billing overageLI1 | Top-ups availableSI1 | Not stated on the pricing page | Custom | ### How we compared them We looked at each app's own website on 22 October 2026: what you get, what it costs to start, and what happens when you reach your limit. We make JENA, so read this with that in mind: we have kept the facts to what each company publishes, and said where another app fits a different need. ### 1. JENA: best overall for small businesses You build the team: pick from 12 ready-made roles or write your own, brief them in plain words, and they split the work and hand tasks to each other. It connects to 36 apps, and you choose which apps each employee can use. Anything that sends, posts or pays waits for your approval, every action is recorded, and when your monthly allowance runs out work simply pauses, so there are no surprise bills. A live office shows who is working on what. [See JENA](https://deskwithnova.com/jena). ### 2. Lindy Good for teams that live in Slack and want agents that work there. Lindy is priced per active user with pooled credits, and pauses rather than charging overage when credits run out.[LI1](#src-LI1) ### 3. Sintra Good for a low monthly price and ready-made helpers. All plans include 12 helpers and 250 credits a month; the lowest price needs a 12-month plan.[SI1](#src-SI1) ### 4. Marblism Good if you want seven specialists with set jobs, from an executive assistant to a receptionist that answers calls. Every plan includes all seven and 50 hours of AI work a month.[MB1](#src-MB1) ### 5. Relevance AI Aimed at larger companies building an AI workforce with a sales-led setup. Pricing is available through its sales team.[RA1](#src-RA1) ### How to choose - **Want control over every action?** Look for approvals before sending, posting or paying. - **Want a team that fits your business?** Look for roles you can shape, not only fixed helpers. - **Watching costs?** Check what happens when you reach your limit, and whether the low price needs a long commitment. ### Sources Competitor facts checked on their own sites on 22 October 2026.

Lindy suits teams in Slack, and Sintra and Marblism offer fixed ready-made helpers. **What is an AI employee?** AI software with a job title, skills and instructions that does real tasks for your business. It is software, not a person. **How much do AI employee apps cost?** Starting prices on these apps range from about US$15.60 a month on a long plan to around US$50 a month, with enterprise options through sales. **Which AI employee app asks before acting?** JENA makes anything that sends, posts or pays wait for your approval. Check each other app's settings for how it handles approvals. --- # JENA vs ChatGPT URL: https://deskwithnova.com/compare/jena-vs-chatgpt JENA vs ChatGPT for small business. ChatGPT is one assistant you chat with. JENA is a team of AI employees that plans work and asks before acting. ChatGPT is one assistant you chat with. JENA is a team of AI employees that plans the work, shares it out and asks you before anything goes out. Updated 22 October 2026 · 5 minute read **The short answer:** For running a business, JENA does more of the work. Instead of one chat you keep prompting, you get a team of AI employees with roles who remember your business, split a job between them, use your apps and finish it, then wait for your yes before anything is sent, posted or paid. ChatGPT is still handy for a quick one-off question. ### Side by side | | JENA | ChatGPT | | What it is | A team of AI employees for your business | A general AI assistant you chat with | | How you use it | Give a job to an employee, like a colleague | Start a chat and write a prompt | | Roles | Each employee has a job title, skills and instructions | One assistant; you can set custom instructions | | Shared work | Employees split a job and hand tasks to each other | One conversation at a time | | Before it acts | Sends, posts and payments wait for your yes, every time | Depends on the feature you use | | Your apps | 36 apps, with access set per employee | Connectors and apps, set for your account | | Seeing progress | A live office and a list of every action | The chat history | | Where it runs | A Windows app | Web, desktop and phone apps | | Best for | Ongoing business work you want handled | Questions, ideas and one-off writing | ### One assistant or a whole team ChatGPT is very good at answering questions and writing. You open a chat, explain what you need, and it replies. For a one-off task, that is often all you need. JENA is built for the work that keeps coming back. Instead of one assistant, you set up employees with roles, like a [Marketing Manager](https://deskwithnova.com/jena/roles/ai-marketing-manager) or a Research Analyst. Each one keeps your instructions and what it has learned about your business, so you don't explain yourself again every time. ### Jobs, not prompts With JENA you write a job the way you would brief a colleague: "Find our three closest competitors and compare their prices." JENA works out who should do what, splits the job into tasks and runs the parts that can happen at the same time. You get one finished result, not a long chat to copy from. ### Nothing goes out without you The biggest worry with AI is that it does something you didn't want. In JENA, anything that sends an email, posts online or spends money stops and waits for your approval. You also choose which apps each employee can use, so your researcher can read the web but can't send email from your inbox. ### Why businesses choose JENA over ChatGPT - **Finished work, not a chat to copy from.** Brief a job once and get the result: a competitor table, a week of posts, a lead list. - **Specialists who remember you.** Each employee keeps its role, your instructions and what it has learned, so you stop repeating yourself. - **A team that shares the load.** JENA splits a job between employees and runs parts at the same time. - **Safe by design.** Every email, post and payment waits for your approval, and each employee only uses the apps you allow. - **You can see it working.** A live office and a record of every action, instead of scrolling back through chats. - **Built for small business.** 12 ready-made roles and 36 app connections, from NZ$29 a month for up to 3 AI employees. ### When ChatGPT might suit you instead If you only need a quick answer or an idea now and then, or you work mainly on a phone or a Mac, a chat assistant covers that. ### Can I use both? Yes. Plenty of people keep a chat assistant for quick questions and use JENA for the business work they want off their plate. ### Questions **Is JENA better than ChatGPT for a business?** For business work that keeps coming back, yes. JENA gives you a team with roles, memory of your business, shared tasks, your apps and approval before anything goes out. ChatGPT is a good fit for a quick one-off question. **Can JENA replace ChatGPT for my business?** For research, writing, lead lists and planning, yes. Many people still keep a chat assistant for quick questions. **Does JENA need my ChatGPT account?** No. JENA works on its own. You only need a NOVA account. **How much does JENA cost compared with ChatGPT?** JENA starts at NZ$29 a month for up to 3 AI employees, with a 7-day free trial. Check OpenAI's site for current ChatGPT prices. --- # JENA vs Microsoft 365 Copilot URL: https://deskwithnova.com/compare/jena-vs-microsoft-copilot JENA vs Microsoft 365 Copilot: help inside Word, Excel and Outlook, or a team of AI employees across all your apps. Plans, approvals and who each suits. Help inside Microsoft's apps, or a team of AI employees that works across all of yours. Updated 22 October 2026 · Facts checked 22 October 2026 **The short answer:** Copilot helps inside Microsoft's apps. JENA takes whole jobs off your plate: AI employees with roles you shape work across 36 apps, including Gmail, Slack, Xero and HubSpot, share the work between them and ask before anything is sent, posted or paid. It is priced per workspace, not per person, from NZ$29 a month.

It drafts in Word, analyses in Excel and sums up in Outlook and Teams. If your whole business lives in Microsoft 365, that is a strong fit. JENA works across apps. Your AI employees can research on the web, draft in Gmail, update Notion and check Xero, all in one job, and only with the apps you allow each one to use. ### Agents you shape Copilot comes with ready-made agents for research and analysis. In JENA you build the team: pick from 12 ready-made roles or write your own, give each one instructions in your words, and they hand work to each other. ### Why small businesses choose JENA over Copilot - **Whole jobs, not help inside one app.** Brief a job once and your team researches, drafts and updates your tools until it is done. - **Works with the tools you actually use.** Google, Slack, Xero, HubSpot, Shopify and Outlook, 36 apps in all. - **Your team, your way.** 12 ready-made roles or your own, each with instructions in your words. - **Nothing goes out without you.** Every email, post and payment waits for your yes, and every action is recorded. - **No per-person pricing.** From NZ$29 a month for up to 3 AI employees, with no Microsoft 365 plan needed. ### When Copilot might suit you instead If your whole team already works in Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams on an eligible Microsoft 365 plan, and you mainly want help inside those apps, Copilot fits. ### Can I use both? Yes. JENA works alongside Microsoft 365, and can connect to Outlook. ### Sources Competitor facts checked on their own sites on 22 October 2026.

If you mainly want AI inside Word, Excel and Outlook, Copilot fits better. **Does Microsoft 365 Copilot need a Microsoft 365 plan?** Yes. Microsoft lists Copilot Business as an add-on for existing customers with an eligible Microsoft 365 business plan. **Does JENA work with Outlook?** Yes.

URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/what-is-an-ai-employee An AI employee is AI software with a job title, skills and instructions that does real work for your business. What they can do, and how to stay safe. A plain-English guide to what AI employees are, what they can do for a small business, and how to keep them in check. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 22 October 2026 · 6 min read **The short answer:** An AI employee is AI software set up to do one job for your business, like research or marketing. It has a job title, skills and your instructions, it remembers your business, and it works on tasks you give it in plain words. It is software, not a person. ### How an AI employee differs from a chatbot A chatbot answers what you type, then forgets most of it. An AI employee is built for ongoing work. It keeps its role, follows your instructions every time, and remembers what it has learned about your business. You give it a job, not a prompt. - **A role:** for example Research Analyst or Marketing Manager. - **Skills:** what it is good at, like comparing prices or writing posts. - **Instructions:** how you like things done, your tone, your rules. - **Memory:** your products, customers and past work. - **Limits:** which apps it can use and what needs your approval. ### What AI employees can do today The best jobs for AI employees are ones you can describe clearly and check quickly: - Research competitors, suppliers or a new market, with sources. - Draft emails, social posts, proposals and reports. - Build and sort lists of possible customers. - Turn a meeting recording into a summary and action items. - Plan a week, a campaign or a launch as a list of tasks. ### What they shouldn't do on their own AI can make mistakes. A good AI employee setup never lets it send, post or pay for anything without a person saying yes. In [JENA](https://deskwithnova.com/jena), those actions always stop and wait for your approval, and every action is recorded so you can see exactly what happened. ### AI employees working as a team One AI employee is useful. A small team is better, because each one sticks to what it is good at. A Marketing Manager can ask a Research Analyst for competitor prices, then write the campaign. You hand over one job and get one finished result. ### How to start - Pick one job you do every week and find tedious. - Create one employee with a clear role and instructions. - Give it the job, review the result and tell it what to change. - Add a second employee once the first is saving you time. For a step-by-step plan, read [how to build an AI team for a small business](https://deskwithnova.com/blog/how-to-build-an-ai-team). You can try this with [JENA free for 7 days](https://deskwithnova.com/jena/download). It comes with 12 ready-made roles, so your first employee takes a few minutes to set up. ### Questions **Are AI employees real employees?** No. An AI employee is software. It does tasks you give it, but it is not a person and does not replace the judgement of the people in your business. **How much does an AI employee cost?** It depends on the product. JENA starts at NZ$29 a month for up to 3 AI employees, with a 7-day free trial. **Are AI employees safe to use?** They are safe when anything that sends, posts or pays waits for your approval, and when you limit which apps each one can use. **Do I need technical skills?** No. You set up AI employees and give them work by typing, like messaging a colleague. --- # How to build an AI team for a small business URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/how-to-build-an-ai-team How to build an AI team for a small business: pick the jobs, start with two roles, brief them well, connect apps safely and keep approvals on. Which roles to start with, how to brief them, and how to keep them safe while they take work off your plate. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 29 October 2026 · 7 min read **The short answer:** Start with the jobs you repeat every week, not with the tools. Set up two AI employees for those jobs, give each one a clear role, instructions and your business details, and let them use only the apps they need. Make anything that sends, posts or pays wait for your approval. Add a third employee once the first two are saving you time. ### 1. Start with the jobs, not the tools Write down the work that eats your week. Look for jobs that come back again and again, that you could explain to a new starter in a few minutes, and that you can check quickly when they're done. - Researching competitors, suppliers or prices - Writing social posts, newsletters and follow-up emails - Finding and sorting possible customers - Turning meetings into notes and action items - Planning a launch, a campaign or the week ahead Keep anything that needs your judgement on a person, such as pricing decisions, hiring or a difficult customer, for you to do yourself. ### 2. Pick two roles to begin with One AI employee is useful. Two that work together is where it starts to feel like a team. For most small businesses a good first pair is: - **A Research Analyst** who finds information, compares options and gives sources. - **A Marketing Manager** who turns that research into posts, emails and plans. The Marketing Manager can ask the Research Analyst for competitor prices, then write the campaign. You hand over one job and get one finished result. In [JENA](https://deskwithnova.com/jena) both are ready-made roles, so each takes a few minutes to set up. ### 3. Brief each employee like a new starter The clearer the brief, the better the work. Give every AI employee: - **A job title and goal:** "Marketing Manager. Get more bookings from local customers." - **Your tone:** "Friendly and plain. No jargon. Short sentences." - **Rules:** "Never mention prices in posts. Always include our booking link." - **What not to do:** "Don't reply to complaints. Flag them to me." ### 4. Teach it your business An AI team is only as good as what it knows about you. Add your products and prices, who your customers are, your best past emails and posts, and the questions customers ask most. In JENA this goes into the team's memory, so you don't repeat yourself in every job. ### 5. Connect apps, but only the ones each role needs Give each employee the smallest set of apps that lets it do its job. Your Research Analyst may only need the web and a shared document folder. Your Marketing Manager may need email and your social scheduling tool, and nothing that touches your accounts. ### 6. Keep approvals on for anything that goes out AI makes mistakes, like people do. The safe setup is simple: anything that sends an email, posts online or spends money stops and waits for you. In JENA that is always the case, and every action is recorded so you can see exactly what happened and when. ### 7. Give it a real first job Pick something you would normally do this week, and brief it the way you would brief a colleague: ``` Ava, find our three closest competitors in Auckland, compare their prices and what they offer, and suggest two things we could do better. ``` Then review the result and say what to change. Feedback like "shorter, and lead with the price" is remembered for next time. ### 8. Grow the team when it's earning its place Once your first two employees are saving you time every week, add the next role your work needs: | Business | Good first team | | Marketing or design agency | Research Analyst, Content Writer, Social Media Manager | | Online store | Marketing Manager, Customer Support Lead, Operations Manager | | Accountant or bookkeeper | Executive Assistant, Research Analyst, Finance Analyst | | Trades and services | Executive Assistant, Marketing Manager, Sales Manager | | Consultant or solo founder | Chief of Staff, Research Analyst, Content Writer | ### Mistakes to avoid - **Starting with ten employees.** Start with two and learn what works. - **Vague briefs.** "Do some marketing" gets vague work. Say what, for whom and by when. - **Giving every employee every app.** Match access to the job. - **Switching approvals off to save time.** Checking a draft takes seconds. Fixing a wrong email takes much longer. - **Never giving feedback.** A short note after each job makes the next one better. You can set up your first AI team with [JENA free for 7 days](https://deskwithnova.com/jena/download). It comes with 12 ready-made roles, so your first two employees take minutes, not days. New to the idea? Start with [what an AI employee is](https://deskwithnova.com/blog/what-is-an-ai-employee). ### Questions **How many AI employees does a small business need?** Start with two that cover your most repeated jobs, such as a Research Analyst and a Marketing Manager. Add more only when the first ones are saving you time. **What can an AI team do for a small business?** Research, write posts and emails, find and sort leads, plan campaigns and turn meetings into action items. Anything that goes out should wait for your approval. **Do I need technical skills to build an AI team?** No. In JENA you pick ready-made roles, write instructions in plain words and give jobs by typing, like messaging a colleague. **How much does an AI team cost?** JENA starts at NZ$29 a month for up to 3 AI employees, with a 7-day free trial and no card needed. **Is it safe to connect my email and apps?** It is when each employee only gets the apps it needs and anything that sends, posts or pays waits for your approval. --- # AI agents vs AI assistants: what is the difference? URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/ai-agents-vs-ai-assistants An AI assistant answers when you ask. An AI agent works through a task on its own. What each is good for, the risks, and where AI employees fit. Why "agent" and "assistant" mean different things for your business, and how to choose. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 5 November 2026 · 6 min read **The short answer:** An AI assistant waits for you. You ask, it answers, and you decide what to do next. An AI agent takes a goal and works through the steps itself, often using other apps along the way. Agents save more time, but they need clear limits, because they act. AI employees sit in between: agents with a role, memory and approval before anything goes out. ### What an AI assistant does An assistant responds. You type or say what you need, and it replies with an answer, a draft or an explanation. Nothing happens unless you take the next step yourself. - Answering a question about a spreadsheet or an error - Drafting an email you then edit and send - Summing up a document you paste in Assistants are low risk because you stay in every step. They are also limited by that: each job takes as long as you spend driving it. [Mini NOVA](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova) is an assistant by design. It tells you the next step on your screen, and you make the click. ### What an AI agent does An agent is given a goal and works out the steps. It can search, read, write and use connected apps, checking its own progress until the job is done. - Researching five competitors and putting their prices in a table - Reading new enquiries and drafting a reply to each one - Building a list of possible customers that match a description The upside is time. You hand over a job, not a series of prompts. The risk is that an agent can act on something you didn't mean, like sending an email too early or using the wrong file. ### Side by side | | AI assistant | AI agent | | Starts when | You ask a question | You give it a goal | | Who does the steps | You | The agent | | Uses other apps | Rarely | Often | | Time saved | Minutes per question | Hours per job | | Main risk | A wrong answer you can ignore | An action you didn't want | | Best for | Quick help and one-off questions | Repeated, multi-step work | ### Where AI employees fit An AI employee is an agent with structure around it. It has a job title, skills and your instructions, it remembers your business, and it works alongside other AI employees. In [JENA](https://deskwithnova.com/jena), anything that sends, posts or pays still waits for your approval, so you get an agent's speed with an assistant's control. New to the term? Read [what an AI employee is](https://deskwithnova.com/blog/what-is-an-ai-employee). ### How to choose - **Choose an assistant** when you need quick help with something in front of you, and the work is different every time. - **Choose an agent** when the same kind of job comes back every week and you can describe what "done" looks like. - **Choose AI employees** when you want agents, but with roles, a record of every action and approval before anything goes out. ### Keeping agents safe - Give each agent only the apps it needs for its job. - Make anything that sends, posts or pays wait for a person. - Keep a record of every action, so you can check what happened. - Start with low-risk jobs, like research, before anything customer-facing. Ready to try it? See [how to build an AI team for a small business](https://deskwithnova.com/blog/how-to-build-an-ai-team). ### Questions **What is the difference between an AI agent and an AI assistant?** An AI assistant answers when you ask and leaves the next step to you. An AI agent takes a goal and works through the steps itself, often using other apps. **Is ChatGPT an AI agent or an assistant?** It is mainly used as an assistant, answering in a chat. Some chat tools now add agent features that can carry out tasks, so the line depends on the feature you use. **Are AI agents safe for a small business?** They are when each agent only uses the apps it needs, anything that sends, posts or pays waits for approval, and every action is recorded. **Is JENA an agent or an assistant?** JENA gives you AI employees: agents with roles, memory and approval before anything goes out. Mini NOVA, NOVA's other app, is an assistant that guides you on your screen. --- # How to fix "blocked by CORS policy" URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/fix-blocked-by-cors-policy Seeing "blocked by CORS policy"? Your request is fine. The server must allow your origin with an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. Here is the fix. Why your request works in Postman but not in the browser, and the one change on the server that fixes it. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 22 October 2026 · 5 min read **The short answer:** The browser blocked the response because the server did not say your site is allowed to read it. Add an `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header on the server for your site's address, and answer the browser's OPTIONS check. Nothing in your fetch code needs to change. ### What the error means You will usually see something like this in the browser console: ``` Access to fetch at 'https://api.example.com/orders' from origin 'http://localhost:5173' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. ``` CORS stands for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing. When a page on one address (the **origin**, here `http://localhost:5173`) asks for data from a different address, the browser checks whether the server allows it. If the server's reply doesn't include permission, the browser hides the reply from your code. ### Why it works in Postman but not the browser CORS is a browser rule. Postman, curl and server code don't check it, so the same request works there. That is the clue that your request is fine and the fix belongs on the server. ### The fix: allow your origin on the server The server needs to send this header with its replies: ``` Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://localhost:5173 ``` In a Node.js server using Express and the `cors` package, that is one line: ``` app.use(cors({ origin: 'http://localhost:5173' })) ``` Use your real site's address in production, for example `https://yourapp.com`. #### If your request sends JSON or a login token The browser first sends a quick OPTIONS request, called a preflight, to ask permission. The server must answer it with the methods and headers it allows: ``` Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Authorization ``` #### If you send cookies With `credentials: 'include'`, the server must name your exact origin (not `*`) and also send `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true`. ### A quick fix while you develop If you can't change the server yet, let your dev server pass requests through. In Vite, add a proxy and call `/api/orders` instead of the full address: ``` server: { proxy: { '/api': 'http://localhost:3000' } } ``` Avoid browser extensions that switch CORS off. They hide the problem on your machine, and it comes back for everyone else. ### Checklist - The header names the exact origin in the error, including `http` or `https` and the port. - The server answers OPTIONS requests, not just GET and POST. - Error replies (like 401 or 500) send the header too, or you'll see a CORS error instead of the real one. - Cookies need an exact origin plus `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true`. ### Get the answer for your own screen Every setup is a little different. With [Mini NOVA](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova) open on Windows, press Insert while the error is on screen and ask "why is this blocked?". It sees the error and the origin on your screen and tells you the next step for your setup. Free for 7 days or 100 questions. ### Questions **Can I fix a CORS error in my front-end code?** No. The browser enforces the rule, and only the server can allow your origin. For development you can use a dev-server proxy instead. **Is it safe to use Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *?** For a public API with no logins or cookies, it is usually fine. For anything with user data, name your exact origins instead. **Why does the error only happen on POST requests?** POST requests with JSON trigger a preflight OPTIONS check. If the server doesn't answer OPTIONS with the right headers, the real request is blocked. **What is the origin in a CORS error?** The scheme, domain and port of the page making the request, for example http://localhost:5173. --- # IndentationError: unexpected indent URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/indentationerror-unexpected-indent "IndentationError: unexpected indent" means a line has more space in front of it than Python expected. Here is how to find and fix it. Why one stray space can stop a Python script, how to find it fast, and how to stop it happening again. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 29 October 2026 · 5 min read **The short answer:** Python uses the space at the start of each line to group code. "Unexpected indent" means one line starts further in than Python expected, usually because of one extra space, a stray tab or pasted code. Go to the line number in the error, make its indentation match the line above it, and run the script again. ### What the error looks like ``` File "report.py", line 4 print(total) IndentationError: unexpected indent ``` The line number tells you where Python gave up. The problem is almost always on that line, or the line just above it. ### Why it happens In Python, the space in front of a line isn't decoration. It tells Python which lines belong together, for example which lines run inside a loop. A line can only be indented further than the one before it if the line before ends with a colon, like `for`, `if` or `def`. Here line 4 has five spaces instead of four, so Python sees an indent it wasn't expecting: ``` total = 0 for price in prices: total += price print(total) # one space too many ``` The same thing happens at the top level of a file: ``` name = "Ava" print(name) # this line should have no space at all ``` ### How to fix it - **Go to the line in the error.** Compare its start with the line above it. - **Match the indentation exactly.** Use the same number of spaces as the other lines in that block. Four spaces per level is the Python standard. - **Check for tabs.** A tab and four spaces can look identical but are different to Python. Turn on visible whitespace in your editor to see them. - **Convert tabs to spaces for the whole file.** In VS Code, open the Command Palette and run "Convert Indentation to Spaces". - **Re-indent pasted code.** Code copied from a website or chat often brings extra spaces with it. Select it and indent it again to match your file. ### Related indentation errors | Error | What it means | | IndentationError: unexpected indent | A line starts further in than the code around it. | | IndentationError: expected an indented block | A line ends with a colon, but the next line isn't indented. | | IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level | A line moves back out, but not to a level used above it. | | TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation | The same block mixes tabs and spaces. | ### How to stop it happening again - Set your editor to insert spaces when you press Tab, with a tab size of 4. - Turn on "render whitespace" so stray spaces and tabs are visible. - Use a formatter such as Black or Ruff to fix indentation every time you save. ### Get the answer for your own screen Not sure which line is wrong? With [Mini NOVA](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova) open on Windows, press Insert while the error and your code are on screen and ask "what broke?". It points to the line and tells you what to change. You make the edit. Free for 7 days or 100 questions. Stuck on a browser error instead? See [how to fix "blocked by CORS policy"](https://deskwithnova.com/blog/fix-blocked-by-cors-policy). ### Questions **What does "unexpected indent" mean in Python?** A line has more space in front of it than Python expected. Only lines after one ending in a colon, like for, if or def, can be indented further. **How many spaces should I use in Python?** Four spaces per level is the standard. Whatever you choose, use the same amount everywhere in the file. **Why does my code look fine but still give the error?** It probably mixes tabs and spaces, which look the same on screen. Turn on visible whitespace or convert the file's indentation to spaces. **Can I fix it automatically?** Yes. A formatter like Black or Ruff re-indents your code consistently, and most editors can convert tabs to spaces for the whole file. --- # Why your laptop slows down right before you hit submit URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/laptop-slow-before-submit Laptop crawling right when you need it? Find what is using your memory and CPU in Task Manager, then free it up in under a minute. Windows 10 and 11. How to find what is slowing Windows down, and free it up in under a minute. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 5 November 2026 · 5 min read **The short answer:** Something is using most of your memory or processor at that moment: often a browser with many tabs, a background update, a sync app or a security scan. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager, sort by Memory or CPU, and close the app at the top if you don't need it. Then submit. ### The one-minute fix 1. **Open Task Manager.** Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc. If you see a small window, click More details. 2. **Sort by Memory.** On the Processes tab, click the Memory column so the biggest user is at the top. Do the same for CPU. 3. **Close what you don't need.** Save your work in that app first, then right-click it and choose End task. 4. **Submit.** Windows usually catches up within a few seconds. Don't end tasks you don't recognise, especially anything from Windows or your security software. If you're not sure what something is, leave it running. ### Why it happens at the worst moment - **Browser tabs.** Each open tab uses memory. An upload page, a video call and 30 other tabs together can fill it. - **Background updates.** Windows Update, app updaters and game launchers often download and install while you work. - **Sync apps.** Cloud storage apps re-upload files you just saved, such as the document you are about to submit. - **Security scans.** A scheduled antivirus scan reads every file and can slow everything else. - **Battery saving.** On battery, Windows can limit performance to make it last longer. ### Stop it happening next time - **Turn off startup apps you don't need.** In Task Manager, open the Startup apps tab (Startup on Windows 10), right-click an app and choose Disable. - **Set active hours for Windows Update.** In Settings, open Windows Update, then Advanced options, then Active hours, so updates wait until you're done. - **Plug in before a deadline.** Or set Power mode to Best performance in Settings, under System, then Power & battery (Windows 11). - **Close tabs you're done with.** Most browsers can also put unused tabs to sleep to save memory. - **Pause syncing.** Pause your cloud storage app for an hour while you finish and upload. ### When it's more than one slow moment If your laptop is slow most of the time, check that the disk isn't nearly full (Settings, then System, then Storage) and that Windows is up to date. A laptop that always shows memory close to 100% may simply need more memory for how you use it. ### Get the answer for your own screen Not sure which app to close? With [Mini NOVA](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova) open on Windows, press Insert with Task Manager on screen and ask "what's slowing my laptop down?". It looks at what is on your screen and tells you what to try first. You make the click. Free for 7 days or 100 questions. Another error in the way? See [help with error messages](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/error-messages). ### Questions **Why is my laptop so slow all of a sudden?** Usually one app or background task is using most of the memory or processor, such as a browser, an update or a security scan. Open Task Manager with Ctrl + Shift + Esc and sort by Memory or CPU to find it. **Is it safe to end tasks in Task Manager?** It is safe for apps you recognise and have saved your work in. Leave Windows processes and security software running if you're not sure what they are. **How do I stop apps starting with Windows?** Open Task Manager, go to the Startup apps tab (Startup on Windows 10), right-click the app and choose Disable. **Does charging my laptop make it faster?** It can. On battery, Windows may limit performance to save power. Plugging in, or choosing a higher Power mode, lets it run at full speed. --- # A Grammarly alternative for students URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/grammarly-alternative-for-students A Grammarly alternative on a student budget: what students need from a writing tool, the options and prices compared, and how to stay within the rules. What a student needs from a writing tool, what each option costs, and how to use them within the rules. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 22 October 2026 · 6 min read **The short answer:** Most students need four things: spelling and grammar fixes, help making a sentence clearer, real sources with correct citations, and a low price. Grammarly, QuillBot, LanguageTool and Wordtune all have no-cost plans with limits. NOVA Ink is US$5.99 a month paid yearly and adds real sources with APA, MLA and Chicago citations. Whatever you choose, use it to improve your own writing and follow your school's rules on AI. ### What students actually need - **Fewer slips.** Typos and grammar mistakes cost marks and look careless. - **Clearer sentences.** Long, tangled sentences hide good ideas. - **Real sources.** A citation to a paper that doesn't exist is worse than no citation. Always open and read the source. - **Correct citation format.** APA, MLA or Chicago, the way your course asks for it. - **A price that fits.** A tool you can keep using all year. ### The options compared | | Paid plan from | Good for | | NOVA Ink | US$5.99 a month paid yearly | Fixes as you type, rewrites, real sources and citations, in Chrome and Edge | | Grammarly | Pro listed at US$12 | Wide app support, plagiarism and AI detection on Pro | | QuillBot | US$8.33 a month paid annually | Paraphrasing modes, a citation generator and plagiarism checks | | LanguageTool | Local currency | Writing in more than one language | | Wordtune | US$6.99 a month paid annually | Rewrites and summaries | Prices from each company's own page on 22 October 2026. See our full [comparison of Grammarly alternatives](https://deskwithnova.com/compare/best-grammarly-alternatives). ### Why sources matter more than you think AI chat tools can invent references that look real. With NOVA Ink, you highlight a claim and tap Find sources. It searches Crossref and OpenAlex, two public research databases, and shows published papers with a working DOI link, then formats the citation in APA 7, MLA 9 or Chicago. A match is a starting point: open the paper and check it supports your point before you cite it. For the formats, read [how to cite a source in APA, MLA and Chicago](https://deskwithnova.com/blog/how-to-cite-a-source-apa-mla-chicago). ### Staying within your school's rules - Check your course policy on AI tools before you use any of them. - Use writing tools to fix and improve what you wrote, not to write it for you. - Keep your drafts, so you can show how your work developed. - Never cite a source you haven't opened. NOVA Ink's natural check is a writing style check, not an AI detector. It can't tell you what your school's tools will say. ### Questions **What is the best Grammarly alternative for students?** It depends on what you need. For fixes as you type plus real sources and citations at a low price, NOVA Ink. For paraphrasing, QuillBot. For other languages, LanguageTool. **Is there a cheaper alternative to Grammarly Premium?** Grammarly lists Pro at US$12. NOVA Ink is US$5.99 a month paid yearly, QuillBot Premium is US$8.33 a month paid annually and Wordtune Advanced is US$6.99 a month paid annually. **Is using a grammar checker cheating?** Fixing spelling and grammar in your own work is usually allowed, but rules differ. Check your course policy, especially for AI rewriting. **Does NOVA Ink make up sources?** No. Find sources only shows published records from Crossref and OpenAlex, each with a DOI link you can open. --- # Common grammar mistakes, fixed URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/common-grammar-mistakes Their, there and they're. Your and you're. Its and it's. Affect and effect. The eight grammar mistakes people make most, with a rule and example for each. Eight mix-ups that spell check misses, with a rule you can remember for each. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 22 October 2026 · 5 min read **The short answer:** The most common grammar mistakes are word mix-ups that spell check can't see: their, there and they're; your and you're; its and it's; affect and effect; then and than; a and an; could of instead of could have; and lose and loose. Each one has a simple rule, below. ### 1. their, there, they're Their = belongs to them. There = a place. They're = they are. **Example:** They're bringing their laptops over there. ### 2. your, you're Your = belongs to you. You're = you are. **Example:** You're going to love your new desk. ### 3. its, it's Its = belongs to it. It's = it is or it has. **Example:** It's a great app, and its price is fair. ### 4. affect, effect Affect is usually a verb (to change). Effect is usually a noun (the result). **Example:** The delay will affect the launch. The effect was small. ### 5. then, than Then = time or next. Than = comparing. **Example:** Finish this first, then send it. It is faster than before. ### 6. a, an Use an before a vowel sound, a before a consonant sound. **Example:** An hour, a user, an email, a one-off. ### 7. could of, would of The right form is could have or would have (could've, would've). **Example:** I could have sent it sooner. ### 8. lose, loose Lose = to misplace or not win. Loose = not tight. **Example:** Don't lose the loose screw. ### Why spell check misses them Every word in "their going to be late" is spelled correctly, so a basic spell check stays quiet. You need a check that reads the words around it. ### Catch them as you type NOVA Ink checks mix-ups like these in Chrome and Edge as you type, including their, there and they're, your and you're, its and it's, affect and effect, then and than, and a and an. Click the underline or press Tab to fix it, and Ctrl+Z undoes it. Want your sentences clearer too? Read [how to rewrite a sentence clearly](https://deskwithnova.com/blog/how-to-rewrite-a-sentence-clearly). ### Questions **What is the most common grammar mistake?** Mixing up words that sound alike, such as their, there and they're, or your and you're. **Is it "could of" or "could have"?** Could have. "Could of" comes from how "could've" sounds when you say it. **How do I remember affect vs effect?** Affect is the action (a verb); effect is the end result (a noun). A for action, E for end result. **Why doesn't spell check catch these?** Because each word is spelled correctly. Catching them needs a check that reads the sentence, like NOVA Ink's fix as you type. --- # How to reply to emails faster in Gmail URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/how-to-reply-to-emails-faster-in-gmail Seven ways to reply to emails faster in Gmail: templates, Smart Compose, keyboard shortcuts, a three-part reply, and a draft from the thread in one tap. Seven habits and settings that cut the time you spend in your inbox. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 22 October 2026 · 6 min read **The short answer:** Turn on Gmail's templates for answers you send often, use Smart Compose and keyboard shortcuts, and write every reply in three parts: the answer, the detail, the next step. For everything else, NOVA Ink can draft a reply from the thread in one tap. You check it and press Send. ### 1. Save your common answers as templates In Gmail, open Settings, choose See all settings, go to Advanced and enable Templates. Then write a reply, open the three-dot menu in the compose window, and choose Templates, then Save draft as template. Next time, insert it from the same menu. ### 2. Turn on Smart Compose In Settings, under General, turn on Smart Compose. Gmail suggests the rest of your sentence as you type. Press Tab to accept it. ### 3. Learn four keyboard shortcuts Turn on keyboard shortcuts in Settings, under General. Then: - **r** to reply, **a** to reply all - **f** to forward - **e** to archive - **Ctrl + Enter** to send ### 4. Write in three parts Most replies need only three things: the answer, the one detail that matters, and what happens next. ``` Yes, Thursday at 2 pm works. I'll bring the updated quote. Send me the address and I'll confirm the night before. ``` ### 5. Reply in batches Answer email two or three times a day instead of the moment it arrives. You write faster when you are in the flow of replying. ### 6. Cut the warm-up Skip "I hope this email finds you well" and "I just wanted to reach out". Start with the answer. Your reader will thank you. ### 7. Draft the reply from the thread With [NOVA Ink](https://deskwithnova.com/ink/gmail) in Chrome or Edge, click Reply and tap Draft reply. It writes a draft from the last 3 messages in the thread, in gray. Make it Shorter, Warmer or Firmer, press Insert, check it, and press Send yourself. NOVA Ink never sends anything for you, and its Check before Send flags issues before your email goes out. ### Questions **How do I reply faster in Gmail?** Use templates for repeat answers, Smart Compose, keyboard shortcuts and a short three-part structure. An extension like NOVA Ink can draft the reply from the thread for you to check. **Where are templates in Gmail?** Turn them on in Settings, See all settings, Advanced, Templates. Then use the three-dot menu in a compose window to save or insert one. **What is the shortcut to send in Gmail?** Ctrl + Enter on Windows, or Cmd + Enter on a Mac. **Can AI reply to my emails automatically?** NOVA Ink drafts a reply for you to check. You press Insert and Send yourself, so nothing goes out without you. --- # How to cite a source in APA, MLA and Chicago URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/how-to-cite-a-source-apa-mla-chicago How to cite a journal article in APA 7, MLA 9 and Chicago author-date, with templates, a real example and in-text citations for each style. The same journal article cited three ways, with the template for each style. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 22 October 2026 · 7 min read **The short answer:** APA 7: Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Year). Title. Journal, Volume(Issue), pages. DOI. MLA 9: Last, First, et al. "Title." Journal, vol. X, no. X, Year, pp. X-X. Chicago author-date: Last, First, and First Last. Year. "Title." Journal Volume (Issue): pages. DOI. Always use the style your course or publisher asks for. ### The example we'll use A 2015 article in the journal Nature by Yann LeCun, Yoshua Bengio and Geoffrey Hinton, titled "Deep learning", volume 521, issue 7553, pages 436 to 444, DOI 10.1038/nature14539. ### APA 7 ``` Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year). Title of the article. Journal Name, Volume(Issue), pages. https://doi.org/xxxx ``` LeCun, Y., Bengio, Y., & Hinton, G. (2015). Deep learning. Nature, 521(7553), 436-444. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature14539 **In the text:** (LeCun et al., 2015). Only the first word of the article title is capitalized, and the journal name and volume are in italics. ### MLA 9 ``` Last, First, et al. "Title of the Article." Journal Name, vol. X, no. X, Year, pp. X-X. https://doi.org/xxxx. ``` LeCun, Yann, et al. "Deep Learning." Nature, vol. 521, no. 7553, 2015, pp. 436-44. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature14539. **In the text:** (LeCun et al. 436). With three or more authors, MLA lists the first author followed by "et al." ### Chicago author-date ``` Last, First, First Last, and First Last. Year. "Title of the Article." Journal Name Volume (Issue): pages. https://doi.org/xxxx. ``` LeCun, Yann, Yoshua Bengio, and Geoffrey Hinton. 2015. "Deep Learning." Nature 521 (7553): 436-44. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature14539. **In the text:** (LeCun et al. 2015, 436). ### Tips that save marks - Use the DOI when there is one. It is the most reliable link to the article. - Copy author names and titles exactly as the article shows them. - List references in alphabetical order by the first author's last name. - Open and read every source you cite. A title that sounds right isn't proof. ### Find and cite sources in your browser With [NOVA Ink](https://deskwithnova.com/ink/find-sources), highlight a claim and tap Find sources. It shows real published papers from Crossref and OpenAlex, each with a DOI link, and formats the citation in APA 7, MLA 9 or Chicago 18. Copy it, or insert it where you are writing. ### Questions **What is the difference between APA, MLA and Chicago?** APA puts the year right after the authors and is common in sciences. MLA puts the year near the end and is common in humanities. Chicago author-date is close to APA, with full first names and a different layout. **How do I cite a source with three or more authors?** In APA in-text citations, use the first author and "et al." In MLA, list the first author and "et al." in the reference too. In the APA reference list, list every author up to 20. **Do I need the DOI?** APA and Chicago recommend including the DOI when a source has one. MLA suggests it too. **Can NOVA Ink format citations?** Yes. Find sources formats each result in APA 7, MLA 9 or Chicago 18, and every result links to a real record. --- # How to rewrite a sentence clearly URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/how-to-rewrite-a-sentence-clearly How to rewrite a sentence clearly in five steps: find the point, lead with who does what, cut filler, split long sentences and use specific words. Five steps that turn a tangled sentence into one your reader gets the first time. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 22 October 2026 · 5 min read **The short answer:** Find the one point the sentence makes, put who does what at the start, cut the filler, split it if it carries two ideas, and swap vague words for specific ones. Most clear sentences are under 20 words. ### Step 1: Find the point Ask what the reader must take away. Write that down in a few words before you touch the sentence. ### Step 2: Lead with who does what - **Before:** A decision was made by the team to delay the launch. - **After:** The team delayed the launch. ### Step 3: Cut the filler - **Before:** We are going to be trying to get all of the final changes done before the end of the month, if that is at all possible. - **After:** We aim to finish the final changes by the end of the month. ### Step 4: One idea per sentence If a sentence has "and" joining two separate thoughts, split it in two. Two short sentences beat one long one. ### Step 5: Choose specific words - **Before:** The update will be released soon. - **After:** The update comes out on Friday. ### Rewrite it in one tap In Chrome or Edge, highlight the sentence and NOVA Ink offers Clearer, Shorter, More formal or More natural. You see the new version first, and nothing changes until you press Replace. Ctrl+Z undoes it. Want fewer mistakes too? Read [the most common grammar mistakes and how to fix them](https://deskwithnova.com/blog/common-grammar-mistakes). ### Questions **How do I make a sentence clearer?** Lead with who does what, cut filler words, keep one idea per sentence, and use specific words. **How long should a clear sentence be?** There is no rule, but most clear sentences are under 20 words. Mix in some shorter ones. **Can a tool rewrite a sentence for me?** Yes. NOVA Ink rewrites highlighted text Clearer, Shorter, More formal or More natural, and shows you the result before anything changes. --- # How to make your writing sound natural URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/how-to-make-writing-sound-natural Writing sounds stiff when it leans on stock phrases, filler openers and sentences of the same length. Seven fixes, with before and after examples. Seven fixes for writing that sounds stiff, robotic or like a form letter. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 22 October 2026 · 5 min read **The short answer:** Cut stock phrases like "it is important to note that", drop filler openers like "Furthermore", mix short and long sentences, use contractions, and say what you mean with specific words. Then read it out loud. If you would not say it, rewrite it. ### 1. Cut stock phrases Phrases like "it is important to note that", "in today's world" and "it goes without saying" add words and remove meaning. - **Before:** It is important to note that the deadline has moved. - **After:** The deadline has moved. ### 2. Drop filler openers "Furthermore", "Additionally" and "Moreover" at the start of every sentence make writing sound like a report. Most sentences don't need a connector at all. ### 3. Mix sentence lengths When every sentence is the same length, writing drones. Follow a long sentence with a short one. Like this. ### 4. Use contractions "We're", "it's" and "don't" sound like a person. "We are", "it is" and "do not" in every line sound like a contract. ### 5. Be specific - **Before:** We are committed to delivering a seamless experience. - **After:** Your order ships within two days. ### 6. Hedge less One "might" is honest. Five in a paragraph sound unsure. Say what you know, and flag only what you don't. ### 7. Read it out loud Your ear catches what your eye skips. If a sentence is hard to say, it is hard to read. ### Check it with NOVA Ink NOVA Ink's [natural check](https://deskwithnova.com/ink/natural-check) scores highlighted text on your device and shows why it sounds stiff, such as repeated stock phrases and filler openers. Then make it more natural in one tap. It is a writing style check, not an AI detector, and it can't predict what other tools will say. ### Questions **Why does my writing sound robotic?** Usually because of stock phrases, filler openers like "Furthermore", sentences of the same length, and no contractions. **How do I make AI-written text sound more natural?** Apply the same fixes: cut filler, vary sentence length, use contractions and specific words, and read it out loud. Make sure the ideas are yours, too. **Is NOVA Ink's natural check an AI detector?** No. It is a style check that shows why writing sounds stiff. It can't predict what an AI detector will say. --- # How to fix #N/A in Google Sheets URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/fix-na-error-google-sheets #N/A in Google Sheets means a lookup found no match. Five causes, from extra spaces to numbers stored as text, with the formula that fixes each one. What #N/A means, the five usual causes, and the formula that fixes each. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 22 October 2026 · 5 min read **The short answer:** #N/A means your lookup (VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, MATCH or HLOOKUP) didn't find the value. Check for extra spaces (use TRIM), numbers stored as text, a range that doesn't include the value, a missing FALSE for an exact match, or a lookup column that isn't the first column of the range. Wrap the formula in IFNA to show a friendly message instead. ### 1. The value really isn't there Check the spelling and that the value exists in the lookup range. If it is genuinely missing, show a message instead of the error: ``` =IFNA(VLOOKUP(E2,A2:C100,3,FALSE),"Not found") ``` ### 2. Extra spaces "P-104 " with a trailing space doesn't match "P-104". Clean the lookup value with TRIM: ``` =VLOOKUP(TRIM(E2),A2:C100,3,FALSE) ``` ### 3. Numbers stored as text 1042 as a number doesn't match "1042" as text. Convert the lookup value to match the column: ``` =VLOOKUP(VALUE(E2),A2:C100,3,FALSE) =VLOOKUP(TO_TEXT(E2),A2:C100,3,FALSE) ``` ### 4. No exact match set Without FALSE, VLOOKUP does an approximate match and can return #N/A or the wrong row on unsorted data. Add FALSE as the last argument: ``` =VLOOKUP(E2,A2:C100,3,FALSE) ``` ### 5. The lookup column isn't first VLOOKUP only searches the first column of the range. If your IDs are in column B, start the range at B, or use XLOOKUP, which can look in any column: ``` =XLOOKUP(E2,B2:B100,D2:D100,"Not found") ``` ### Fix it in the cell In Chrome or Edge, [NOVA Ink](https://deskwithnova.com/ink/google-sheets) spots formula errors like #N/A and #REF!, explains what went wrong, and applies the fix in the cell when you press Apply. Ctrl+Z undoes it. Using Excel on Windows? See [VLOOKUP returning #N/A in Excel](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova/excel/vlookup-n-a). ### Questions **What does #N/A mean in Google Sheets?** It means "not available": a lookup formula couldn't find the value you asked for. **How do I hide #N/A in Google Sheets?** Wrap the formula in IFNA, for example =IFNA(VLOOKUP(E2,A2:C100,3,FALSE),"Not found"). **Why does VLOOKUP return #N/A when the value is there?** Usually extra spaces, a number stored as text, or a missing FALSE for an exact match. **Is XLOOKUP available in Google Sheets?** Yes. XLOOKUP works in Google Sheets and can search any column, with a built-in value to show when nothing is found. --- # AI for small business in New Zealand URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/ai-for-small-business-nz Where AI helps a New Zealand small business, where it doesn't, what it costs in NZ dollars, the Privacy Act basics and a one-week plan to start. A practical guide for Kiwi owners: the jobs AI does well, the ones to keep, what it costs and how to start safely in a week. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 23 October 2026 · 7 min read **The short answer:** Use AI for the repeated work that fills your week: research, first drafts, posts, client updates and admin. Keep pricing, hiring and difficult conversations with a person. Check every result before it goes to a customer, follow the Privacy Commissioner's guidance on AI tools, and start with one or two jobs rather than the whole business. ### Where New Zealand small businesses are with AI Most small firms are still early. MYOB's Business Monitor found about a third of New Zealand SMEs are proactively using AI, and firms with one to five staff use it least, at 30% ([eCommerceNews, reporting MYOB](https://ecommercenews.co.nz/story/new-zealand-smes-widen-ai-adoption-gap-myob-finds)). That gap is an opportunity: the jobs AI does well are exactly the ones that eat a small owner's time. ### Jobs AI does well - **Research:** comparing competitors, suppliers or prices, with sources you can check. - **First drafts:** client updates, proposals, newsletters, social posts and product descriptions. - **Planning:** next week's content, a launch checklist, a project plan. - **Admin:** turning meeting notes into actions and following up enquiries. - **Getting unstuck:** explaining an error message, a spreadsheet formula or a setting. ### Jobs to keep with a person - Pricing and discount decisions - Hiring, performance and anything about a person's job - Complaints and sensitive customer conversations - Anything legal, medical or financial advice to a client ### What it costs Most AI tools for small businesses are a monthly subscription. As an example of NZ pricing, [JENA](https://deskwithnova.com/pricing) starts at NZ$29 a month for up to 3 AI employees, and Team is NZ$99 for up to 10 employees and 5 people. [Mini NOVA](https://deskwithnova.com/mini-nova) starts at NZ$14.99 a month for 300 screen questions. Both have a free trial, so you can test a real job before paying. ### The Privacy Act basics If you put personal information into an AI tool, the Privacy Act 2020 still applies. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner has [guidance for organisations using AI tools](https://privacy.org.nz/news/statements-media-releases/ai-tools-and-the-privacy-act-commissioner-issues-new-guidance). In short: know what personal information goes in, check results before acting on them, keep information secure, and be open with people about how you use it. Our [Privacy Act checklist for AI tools](https://deskwithnova.com/blog/ai-privacy-act-nz) turns this into ten questions. ### A one-week plan to start | Day | Do this | | Monday | List the five jobs you repeat every week. Circle the two you'd most like gone. | | Tuesday | Set up one AI helper for the first job, with a clear brief: goal, tone and what not to do. | | Wednesday | Give it a real piece of this week's work. Review it and say what to change. | | Thursday | Add the second job. Keep approvals on for anything that goes to a customer. | | Friday | Count the time saved. Keep what worked, drop what didn't. | In [JENA](https://deskwithnova.com/jena) each helper is a ready-made AI employee, such as a Research Analyst or Content Writer, so Tuesday takes minutes. Our guide to [building an AI team](https://deskwithnova.com/blog/how-to-build-an-ai-team) goes step by step. ### Questions **What is the best AI for a small business in New Zealand?** It depends on the job. For research, drafts and weekly admin across a team, an AI employee app such as JENA fits. For help with software on your screen, Mini NOVA. For one-off questions, a general chat assistant. **Is it legal to use AI tools in a New Zealand business?** Yes, but the Privacy Act 2020 applies to any personal information you put into them. The Privacy Commissioner's guidance on AI tools explains what that means in practice. **How much does AI cost for a small business?** Most tools are a monthly subscription. JENA starts at NZ$29 a month and Mini NOVA at NZ$14.99, both with a free trial. **Will AI replace my staff?** For most small businesses it takes the first draft of repeated work, so people spend their time on the parts that need judgement and relationships. --- # AI tools and the NZ Privacy Act: a checklist URL: https://deskwithnova.com/blog/ai-privacy-act-nz Ten questions for New Zealand businesses using AI tools with personal information, based on the Privacy Commissioner's guidance on AI and the Privacy Act 2020. Ten questions to answer before you put customer or staff information into an AI tool, based on the Privacy Commissioner's guidance. Bjorn Kim, founder of NOVA · Updated 23 October 2026 · 6 min read **The short answer:** The Privacy Act 2020 applies whenever you collect, use or share personal information, including through an AI tool. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner's [guidance on AI tools](https://privacy.org.nz/news/statements-media-releases/ai-tools-and-the-privacy-act-commissioner-issues-new-guidance) recommends thinking it through before you start, checking results before acting on them, and keeping people informed. This checklist is general information, not legal advice. ### The checklist 1. **What personal information goes in?** Names, emails, notes about customers or staff. Use less where you can. 2. **Why are you using it?** Use personal information for the purpose you collected it for, and say so if that purpose is new. 3. **Have you told people?** Your privacy statement should say you use AI tools and what for. 4. **Where does it go?** Know which provider processes it and in which country, and whether that provider protects it to a standard comparable to New Zealand's. 5. **Is it kept or used for training?** Check whether the provider stores what you send, for how long, and whether it trains its models on it. 6. **Is it secure?** Use strong sign-in, give each person and tool only the access it needs, and remove access when someone leaves. 7. **Does a person check the result?** AI makes mistakes. Review anything before it goes to a customer or affects someone. 8. **Can you correct it?** If someone asks to see or correct information about them, you need to be able to find it. 9. **Is there a record?** A log of what the tool did, and who approved it, helps when something goes wrong. 10. **Did you think it through first?** For bigger projects the Commissioner suggests a privacy impact assessment before you start. ### How JENA handles these - **A person approves:** nothing is sent, posted or paid until you approve it. - **A record:** every action is in the audit log, with who approved it. - **Least access:** you choose which apps each AI employee can use. - **Where data is kept:** JENA's database and online service run in Singapore. The [JENA privacy policy](https://deskwithnova.com/jena/privacy) lists every provider.
