The project.

Each is deployed and graded by Nova against a rubric you can read before you start.

  1. Project 1

    A phone agent that completes a task

    A fictional physiotherapy clinic wants callers to book appointments without waiting on hold. Build a phone agent on a real number that checks availability, books a slot and confirms it back, recovering when callers mumble, change their minds or hang up.

    You hand in
    • Agent repository
    • Working phone number
    • Scripted call results
    • Short list of fixes
    The rubric requires

    Task completion rate is reported on the scripted call set.

What you can do at the end.

A phone agent you built in a weekend, and one graded project on your record.

  1. 1

    Build a speech-in, speech-out loop.

  2. 2

    Answer a real phone number.

  3. 3

    Complete a booking task by voice.

  4. 4

    Test with simulated callers.

No placement rate is shown, because there are no graduates to count yet. The roles above are what the projects are built for.

Your record at the end.

Every exercise and project is graded by Nova against a rubric you can read, and every grade is kept on one page an employer can open and run. This is what the programme writes to it.

Graded, line by line
Nova reads every submission against the brief and the rubric and returns a score, what you did well and what to fix.
Module by module
Each module ends in graded work; the next opens when you are ready, on your own schedule.
Nova remembers
Help is about your actual work, because the tutor has every submission and every failed exercise of yours.
One page an employer can run
Every grade and project at /verify. An employer opens it and runs the code.
