NovaBuilder is an open-source, self-hosted internal tool builder designed for building and operating real-world business systems. Across many organizations, internal tools evolve organically: spreadsheets grow into databases, ad-hoc scripts become workflows, and multiple SaaS tools are stitched together to cover gaps. Over time, this results in fragmented systems, inconsistent data models, and workflows that become increasingly difficult to maintain or extend.
A self-hosted internal tool builder addresses this problem by providing a unified foundation where internal applications can be designed, operated, and evolved within a single system — without vendor lock-in and with full ownership over data and infrastructure.
NovaBuilder was created to support exactly this approach.
From messy data to structured systems
In many real-world scenarios, business logic starts life in messy Excel files, CSV exports, or loosely defined internal tools. As requirements grow, these artifacts are often manually translated into databases, forms, and workflows — repeatedly and inconsistently.
NovaBuilder is designed to reduce this friction by treating data models, forms, workflows, documents, and dashboards as parts of one coherent architecture. Instead of rebuilding the same structures across disconnected tools, internal systems can be shaped and refined within a single, self-hosted environment.
What is a self-hosted internal tool builder?
A self-hosted internal tool builder is a platform that allows teams to create and run internal business applications on infrastructure they control.
Unlike SaaS-based internal tool platforms, a self-hosted internal tool builder gives organizations full ownership of their data, execution, and deployment. Unlike low-level development frameworks, it provides higher-level building blocks focused on real business processes rather than isolated applications.
NovaBuilder combines these principles into what it defines as a self-hosted business system builder — a system designed to support internal tools as long-lived, interconnected business systems rather than short-lived utilities.
Designed for long-term complexity
NovaBuilder is built around recurring patterns seen in mature internal systems:
By aligning these elements within one system, NovaBuilder aims to reduce long-term complexity instead of adding new layers of integration overhead.
Open-source, self-hosted, and extensible
NovaBuilder is released as open-source software and designed to be fully self-hosted. Teams can inspect, modify, and extend the system according to their needs, without reliance on proprietary platforms or external services.
The project emphasizes sustainability, maintainability, and architectural clarity over short-term feature velocity, positioning it within the broader landscape of open-source low-code platforms while remaining focused on real internal business systems.
Availability
NovaBuilder is publicly available on GitHub and can be installed and explored locally. It is intended for developers, agencies, and organizations building long-lived internal tools and business systems.

Polynome Group, a leading UAE-based AI company delivering end-to-end AI solutions, will showcase its intelligent AI concierge and visual analytics tool powered by Machine Vision at Machines Can Think 2026, Abu Dhabi’s premier summit for AI adopters. These dual-purpose solutions transform both digital and in-person customer service and deliver real-time insights across every interaction.
Co-hosted with the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), the two-day summit on 26–27 January at Park Hyatt Saadiyat will feature 50+ topics and 1,500 experts from 30+ countries, including AI researchers, technologists, and executives from Meta, NVIDIA, MBZUAI, Mubadala, G42, and more. Attendees will be welcomed by H.H. Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, alongside Alexander Khanin, Founder and Director of Polynome Group. The summit will also feature a keynote by H.E. Omar Sultan Al Olama, Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Remote Work Applications.
At the summit, visitors can explore Polynome Group’s AI concierge, an enterprise-grade, multi-channel AI assistant that communicates naturally with customers and supports employees in corporate and government organisations. It answers questions, handles requests, and automates repetitive tasks for both customers and employees across voice, text, websites, mobile apps, self-service kiosks, and call centres. This delivers fast, consistent support for customers and helps employees work more efficiently.
In addition, the group will present its visual analytics tool, powered by Machine Vision (a technology that allows computers to “see”), which monitors in-person interactions through existing video cameras in offices, stores, lounges, and service centres. It tracks how quickly staff engage with customers, how long each interaction takes, and the overall service flow, giving organisations real-time insights to improve offline experiences. These solutions demonstrate how AI can optimize customer service across all touchpoints.
Alexander Khanin, Founder and Director of Polynome Group, commented: “AI should change how organisations set strategy, manage risk, and compete, yet many leadership teams are still expected to govern systems they do not fully understand. With 69% of organisations in the Middle East planning to increase AI investment in 2026, the leadership gap can widen. At Machines Can Think, Polynome Group is elevating the conversation on AI fluency, governance, and executive decision-making, equipping leaders to move from blind adoption to confident execution.”
Polynome Group will also host two executive-level workshops. The flagship session, AI Fluency for Leaders, is a forward-looking masterclass that provides decision-makers with practical mental models to spot opportunities, anticipate disruptions, and build AI-ready organisations without needing technical expertise. The second session, What C-levels Must Know About AI, provides executives with a structured framework to evaluate AI use cases, manage risk, and measure ROI, with a focus on governance and board-level accountability.
The group is also behind Machines Can See, Dubai’s flagship AI summit held as part of Dubai AI Week at the Museum of the Future. The 2025 edition attracted delegates from 45+ countries, featured high-profile partnership announcements, strategic MoUs, and thought-leadership sessions. The summit generated over 5 million online engagements, cementing Polynome’s role in driving strategic AI adoption and executive insight across the region.
Machines Can Think 2026 is supported by a growing ecosystem of partners, including the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, Abu Dhabi Convention and Exhibition Bureau, Yango Group, Mubadala, NVIDIA, Abu Dhabi Police, DDN, e&, Tahaluf, aiphoria, Backwell Tech, Women in AI (global network and UAE chapter), Sandooq Al Watan, XPANCEO, Orbit, Jupiter E-Power, and VAST Data, with more to be announced.
