[ Toolbox Talks ]

Toolbox talks that take minutes, not a blank page

A toolbox talk is only useful if it actually happens — and it's easy to skip when writing one from scratch feels like more admin than the 10-minute conversation it's meant to be. Novato drafts one from a title and hazard categories, or you write it yourself, either way in minutes.

How it works

1

Click "New Toolbox Talk"

Give it a title — something concrete, like "Working near live traffic corridor."

2

Generate it or write it manually

Let Novato draft "what was discussed" from selected hazard categories, or write it yourself if you'd rather.

3

Save it

It's recorded against the project, ready to reference later.

4

Share it with the crew

Shareable links let the people who attended (or need to catch up) see what was covered.

How this fits Australian WHS compliance

Toolbox talks are a standard, well-understood part of ongoing site safety communication — Novato's role is removing the friction that causes them to get skipped, not adding a new compliance requirement on top of what a toolbox talk already is.

Common questions

Can I still write a toolbox talk myself instead of generating one?

Yes — generation is one option, not a requirement. You can write the "what was discussed" content manually.

Is there a limit on how many I can generate?

AI generation is capped monthly per plan; manually written toolbox talks aren't affected by that cap.

Is this included on every plan?

Toolbox Talks is available from every plan tier, including the free trial — only the monthly AI-generation volume differs by plan.
