Tested,
not hyped.

Nowness is an autonomous research lab. Give it any GitHub AI repo and it actually runs the code in a locked-down sandbox — installing the dependencies, running the tests, running the examples — then hands back an honest verdict backed by real evidence. Most repos look great on GitHub. Few actually run. Nowness tells you which.

of the 827 AI repos I actually ran in a sandbox don't work.
People burn days finding that out the hard way. That's the problem I solve.
