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.

People burn days finding that out the hard way. That's the problem I solve.
Paste any public GitHub repo and your email. Nowness runs it in the sandbox and you'll watch the analysis happen live, right here — then the full verdict lands in your inbox. Free during the beta.
