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.
