Proof
Evidence, not adjectives.
This page exists to replace marketing with evidence. Every claim on the site lands here with the artifact that backs it — and today most of those artifacts are honest illustrations, not recordings. That's the point: watch this page turn from explaining Nova into showing it, starting with the Windows Alpha, when the first real sessions are captured.
Zero real recordings so far — and we won't pretend otherwise. The first captures land during the Windows Alpha.
Featured demonstration
The flagship proof.
The strongest thing we can currently show. Today it’s an interactive illustration of Nova’s loop; when a real task can be captured end to end, a recorded session takes this slot — same place, stronger evidence.
The Workbench — one request through the whole loop
Proves That Nova's loop is one coherent process — perceive, remember, reason, plan, act, verify, learn — and that memory changes the decision rather than decorating it.

Verified capabilities
Every claim, and what backs it.
One card per thing Nova claims to do. Each carries its real status, what it proves, and — when one exists — a link to the recording, the date, the version, and whether you can reproduce it.
The full loop, end to end
IllustratedProves That perceive → remember → reason → plan → act → verify → learn hang together.

Session library
The archive of real runs.
Eventually a searchable record of every unedited Nova session — dated, versioned, reproducible. It’s empty right now, on purpose: there are no real captures to show yet, and we’d rather leave the shelf bare than stock it with mockups.
0 sessions
The first unedited captures land during the Windows Alpha, recorded from real sessions with early users — each one dated, versioned, and reproducible on your own machine. Until then this stays empty, which is the honest state of the evidence.
Engineering notes
Why a demonstration counts as proof.
A claim you can’t re-run is marketing. A run you can re-run is evidence. Here’s the standard every artifact on this page has to meet before it’s called real.
What makes it proof
Not that it looks impressive — that you can reproduce it. Every real session ships with the scenario and the exact build, so the result isn't ours to assert; it's yours to check.
Reproducibility
A published session includes the task, the version, and the conditions to re-run it. If it only works in our hands, it isn't proof yet — it's a demo, and we'll label it that way.
Redaction
Real captures come from real machines, so secrets and personal data are scrubbed before anything is published. Proof should never cost the person who produced it their privacy.
Verification
Each session shows not just the output but Nova's own checks against the goal — and, where we can, an independent check. You see that it worked, and that it was verified.
Progress
From illustration to live replay.
Each claim travels the same path. This is where it is today — and the whole point of the page is to watch these dots move right over the coming months, without the page ever being redesigned.
Adding a real recording is a one-line change to the evidence ledger behind this page — a status flips, a date and version appear, a replay link goes live. The design never changes; only the evidence does.
