Overview
Nanobot is an academic project that achieved viral product status. The codebase fits in a single tab. No sandbox by design — the audit is reading the code yourself. Single-user, OpenAI-compatible, intentionally minimal.
Quick verdict
Best for
- Engineers who want full code-level visibility
- Resource-constrained hosts (Raspberry Pi works)
- Foundations for custom proprietary agents
Not for
- Multi-user deployments
- Anyone who needs sandbox guarantees they didn't write themselves
- Anthropic-only stacks without willingness to write a shim

| Sandbox by default | no |
| Auth on dashboard | no |
