Nova Labs is an artificial intelligence company based in Asunción, Paraguay. It builds its own products around one idea: if AI is going to do real work, that work should leave evidence and be checkable independently. Dovren, in development, is a desktop application that carries out digital work across applications, the browser and files under human supervision. Tesven, at release candidate v0.1.0, independently verifies whether AI work reached its expected outcome. Nova Research publishes open evaluation methods such as PY-AIEval. Nova also builds AI systems for companies. More at novalabs.com.py.

Tesven: Tesven is Nova Labs software that independently verifies whether AI work reached its expected outcome, checking it against criteria and evidence. Release candidate v0.1.0.
Relationship: Dovren executes. Tesven verifies: one does the work, the other checks with evidence whether it was done right. Today, Dovren evidence can be imported into Tesven manually; automatic pairing is planned.
Origin: Nova Labs was started in Asunción, Paraguay, and builds products meant to be used anywhere.
Thesis: AI is starting to do real work. That work should leave evidence and be checkable by something other than the system that did it.
