Sound Familiar?
We built Nimbus because we were tired of these problems too.
Weeks of Boilerplate Code
I spend more time debugging preprocessing pipelines than actually researching. Every new dataset means rewriting the same code again.
Nimbus: Pre-built, tested components. Ready in minutes.
Can’t Reproduce Results
“Paper says they used CSP with bandpass filtering, but which order? What parameters? Spent a week trying to replicate.”
Nimbus: Share complete pipelines with one click.
Deployment is Impossible
“My offline training code works great. But real-time deployment requires a complete rewrite. This will take months.”
Nimbus Studio: Same pipeline trains and deploys. Zero rewrites.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I export my work to code?
Yes! Export pipelines to Julia or Python code anytime. You’re never locked in. Nimbus generates clean, documented code that you can customize further.
