About Nano
An AI-native security and observability platform for cloud, local, hybrid, and air-gapped teams. Sub-second search, detection engineering, OpenTelemetry, pivt AI, and deployment control in one place. Run nano in the cloud, locally, hybrid, or air-gapped. nano was built from scratch, not refactored: a dedicated cluster, one query language over your security and OpenTelemetry data, agentic investigation, and deployment options from cloud to air-gapped. So when a service slows down, "is this an outage or a breach?" is one query, not two tools and a guess.
About Papercrane
Every analytics vendor is bolting an AI copilot onto their dashboards. Power BI has one. Tableau has one. They all work the same way: the human drives the old tool, and the AI sits in a sidebar making suggestions. I took the agent you already use and built the BI tool around it. papercrane-cli is a command line tool that gives Claude Code everything it needs to turn a business question into a live dashboard: authenticated access to your data, a real dashboard workspace, and a path to a link you can send to anyone.
