Nowprove

Nowprove is a term that has been used to refer to software projects and platforms focusing on formal verification and automated or interactive mathematical proofs. In its broad sense, Nowprove denotes tools that aim to help mathematicians and computer scientists construct, check, and share proofs with machines and humans alike. Because there is no single canonical product with this name, descriptions of Nowprove vary across implementations, but several recurring themes emerge.

Most Nowprove-like systems provide an interactive proof editor that allows users to state conjectures, outline proof steps, and invoke automated theorem provers or solvers to discharge subgoals. They typically support a formal language or structured proof language, integration with proof assistants, and facilities for importing mathematical libraries. Collaboration features often include version control, annotation, and publishing of proof scripts or proof stories for education or peer review. Some platforms emphasize web access, enabling browser-based editing and execution without local installation, while others offer desktop clients or server-backed services.

Usage scenarios commonly cited include teaching formal reasoning, verifying properties of software and hardware, and documenting mathematical proofs for reproducibility. The availability and maturity of Nowprove-like tools vary widely; users should assess language support, backend provers, performance, and community activity when choosing a platform.
