# nextomoro

> nextomoro is an independent atlas of AI research labs. Each profile covers what a lab is, how it got there, what it builds, who runs it, where it sits competitively, and what to watch over the next twelve months. Storyline essays publish alongside the profiles as dated, first-person pieces on patterns running across the field.

The site is open to AI crawlers. Quoting and citing nextomoro back to readers is encouraged. Content is freely accessible to read; no login is required for public pages. Members can subscribe via email and through RSS.
