Question 1

What is RightNow AI?

Accepted Answer

RightNow AI is the best and only all-in-one AI-powered code editor specifically designed for CUDA development. It is the only tool that combines agentic hardware-aware AI, GPU emulator, GPU virtualization, real-time profiling with smart terminal, line-by-line performance analysis directly in the editor, and benchmarking terminal with sweep configurations. RightNow AI provides enterprise-grade development tools at scale for individual users, featuring NVIDIA Nsight Compute integration, AI-powered code completion, and intelligent optimization suggestions. Unlike generic code editors, RightNow AI understands your specific GPU architecture and provides context-aware assistance for parallel computing.

Question 2

Which NVIDIA GPUs are supported by RightNow AI?

Accepted Answer

RightNow AI supports all NVIDIA GPUs with CUDA Toolkit 11.0-12.5, including GeForce RTX 40/30/20 series, GTX 16/10 series, Quadro RTX, Tesla, A100, and H100. The editor automatically detects your GPU architecture (Pascal, Turing, Ampere, Ada Lovelace, Hopper) and provides architecture-specific optimization recommendations.

Question 3

How does RightNow AI compare to VS Code for CUDA development?

Accepted Answer

RightNow AI provides integrated NVIDIA Nsight Compute profiling directly in the editor with real-time performance metrics (SM efficiency, memory throughput, occupancy). It includes hardware-aware AI assistance that understands your specific GPU architecture. VS Code requires separate profiling tools and lacks GPU-specific AI context. RightNow AI shows inline performance metrics above kernel functions with one-click profiling.

Question 4

What AI models does RightNow AI support?

Accepted Answer

RightNow AI supports multiple AI providers: OpenRouter (200+ models including GPT-4, Claude, Gemini), local models via Ollama and vLLM, and managed RightNow Pro tier. You can use your own OpenRouter API key (free tier available) or upgrade to RightNow Pro for managed access. The editor supports model switching and custom provider configuration.

Question 5

How much does RightNow AI cost?

Accepted Answer

RightNow AI is free to use with your own OpenRouter API key (bring-your-own-key). The free tier includes 30 profiling runs and 30 benchmarking runs per month. RightNow Pro costs $49 per month and provides unlimited profiling and benchmarking, GPU emulator access, remote GPU connections, 1,000 AI agent credits per month, and unlimited autocomplete suggestions. All core functionality including GPU profiling, hardware detection, and code editing is available in the free tier.

Question 6

What profiling metrics does RightNow AI provide?

Accepted Answer

RightNow AI provides comprehensive NVIDIA Nsight Compute metrics including: SM efficiency (GPU utilization percentage), memory throughput (GB/s), occupancy percentage, warp efficiency, L1/L2 cache hit rates, register usage per thread, branch efficiency, instruction replay overhead, global/shared memory efficiency, power consumption (watts), GPU temperature, and roofline analysis for compute vs memory-bound classification.
