Ask one question and two AIs answer side by side, each using this site's live search tools (federal contracts, political money, news, satellite pictures, archives and more).
Where the two agree, that is a good sign. Where they differ, check the sources. AI can be wrong: use this to find records, then confirm at the original source.

How to ask a question that gets a good answer
Name the who, where and when. “What federal contracts did Palantir receive in the last 5 years?” beats “tell me about government contracts.”
Use exact names and ID numbers when you have them: company legal name, contract number, docket number, SEC CIK, FEC committee ID.
Say what kind of record you want: contracts, campaign finance, court records, news coverage, satellite pictures, old archives.
Say what you are trying to prove or disprove. A goal (“I am checking whether this claim is true”) helps the bot pick the right searches.
Ask one thing at a time, then follow up. Each AI remembers its own thread, so “now just Texas” or “what is missing from that?” works.
Ask what the sources do NOT show. Every record has gaps, and a record is not proof of wrongdoing.
If one AI fails, re-ask just that one. A failed column shows why (busy, took too long) and a Try again button that re-asks only that AI, so the other answer stays put. Haiku is the faster, cheaper Anthropic model; pick Sonnet in the menu next to it for a more thorough (slower) answer.
Hear it read aloud. Press the speaker button (Listen) under an answer and your device's voice reads it to you (press again to stop). The text stays on your device.
Use the source lists. Under each answer, click Show sources and open the originals. Addresses underlined in red were not returned by any search, so treat them as unverified.
Not what this is for: sports scores, recipes, entertainment picks, jokes. For those, try DuckDuckGo or Google.
Limits can affect your results. To keep this free tool running, each visitor can send 8 questions per 10 minutes and 60 per day, and the whole site has a daily cap. The public data sources it searches have limits of their own too (for example, the news search allows only about one request every 5 seconds, and some sources cap searches per day). When a source is at its limit the bot may skip it, switch to a backup, or report that it could not get results, so answers can be thinner at busy times. An empty or short answer then does not mean nothing exists: wait a few minutes and ask again, or narrow the question. The AI services themselves also have resource limits and can be slow or busy, which delays a response. Please be patient: a thorough answer can take a minute or two, and one column may finish well before the other.
Privacy: your question is sent to OpenAI and Anthropic and to the public data sources it searches. This site does not save it, but do not type anything you would not want an outside service to see.
