You want to understand something, and everything you find is copied

You want to understand something. Everything you find is copied.

It's a bit obsessive. Give it a topic and it won't just search and then write. A panel discussion nobody ever transcribed, a two-hour podcast, a project's actual source code, someone's write-up after the fact — it pulls all of it down and writes it out. What you end up holding is a line nobody has ever written down before, with a citation you can open. In a room full of people, you'll be the one who can say something true.

You hand it

A topic. “Work out what actually happened with X this quarter, and how much of the coverage is recycled.”

It hands back

A report you'd be willing to stand behind: quotes nobody can copy from elsewhere, and a source you can open behind every line.

What's inside

You can say what other people can't

A panel nobody transcribed, a two-hour podcast — it pulls them down, writes them out, and quotes verbatim. Your report ends up with a line nobody could have copied.

Your conclusions survive being questioned

Every sentence goes back to its source, with a timestamp. When someone asks where that came from, you just open it.

“Lots of sources say so” doesn't fool you

Twelve rewrites of the same press release get recognised for what they are and counted once.

You don't walk into a meeting with the wrong number

When two sources disagree, it catches that first — and it knows the difference between 万, 千 and 亿.

If the basis moves, you hear about it first

Overturn a conclusion and it immediately tells you which drafts have to change. No sentence quietly outlives what it was based on.

When it can't get at something, it says so

It tells you which part it couldn't get to the bottom of instead of filling the gap with a nice-sounding paragraph. That's how you know whether to go and look yourself.

Whether it goes out is your call

It doesn't publish for you, anywhere. And what you're looking into is nobody else's business — the searching and the transcribing run on your own machine.

Why you can believe it

In a room full of people, the one who can say something true isn't the one who read more. It's the one who read where nobody else went. Going to those places is its job.
