@r_dardennes We certainly hope so 😊. Our goal isn’t just to generate an answer. It’s to help you understand why you should trust it. Every result comes with a confidence score, supporting evidence, key points, and sources, so you can judge the answer for yourself.
@cahbagusan Hi, this is free to use on the website. We will be rolling out an API (aimed at developers and agents) in a few weeks which will be chargeable.
@NacoayaG Bias is a tough problem, and we don’t claim to completely eliminate it 😊
But NeedleSeek aims to reduce it by weighing evidence from multiple independent sources. If the evidence is mixed, we reflect that uncertainty instead of hiding it.
While there’s no perfect way to identify bad sources automatically, we do apply a number of quality heuristics before weighing the evidence. NeedleSeek then looks for corroboration across independent sources and makes the evidence and citations visible, so you can judge for yourself.
Great question. The confidence score isn’t “how confident the AI feels”. It’s an estimate of how well the available evidence supports the answer. It considers factors like source quality, agreement across independent sources, recency, and evidence coverage. It’s designed to help you calibrate trust, not replace your judgment.
Hallucinations are exactly the problem we’re trying to reduce. NeedleSeek doesn’t just generate an answer, it cross-checks multiple sources, cites the evidence it used, and assigns a confidence score based on the strength and consistency of that evidence. No AI system is perfect, but the goal is to make it much easier to spot when an answer is well supported versus when you should be skeptical.
Great question. NeedleSeek doesn’t bypass or scrape behind paywalls. It relies on publicly accessible, indexable sources and cites the evidence it used, so you can verify it yourself. If important information is only available behind a paywall, that can reduce the available evidence and be reflected in the confidence score rather than presenting unwarranted certainty.
