How it works
What the AIs see, and when
Deliberate
Each AI answers alone first. Then they challenge each other. When one changes its mind, you’ll see whether it was given a reason.
The blind round
In the first round, each AI gets your question and nothing else. None of them sees another’s answer, so the first answers are independent: no AI can anchor on another’s. Only from round 1 do they read each other, and every reply has the same shape: what it agrees with, quoted; what it disputes, quoted, with why; its position now; and, if that changed, the words that changed it.
Why a position changed
A change counts as having a reason only when code finds the words the AI cites in the discussion so far, in a fact check, or in what you wrote. Each change gets one of four badges:
- New argument
- It quotes a specific point another AI made that it hadn’t answered before.
- New evidence
- It quotes a fact check or a source.
- Moved toward your comment, no new reason
- It changed right after you wrote something, and cites nothing new beyond your words.
- No new reason given
- It changed with nothing new to quote, or claimed a reason that isn’t anywhere in the discussion.
A change toward you with no new reason is the pattern to watch: it can mean the AI is agreeing with whoever is pushing, not with whoever is right. And agreement among the AIs isn’t verification; several AIs can share a mistake. “Check the facts” runs Verify against the pages the AIs cite or a page you give, and its verdicts are shown apart from the agreement.
