Your chat already knows the answer. Now it can show it.

Large language models write fluent paragraphs. People asking about tomorrow's weather, a banana's calories or a pancake recipe want to see it at a glance.

Cards, not paragraphs

Weather becomes a forecast, nutrition a label, a recipe a step-by-step cooking mode. Seventeen card types today, each with a typed, versioned schema; quizzes and movies are next.

Sourced and current

Live data from MET Norway, USDA FoodData Central, Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and more. Cards name their sources, with the license where one applies.
