What is the weather in Dresden?

15° and partly cloudy in Dresden right now. Light rain starts around 8 pm and gets heavier after 10 pm; it eases off by about 7 am, and Thursday stays mostly dry with a high of 12°.

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. Fourteen 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.

Your model stays in charge

Send the messages you already keep; WebKnox remembers nothing. No rich answer? You get matched: false, your LLM replies, and you pay nothing.

Built for the screens people ask

One answer, rendered where your users are: a chat bubble, a kitchen display, a speaker or a team channel.

Looks like your app, not like ours

A theme sets colours and type, and also how much each card shows: only the temperature on a status bar, the full forecast in a chat.
