On the horizon
AI is powerful — but verifiable facts matter for serious work and important insights.
What it's built on
Public records are hard to find and connect — this leads to poor decisions, misunderstanding and opportunities for misinformation. Flip it and woven together, they become valuable sources of intelligence and insight. AskTribune creates a way to do this with AI, safely.
Every record earns its place — publicly verifiable, carrying authority, adding a perspective — then is linked computationally, not with AI, across nodes that surface the deep and evolving connections in what decision-makers, governments, companies and institutions say and do. Useful official reference data from public sources is woven in to add deeper context.
Only then does AskTribune connect this network to AI — with strong guard rails to walk the records transparently, never searching the web or leaning solely on training data.
Grounded in the record, tuned by our own weights.
The right model and context for the job — no waste.
Every answer opens straight to its source.
Made in Melbourne, aware of our places and institutions.
Public records, linked into one network — the context behind every answer.

AskTribune is building proprietary weights for systems to find the information you need from Australia’s public records efficiently and accurately while respecting the underlying intellectual property. Critical Australian infrastructure for a safe and reliable AI dominated information landscape.
AskTribune applies AI capability where it helps most, while making it easier to connect your work to real facts and grounded insights.
Modes built for the job
A quick, current answer from the public record — what happened, who said what.
Records-grounded work — pull the related sources and follow the thread properly.
Deep work on a brief, a business case or your next piece — a foundation you can stand behind.
$10 = 100 credits, to use in any mode. Valid three months. Buy in bulk for better value.
From $20/mo or $50/quarter. Subscribing extends how long your credits last — so what you don’t use is still there when you’re busy — and gets you credits at better value than buying one-off.
AskTribune has nearly zero onboarding. Public records remain freely accessible. Value is created at points of connection and analysis only.
Frequently asked
An AI terminal for Australian public and corporate affairs — for professionals primarily, but also engaged community members. Ask in plain English about the places, organisations, issues and governments in the public record and get answers grounded in the record and cited, so you can check them. This powers more than chat: tools like Quick Updates, Notes, scheduled Questions, Discussions and writing turn the record into usable work. It pairs frontier AI with a dedicated retrieval framework, so the language work happens over the right material, not a model applying its training data.
Free for 14 days with 1,000 credits — every mode included, and no card required. After that you pay only for the depth you use — credits from $10 for 100 (valid three months) with better value at larger purchases, or a subscription from $20 a month or $50 a quarter. Subscriptions give you a small number of credits but extend credit validity while helping us maintain and grow the system over the long term. The focus is on paying for what you use.
Only official, primary sources — collected the same way you could yourself wherever possible, never behind paid access, so you can verify them independently. Today the corpus covers the Commonwealth public record from 1 March 2026 — House and Senate Hansard, Prime Ministerial and ministerial media, committee submissions, reports and hearings, and parliamentarian profiles — alongside reference data from the AEC and ABS and the published figures of agencies like the RBA, Treasury and the PBO. New records usually appear the same day or the next morning.
Every answer is built from the public record — not training data or web searches — and the records behind it stay visible so you can open the source and verify it. Relevant records are found before any AI is used. Impartiality comes from following what's actually said: the same question returns comparable results whoever it's about, because the records themselves can't change. Like any AI, outputs should still be checked — but AskTribune aims to make that easier, and helps you use the process to make something even better.
Security is built into our system, not bolted on — every line of code is developed and operated by Tribune Analytics Pty Ltd, based in Australia. The authenticated gateway you reach in the terminal is the only public entry point into our system, and that encrypted tunnel is the only way to access the AI, data and session services behind it. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt and never stored in readable form; your account and work are encrypted at rest, and private to you within our Civic Use Principles. We don't train AI on your conversations or sell your data. We only send information to Anthropic — the gold standard for AI safety among frontier model providers — and we're working to enable Bring Your Own Model services, so you can truly manage your own information, on your desktop or any inference provider you choose. Your work remains your creation and property, always. Payments run through Stripe, so card details never touch our servers, and you can close your account whenever you like.
General AI tools answer from training data you can't see or check; free public tools give you records but no analysis. AskTribune's difference is depth and grounding — synthesis across a connected network of records, every claim cited back to the primary source — over a record corpus built for Australia. Systems that use AskTribune's approach — combining 'deterministic' and 'probabilistic' tools together to create very accurate and traceable results that can still be efficiently used with AI — are largely foreign owned and behind substantial paywalls. AskTribune's innovation is combining technologies and business processes to offer this type of system in a way that is accessible and scalable in the Australian context.
