About AskTribune

The records are linked before the AI is ever involved.

Australia's official data and records — from governments, agencies, businesses and other organisations — are hard to find and harder to connect, which leaves room for poor decisions, misunderstanding and misinformation. Connected, the same records become a source of intelligence.

Every record earns its place — official, publicly accessible and correctly licensed — and is then linked computationally, not with AI. Only after that network exists does AskTribune connect it to frontier and open-weight models, with guard rails to walk those records transparently: never searching the open web, never leaning on training data alone.

The pipeline
01Authoritative SourcesEach record or data source is official and authoritative to public decision‑making, publicly accessible, and correctly licensed or within relevant fair dealing for the user.
02Connected RecordsRecords are connected computationally — algorithms and human review, not AI — down to the individual paragraph or data row. The result is a continuous, temporally aware framework that AI reads through observable tools, never trains on, so insights can be generated transparently.
03Grounded ResponsesFrontier and open‑weight models are given that network of connections to traverse and nothing else — high‑quality insights and tools without relying on training data or unguided web search for factual recall. The AI's work is finding and understanding connections, not recalling facts.
04Testable ResponsesEvery claim traces back to the record it came from, unchanged and attributed — so you can see how the AI reasoned across those records, check it, and work with it to produce stronger output.
Why it matters
Breaking down silos to the places, issues and organisations that matterOfficial data and records held apart by department, jurisdiction and format sit in one connected network, so a question can cross all of them at once.
Issues tracked over timePositions, decisions and dynamics can be followed as they move across the public record, not read as isolated documents.
Uneditorialised public informationDirect access to what was actually said, tabled and published — complementing news and journalism rather than substituting for it.
Safer answers, insights and workAnalysis, briefings and submissions built on records that are attributable back to their source, so the output survives scrutiny.
Stronger transparencyWhat governments, agencies, businesses and other organisations say and do becomes easier to see, compare and hold to account.
Accessible insightsEngaging with the record no longer requires knowing where it lives — a question about an organisation, place or issue is enough to start.
