AI is powerful. Facts still matter.

• Grounded in the record. Every answer is built openly on official Australian public records — not an AI searching the web or leaning on its training.
• Built for Australia. Made from the ground up to understand Australia’s institutions and places.
• Sources and reasoning, shown. See how the AI uses each record in Notes, and check them in Sources yourself — so you can rely on what you act on.
• You stay in control. Manage your modes, context, and costs — and bring your own model to control your own data and spend (coming soon).

What you can do

• Stay across the news. Quick, current answers from the public record — what happened, who said what.
• Check a claim. Test something you’ve read or heard against the record.
• Go deeper on a story. Pull the related records and follow the thread properly.
• Prep for what’s next. Walk into a meeting or interview with the full picture.
• Get a head start. Draft a business case, a brief, or your next piece on a foundation you can stand behind — with the right model matched to the task.

AskTribune Terminal (Beta) puts Australian public records and AI in one place — from a quick check to a finished piece.

Built for professional use. Open to everyone.

How this is different

Most AI answers from its training, and increasingly sends agents to search the web. Impressive — but when the facts have to be right, how do you check them, and how easily?

AskTribune builds every answer on the Australian public record, and shows you every record behind it — so you work with AI from a verifiable starting point.

This is about how information is connected — get that right, and AI can do the work you actually need.

AskTribune has:

• Modes built for the job. Answer, Research, and Analysis scale from a quick fact-check to deep work — you choose the depth, the right model follows. Each is tuned to do the work, not show off, flatter you, or make things up.
• The whole picture, not a convenient slice. Built to surface what’s relevant across the records — not just the parts that fit a tidy answer.
• The right context, without your data. It hones in on the Australian places, issues, and organisations your question touches — so the context is close to right from the start, drawn from your prompt, never from your data.
• Bring Your Own Model (coming soon). Plug in your own provider — Anthropic, OpenAI, or a local model — and run on your own terms, your own costs, your own data. No lock-in.
• Built to keep getting better. New records, sources, and tools slot straight in — so answers get deeper and coverage gets wider without you changing how you work.

Built by people who’ve done the work

AskTribune comes from people who know what’s at stake when the facts have to hold up and someone’s accountable. They’ve used AI in policy and politics, hit its limits, and wanted tools that fit the work.

So they built something that pairs hard-won expertise with careful data analysis and old-fashioned algorithms — the kind of craft AI can scale but can’t replace.

Why it matters

AI is changing how all of us find and use information. That’s good — but only when what sits underneath holds up.

AskTribune is our attempt to make that normal: an AI system you can trust with real decisions, on a foundation you can check yourself.

Better tools, a healthier information diet, and the official record close at hand.
