I came across something recently I was hoping that someone will do for a while. An AI tool that has many of the advantages of the mainstream AI's like Grok have while deliberately circumventing lies, propaganda and "Hallucinations" that are obviously deliberately build into such mainstream tools.
It is called WEBB and can be found here:
www.thewebb.io
It is supposed to go live soon and could revolutionize how ordinary people can use AI without getting fed a bunch of lies that things like Grok will present and reinforce. Furthermore, it is also deliberately made open source so that it should, at least in theory, get better and better over time, although it already seems to be a stunner! I think it could be especially interesting to researchers like @Laura and others trying to use AI tools and capabilities to their advantage. It perhaps already is and/or will develop into a true resource of truth in the world.
Ian Carroll together with 2 of his friends are the people who have created it. The following video starts at the point where Ian Carroll presents it and what it can do:
Here you can see Ian Carroll using it:
And here is another example of him using it:
Here are some of the advantages:
- Apparently if you want, you can use large portions of the tool offline, meaning that you can safe, store and work on things without needing the internet.
- You can feed the tool with practical endless material of your choosing, and then it can search, connect dots and such within that dataset.
- As an additional kicker, if you want, you can for example plug in the usual/mainstream "AI overlords" (as Ian puts it) from outside into what you are working at to possibly get extra benefits in what you are trying to do. So I would guess that you could choose to add Grok for example in this or that point or remove it and so on.
- Apparently Webb alone is already so powerful that it can also read, search and analyze all the text that you feed it with, even if it is just in a photo for example.
- It is apparently very good with sources, finding them and connecting them etc.

Webb - Research Tool for Local Files
Process local files, discover hidden connections, and research faster than ever before.
