Inside the app
A search that reads like a briefing.
Five screens, one idea: get the answer, weigh the sources, follow the thread. Swipe, drag, or use the arrow keys.
Beacon
What do you want to know?
Recent
01 / 05
A query bar, nothing else
Open Beacon to a single clean prompt and your recent threads. Ask in plain language — no operators, no ten-result wall.
The walkthrough
Watch one question become an answer.
A 90-second run from query bar to graded sources to a branched follow-up — no link list in sight.
What it does
Built to inform, not to scroll.
Every part of Beacon is designed to get you to a trustworthy answer faster — and to make its thinking legible.
Synthesised answers
Ask a question and read one composed answer with inline source chips — not a page of links you still have to sift.
Branch to dig deeper
Every answer offers smart follow-up questions. Tap one and it chains into a fresh synthesis in place, logged to your history.
Credibility-graded sources
Each source gets an A/B/C grade, a kind, and an ownership note — so you can weigh opinion against peer-reviewed at a glance.
Show the reasoning
Flip one toggle to expand the numbered steps behind any answer. Beacon does not just answer — it shows its work.
A discovery feed
Topic chips and for-you threads grow from your own search history, turning past curiosity into the next good question.
Collections that stick
Save answers into on-device collections, tune answer depth and source preferences, and Beacon re-ranks to match.
On the roadmap
Where the engine is headed.
Today Beacon synthesises from a curated, graded corpus. Next, live models extend it — always with sources you can see and challenge.
Voice & conversational search
Ask out loud and follow up naturally — Beacon keeps the thread and the sources as the conversation deepens.
PlannedLive retrieval
Pull fresh, real-time sources into the synthesis while preserving the same grade-and-cite discipline you trust.
PlannedCross-language answers
Search in one language, synthesise from sources in many — with citations translated and the originals one tap away.
PlannedClaim-level fact checks
AI flags individual claims, cross-checks them across sources, and surfaces where the evidence agrees or conflicts.
