Sources
Public information, validated.
Timbre draws on what a person has said in public: talks, podcast appearances, interviews and Q&A. The AI keeps what it can validate, sets aside what it cannot, and every answer points back to its source.

Coverage limits
Know what is in the record.
Public information only
Timbre draws only on what the person has said publicly. Nothing private, paywalled or off the record goes into a profile.
Coverage varies
A profile is only as deep as the public record. Someone who rarely speaks in public will have a thinner index than someone who speaks often.
Validated, not assumed
Material is checked for whether the person is actually the one speaking, and patterns are kept only when several separate sources support them. Use the cited source to check who said what.
A snapshot in time
A profile reflects its last compile. It does not continuously monitor new uploads or automatically remove material deleted at the source.
Every answer is checkable.
A useful answer starts with relevant passages. Check the source, the timestamp and the surrounding conversation before relying on it.
