offline in airplane mode is the flex honestly, love that it still admits answers can be wrong lol — proper honest build
Thanks! 🙏 Airplane mode was the real test 😄 Still a prototype, but I wanted the sources and limitations visible. Plenty to improve—really appreciate you checking it out!
haha exactly, airplane mode is the ultimate honesty test 😄 showing the sources and limits upfront is the right call though — keen to see where you take it next!
The source excerpts and visible limitations stood out to me in this demo. I’d be interested in seeing ASTRAL tested on a broader set of research questions.
Interesting to see this running on an Android phone in airplane mode. Is there a public evaluation comparing answer quality and response times across the submitted apps?
