Compare the Cutlass Black and Freelancer for cargo.

VERSE Evidence checked

The Freelancer carries more cargo, while the Cutlass Black trades capacity for easier vehicle access and a more open loading bay.

01 / THE MISSION

The Verse changes.
Answers should keep up.

Star Citizen knowledge lives across game files, official releases, APIs, and community tools. It ages quickly, conflicts often, and can be difficult to evaluate. Ask The Verse aims to make that information usable without hiding where it came from.

01

Useful, not vague

Start with focused ship and component questions: specs, commerce, compatibility, and side-by-side comparisons.

02

Evidence, not confidence

Material claims should carry a source, observation date, and applicable Live patch. Missing or conflicting evidence should produce an explanation, not a guess.

03

Built for more pilots

Ask in English or Chinese. Canonical game entities stay consistent while curated aliases make questions and answers natural in both languages.

02 / THE EXPERIENCE

One question in.
A traceable answer out.

The product is designed as a public, anonymous chat workspace. It chooses the right approved capability for each question, favors deterministic lookups for structured facts, and uses the model to explain rather than invent.

Read the UI contract
  1. 01

    Understand the question

    Detect intent, language, entities, and ambiguity before spending tool or model budget.

    PLAN
  2. 02

    Query approved capabilities

    Route to versioned local data, APIs, retrieval, or reviewed web collectors according to freshness needs.

    SEARCH
  3. 03

    Validate the evidence

    Check source authority, patch, freshness, and conflicts before a result becomes an answer.

    VERIFY
  4. 04

    Answer with context

    Return a concise explanation, typed result cards, and citations that remain available for inspection.

03 / THE SYSTEM

Bounded by design.
Open to evolve.

The architecture separates the chat experience, orchestration, capability contracts, and data providers. New sources can be added without coupling the product to one model or integration.

PUBLIC EDGE Web experience Anonymous bilingual chat
GO BACKEND Bounded agent Plan, execute, validate
STABLE CONTRACTS Capability gateway Policy, budgets, evidence
APPROVED SOURCES Provider plugins Database, APIs, RAG, web
P-01

Provider-neutral

Application code depends on shared LLM and capability contracts, not one hosted model or source.

P-02

Tools with limits

Explicit tool, time, retry, and cost budgets keep agent execution predictable and controllable.

P-03

Typed results

Structured JSON supports accessible cards, tables, evidence, and future interactive calculations.

P-04

Replaceable storage

SQLite supports launch while repository interfaces preserve a path to larger data systems.

04 / FLIGHT PLAN

From working core
to public utility.

The repository currently proves the agent runtime in a terminal. The next work connects real Star Citizen data and moves the experience to the web.

NOW CORE PROTOTYPE

Prove the agent loop

A tested Go terminal application with OpenRouter-compatible streaming, typed tools, bounded tool rounds, and isolated in-memory chat sessions.

  • Streaming model responses
  • Tool contract validation
  • Concurrent terminal sessions
NEXT DATA FOUNDATION

Connect the Verse

Build the capability gateway, canonical ship and component records, source snapshots, evidence rules, and first approved data integrations.

  • Live patch-aware records
  • Commerce and specification data
  • Source freshness and conflict policy
THEN PUBLIC WEB MVP

Open the comms

Launch the anonymous Next.js chat experience with durable history, resumable streaming, bilingual answers, and an accessible evidence drawer.

  • English and Chinese interface
  • Claim-level citations
  • Ship and component question families
