FutureSearch – answer hard questions like "Who will buy TikTok US?"
Now that the TikTok ban is on its way to Biden’s desk, you may ask: “Will ByteDance get this overturned in court?” “How much is TikTok US worth?” “Will Oracle and Walmart bid again?” Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc. have almost nothing to say on questions like these that involve judgment, uncertainty, modeling, and in-depth research. (Try it for yourself.) FutureSearch draws on the fact that professional forecasters do surprisingly well on such questions. We’ve worked with many of them over the years, and we’ve built their research workflows with LLMs and agent loops. Here's what…

Scroll Wikipedia like TikTokJan 2026 · quack.sdan.io · ▲330Hey - I've been playing with LLMs since GPT-2 and recently experimented with fully generative UIs where the HTML/Canvas are generated just-in-time. Every post on the feed( on slop/duck/storytime) you see is streamed and generated just-in-time with HTML and into a Canvas with Gemini 3 Flash. Comments and DMs are bidirectionally linked with a Cloudflare Workers Durable Object which is why they feel so fast. Every generated post is saved into a DO SQLite which is then served into the "Following" feed so it can be served quicker. This was inspired by Wikitok, a VSCode Extension I…
Humans vs LLMs2025 · aipageready.com · ▲138Hi HN, We just launched [AI Page Ready](https://aipageready.com) — a tool to check if your web pages are discoverable and understandable by AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. It runs 40+ checks across six areas: Discoverability & Crawlability, Structured Data & Semantics, Content Quality, Answer-Ready Formatting, Accessibility & Rendering, and Deep AI LLM-specific checks. Would love your feedback — especially if you work in eCommerce, SEO, content, SaaS, or are trying to get traffic from AI tools. (Also open to ideas on what else to add to the tool!)
FutureSearch, AI forecasting you can verifyAug 2026 · futuresearch.ai · ▲11*Title:* Show HN: FutureSearch, AI forecasting you can verify AI forecasting is now approximately superhuman. Today, FutureSearch is exiting our long public beta and launching. We started FutureSearch in August 2023. (We’re the original AI forecasting company, at least in a Tetlock-ian, “forecast anything” sense.) We’re currently #1 of 194 in the most competitive AI forecasting tournament [1], and we score above the #3 and #2 human forecasters in the premier mixed human-bot tournaments [2]. Many people on HN seem to equate forecasting with prediction markets and finance. FutureSearch is not…
The AI 500Dec 2025 · trakkr.ai · ▲108Hey HN, I've been trying to correct for one of the biggest difficulties with moving from SEO -> GEO, which is the lack of public data (in the same way that for SEO we had ahrefs/semrush/etc). To try and start fixing this, I've built a searchable database of 15k brands, across 500 different industries, with daily updates. Each morning, the tool goes out and queries 10k different prompts, and normalises the results to all the relevant brands. You can also see some of the most interesting tech rivalries here: https://trakkr.ai/rankings/rivalries Would love your…
- ALAsk LLMs to predict anything based on news2024 · aipredict.fun · ▲25
Hi HN! We partnered with the Atlas team to build a tool called AI Predict [0] that allows anyone to ask any question about the future and get a thoroughly researched, AI-generated prediction on how likely it is to be true. How it works: Atlas replicated a Berkeley paper [1] that showed LLMs could make predictions as accurate as the crowd. We’re using a mix of models from OpenAI and Anthropic, with information retrieval powered by NewsCatcher [2]. The system is live and fully functional, though it might struggle with hyper-local questions outside of the public domain (e.g., “Will I have…
