What you learn

Public archives turned into evidence you can cite, their APIs opened by code the AI writes while you ask the questions.

Where it comes from

The method behind Requiem Diurnus, AI News Social, and weeklyAI.

Conversations are saved for as long as weeklyAI exists, to improve the publication. Answers come in the language you write in.

Every law the United States has published, every word said in Congress, every presidential paper, decades of television news, the world's headlines as data: it is all public, and almost no one knows how to open it. Nine lessons open nine of these archives through their APIs, the AI writing the code, you asking the question, each one ending in evidence with a citation. It is the method the publication itself runs on every week.
