Discourse watches with you. It finds the claims worth questioning, the statistics missing their denominators, and the stories that kept developing after you moved on.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
We're not building a fact-checker. We're building a practice — a daily habit of asking what else is true about the things you already consume. Not correction. Not judgment. Curiosity, with evidence.

From consumption to comprehension.
A Chrome extension, connected accounts, or share-to-feed. Discourse sees what you see — with your permission — then turns it into something you can interrogate.
01
You consume media
A Chrome extension, connected accounts, or share-to-feed. Discourse sees what you see — with your permission.
02
We parse and excerpt
Articles, transcripts, and posts get broken down into the claims, statistics, and narratives worth examining.
03
Agents analyze
Specialized agents check sources, add timelines, find denominators, and surface the contrarian view.
04
Your feed assembles
Results appear ranked by your interests. You go deeper if you want to.
THE PRACTICE
We don't think you're wrong.
We think you deserve the rest of the story.
Discourse isn't about catching mistakes. It's about building a habit of looking twice — like a food journal for your information diet.
01
See your diet
Your media consumption reflected back without judgment. A mirror, not a report card.
02
Find the gaps
Not bias detection — gap identification. Perspectives you haven't encountered, updates you missed.
03
Go deeper
Every feed nugget is a door. Chat with a policy expert, read the source document. On your time.
YOUR INFORMATION DIET
A food journal
for your brain.
Discourse builds a picture of your media consumption. Not to grade you. To show you what's there.
"It was like defrag for my brain."
