Open Aether and tap the Ask tab (the ◎ icon in the bottom navigation). Type any civic claim, policy question, or public assertion and tap Ask Aether →. Results appear in 15–30 seconds.

Example questions:

• “Did the Federal Reserve raise interest rates in 2023?”
• “Has the minimum wage kept pace with inflation since 1970?”
• “Did the Affordable Care Act reduce the uninsured rate?”

Your question text is sent to the Anthropic Claude API to generate structured evidence and analysis. No personal information — no username, email, or device identifier — is attached to this request.

Aether is local-first. All audit results are stored only on your device. Aether does not store your questions on any Aether-operated server in the standard build.

When you first open Aether, the Agora feed is pre-populated with sample posts labeled [DEMO]. These are seeded example posts that show what the feed looks like with content. They are not real user posts.

No. Aether does not use advertising identifiers, analytics SDKs, crash reporting, or cross-app tracking. There are no ads. App Tracking Transparency (ATT) is not triggered because Aether does not track users.
