What Ask inFact Does Not Do
To ensure the quality and credibility of results, Ask inFact only works from available inFact research.
This means Ask inFact doesn’t:
- search the open internet
- generate new forecasts
- invent answers
- replace analyst judgment
- provide information that doesn’t exist in the research library
If the research doesn’t exist, Ask inFact won’t invent it.
While Ask inFact is designed to only pull from the subscriptions you already have access to, all AI is susceptible to errors or hallucinations. The links to the original research that Ask inFact provides make verifying the results easy.
