How are you going to take care of the genuineness of the data

AI agents have to cite sources for each thing (there's a bug with displaying sources, it should let u click a fact and send you to where the agent got it. I'm working on fixing that right now). Users can also flag errors, and I'm going to periodically run fact-checking agents and manually go in and check info. However, obviously this will likely still not be perfect, accuracy will probably be the number 1 challenge with this site.

I expected the VERIFIED badges to link to some sort of provenance information. That seems like a must, otherwise (given the "assume everything's incorrect" disclaimers) I'm not sure why one would take that badge seriously.

I got the agents to cite sources, there's a bug with fetching the urls from the DB, the way it should work is when you hit verified it leads you to the source, working on fixing it now. Also I will try to add an agent ledger tab soon, that shows exactly what the agents were doing.

It is unclear how I can list my company here. Are small companies coming later?

just launched the button, click it, fill out form, il manually go in aprove, and write your profile.

I get "JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data"
