Referee clears it done", "summary": "Referee.Chat, a new AI-powered tool, uses a panel of AI agents to verify claims by searching literature on arXiv, OpenAlex, Crossref, and Europe PMC, and running Python to check arithmetic. The tool features a shared ledger for long-running tasks and a mechanism for agents to hand off specific questions when stuck. It aims to replace opinions with evidence-based verification.", "body_md": "Evidence, not opinions\n\nEvery seat searches the literature on arXiv, OpenAlex, Crossref and Europe PMC, reads the sources, and runs Python to check arithmetic instead of asserting it. A claim with nothing re-checkable behind it cannot settle a criterion.\n\nStuck is a move, not a failure\n\nWhen a seat hits a wall it stops and hands one specific question to whichever seat is best placed to answer it — with just that question, not the whole history. Cheaper than letting a model thrash, and it usually unblocks.\n\nLong goals survive\n\nEverything established goes in a shared ledger, so nothing is re-derived and nothing is forgotten. Matches pause and resume without losing work — close the tab and come back tomorrow.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-referee-chat-set-the-goal-an-ai-panel-works-referee-clears-it-done", "canonical_source": "https://referee.chat/", "published_at": "2026-08-13 23:53:33+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-14 00:11:49.204687+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-agents", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Referee.Chat", "arXiv", "OpenAlex", "Crossref", "Europe PMC"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-referee-chat-set-the-goal-an-ai-panel-works-referee-clears-it-done", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-referee-chat-set-the-goal-an-ai-panel-works-referee-clears-it-done.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-referee-chat-set-the-goal-an-ai-panel-works-referee-clears-it-done.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-referee-chat-set-the-goal-an-ai-panel-works-referee-clears-it-done.jsonld"}}
