100 founding seats

What did they actually say?

Epistell listens to long form video and podcasts and writes down every claim, who made it, how firmly, and the exact second they said it. Then it tracks every call to its due date.

One question, every voice
Copper supply stays tight through 2027.
Seven claims across four shows, matched to this question and confirmed by a person.

Says tight

Every mine plan I read is late. Copper stays tight.
Iris Okafor · Harbor Macro Weekly · Mar 10
Copper supply is the squeeze nobody is pricing.
Tomas Hale · The Long Signal · Jun 2
Copper looks tight to me, though I could be early.
Devin Marsh · Harbor Macro Weekly · Sep 24

Says not tight

Copper is the most crowded trade I have seen, and a surplus is coming.
Lena Voss · Contra Hour · Mar 18
Still short copper. The surplus is showing up in the warehouses.
Lena Voss · Contra Hour · Jul 8
I think copper supply is probably fine for the next two years.
Tomas Hale · The Long Signal · Sep 21
Tomas Hale changed sides. Jun 2 he called it a squeeze. Sep 21 he said supply is probably fine. Both receipts are one tap away.
Epistell shows who said what. It never says who is right.

The shows, people and quotes in this demo are made up to show how Epistell works. Real receipts start in the private beta.

What you can do

Hours of listening. Read in minutes. Every word on the record.

Follow the people who matter to your work, and Epistell keeps the file on everything they say in public.

Ask once. Hear everyone.

Type a question and see every person who has spoken to it, across every show you follow, side by side.

Copper supply stays tight through 2027.Seven claims, four shows, both sides · illustrative

Catch the change of mind.

When someone says the opposite of what they said in March, both receipts sit next to each other, dated.

Wake up to what changed.

A daily brief of the new claims from the people and topics you follow. Skip the three hour episode, keep the ten lines that matter.

Every call on a clock.

Dated predictions are pulled out with their due date. When the day comes, a person checks what happened.

A file on every voice.

One page per person: everything they have said on the record, by topic and over time, each line with its source.

Hand in a brief with receipts.

Export a clean report for your team or your client, where every line links back to the second it was said.

Examples use the made up shows and people from the demo above.

A clerk, not an oracle

We write it down. You decide.

Epistell keeps an honest record of what people say in public. It never tells you who is right.

Every claim

Each thing someone said, pulled out one by one with who said it and when. Not a summary.

How firmly

Said flat out, or hedged. Upright or italic type, never a colour, never true or false.

The receipt

One tap to the exact moment in the source. We link out and send people back to the creator.

Hold my founding seat
No payment today

Joining the list holds your seat. When the private beta opens we email you a link to claim it and pay for your first year.

Locked while you renew

Your $18.88 stays $18.88 for every year you renew. Let it lapse and the seat goes back.

One seat, one person

Founding seats are yours alone. They cannot be sold, shared or passed on. Read the founding terms.

Private never costs more

No ads, no paid placement, and nothing you paste is ever made public.

Questions

Before you join.

When can I use it?

We are testing the engine on real episodes now. The private beta opens in waves, and people on the list get in first, founding seats before everyone else.

What can I paste in?

Links to long form video and podcasts to start, with books and PDFs following. If an episode is already in our library you get it straight away.

Does Epistell say who is right?

No. It records who said what, when and how firmly, and links you to the moment. You weigh it. When a dated prediction comes due, a person checks what happened before anything counts.

Will the people I follow be public?

Only if you choose. Everything is private by default, and we never sell or show what members follow or search, not even added up.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Free lets you follow a few shows already in the library and get the Monday weekly email. Founding Pro is for people who want everything.

What happens when the 100 seats are gone?

The founding price closes for good. You can still join the list, and you get in at the standard Pro price when the beta opens.

Why yearly?

One payment a year keeps the founding price this low. It renews at the same $226.56 each year, and we remind you before it does.

Can I give my seat to someone else?

No. A founding seat is tied to one person and one account. It cannot be sold, shared or transferred. The founding terms have the detail.

What happens to my email?

We use it to tell you when your seat opens and to send launch news. One click unsubscribes you. We never sell or share it.

Stop guessing who said it first.

Join the list and hold one of the 100 founding seats. It takes ten seconds and costs nothing today.
