The research desk behind every great delegate.

No. Model Diplomat is retrieval-first: it searches an index of treaties, UN votes, cables, case law, and peer-reviewed work before it writes a word. The retrieval pipeline cannot cite a document that is not in its index — so every footnote points to something real you can open.

They answer from an open-web model; Model Diplomat answers from an index of the primary record — treaties with their ratification history, UN roll-call votes, declassified cables, court reporters, official datasets. A general chatbot can describe a resolution it has never read. This one has to find the document first, and shows you which one it found.

A sourced morning briefing on what's actually happening in the world — the signal, with the primary record behind each item, so you stay current without the endless social-media scroll.

Primary documents are first-class: treaties and their ratification records, UN voting records, declassified cables, court reporters and case law, official statistical datasets, and peer-reviewed scholarship. Each source carries its type, date, and a confidence score, and you can open the original.

The free plan costs nothing and needs no card: 200 searches on day one, then 50 a day, plus every Learn drill, Discover story, and country profile. Pro is the one paid plan. At full price (the US) it is $20 a month, or $144 a year billed up front, which works out to $12 a month. The price depends on your country, and the pricing page shows yours. Pro begins with a 3-day free trial; the trial needs a card and turns into a paid subscription when it ends unless you cancel, and you can cancel anytime. School and team plans are available on request.

Model Diplomat is a web app: it works in any modern browser on a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop, with nothing to download and the same account everywhere.
