Sound familiar?
01
Generalist AI cites things that don't exist
ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini will confidently produce a paragraph citing UN Resolution 1234/56 that has never existed. Model Diplomat does not. Every citation maps to a real document — because Model Diplomat is built on a curated knowledge base, not a fuzzy memory of the open web.
02
Web search wrappers can't reason about primary sources
Perplexity is excellent at retrieving and summarizing web pages. But the web's coverage of a 2007 UN General Assembly vote is thin — and the secondary blog posts that survive Google's ranking are often the worst sources. Model Diplomat reaches for primary documents first.
03
Real research wants follow-ups
Good research isn't a single query. It's: ask, get an answer with citations, follow a thread, re-ask sharper, drill down. Model Diplomat AI Search is built for that loop — every answer suggests follow-up queries, and conversations preserve context across the thread.
What you get.
Ask anything political or diplomatic
Country positions, treaty text, voting history, conflict context, policy comparisons, historical events. Model Diplomat answers in seconds with citations to verifiable sources.
Citations on every claim
Each factual statement links to a numbered source — UN resolution, treaty article, official statement, peer-reviewed paper. Click the citation to verify.
Streaming answers
Answers stream token-by-token as Model Diplomat reasons through sources — so you see the answer take shape and can stop or redirect early if you're going the wrong direction.
Follow-up suggestions
Every answer ends with 3 suggested follow-ups — sharper, narrower, or adjacent queries that take you deeper into the topic without breaking your flow.
Context-aware threading
Conversations preserve context. Ask about Iran's nuclear program, then ask 'and how does Russia view this?' — Model Diplomat carries the topic forward without you re-stating it.
No fabrication guarantee
Model Diplomat's architecture makes it structurally difficult to invent sources — citations come from a verified knowledge base, not pattern completion. When a question can't be answered from real sources, Model Diplomat says so.
Common questions.
What sources does Model Diplomat actually use?
UN documents (resolutions, debates, reports), treaty text, ICJ and ICC rulings, government ministry statements, IMF/World Bank country reports, peer-reviewed IR and political-science literature, and curated news from established foreign-affairs publications. See the Model Diplomat Methodology page for the full source list.
How is this different from Perplexity or ChatGPT search?
Perplexity searches the open web at query time. ChatGPT mostly searches its training data. Model Diplomat searches a curated political and diplomatic knowledge base — so for political and diplomatic questions, our coverage is deeper, more current on primary sources, and substantially less prone to fabrication. For non-political queries, Model Diplomat is not the right tool.
Is it free to try?
Yes. The free tier gives you AI search with citations, country profiles, and the public knowledge base. Pro ($3/week or $10/month) unlocks unlimited searches and the specialist tools (position paper helper, crisis directive analyzer, debate simulations).
Can I cite Model Diplomat in academic work?
Cite the underlying primary sources Model Diplomat surfaces — that's what your reader (or chair, or examiner) needs to verify. Model Diplomat is the research tool, the same way a library catalog is a tool. The citations themselves should be to the actual documents.
