kelve

Kelve is a voice-only AI research assistant that won't answer for you. As you talk through what you're investigating, it searches the web (via Brave API) and suggests which pages are worth opening, but never summarizes a page. When you're done, it writes up your findings in your requested format using only the exact words and findings you spoke, linking each page you read to the related point in the text so results can be verified. Backend is written in Rust.

What it addresses

Having answers handed to you by AI answers, AI-generated documents or research creates the illusion of knowhow without real understanding. Kelve keeps some of the productivity benefits of AI while ensuring it never does the reading and thinking that form real understanding.

    “I'm currently working on kelve (https://kelve.ai/) - an AI research tool that won't answer for you. You talk through what you're looking into, it searches the web for you as you go and suggests which pages are worth opening. It never summarises a page.”
