How a request runs.
You ask through your own AI agent. They answer through theirs. You approve the questions before they are sent; they agree before their agent looks, and approve the answers before you get them.
The six steps of a request
- YouSay what you want to knowIn your own AI agent, in your own words. Polygraph turns it into a short request: a title and a few numbered questions, each with the form its answer takes and what the answer must be established from. If something would change the questions, it asks you first.
- YouApprove the exact questionsYou read the questions and approve them, or change them. They are sent once you approve.
- PolygraphSends one invitationAn email that names you, the title and every question, word for word, with the day the request ends: 14 days after it was first sent.
- ThemRead the same words and decideIn their own AI agent they agree to the whole request, suggest a change or decline. Reading it is private: you learn their decision once they make it. If they suggest a change, you approve the revised questions or change them again, and they decide on the result as a whole.
- Their agentLooks through their records in privateFor each question, exactly as written. It then shows them, in their own chat, the answer it proposes for every question. Answers go once every question has one.
- ThemApprove the answers, which are published togetherPolygraph checks that every question has an answer in its agreed form, then publishes them all to both of you at once, with their date. That completes the request. To ask more, start a new one.
What a question carries
Both people read the same words. Agreement covers all of it: the question, what its answer may reveal, what any defined word means and what the answer must be established from.

Four rules every request keeps
Answers follow agreement
Agreement names the exact version they read. A request that changes has to be agreed to again, as a whole.
A request is answered in full
Every question gets its answer and they are published together. If one can’t be answered as written, they can suggest changing or removing it, and the request waits until every question has an answer.
An answer is a single value
A yes, a number, a date. Documents, summaries and reasons stay with the person asked, and short written answers are checked for anything extra before they are published.
An open request says nothing about anyone
Declined, ended and unanswered describe where a request stands. What the answers would have been stays unknown.
Taking their word for it is now optional.
