Brutally Honest
Before you begin
Brutally Honest gives you structured, transparent AI responses. To get the most out of it, read these quick ground rules.
Your input shapes the output
The quality of what you get back depends entirely on what you put in. Vague questions get vague answers. Specific, well-framed questions get clear, useful responses.
Pick the right question type
Fact check — for questions with verifiable answers. The AI will ground its response in evidence and flag what it can’t confirm.
Judgment call — for advice, opinions, or tradeoffs. The AI will lay out considerations and tell you where its reasoning is weak.
Can’t answer — to test guardrails. The AI will explain why it can’t help and suggest a better path.
Every response has four parts
What I can say, what I can’t, why, and what we do next. This structure never changes. It’s how you know where the AI’s knowledge ends and guessing begins.
Tune the posture
Conservative, balanced, or direct — each profile adjusts how freely the AI answers, but the four-part structure stays the same. Start with balanced.
