Epsteinify now includes Chat and Ask Questions: a way to ask questions in plain language and get answers that are grounded only in the indexed Epstein files. This post describes what the feature does, where to find it, and its limitations.

What It Does

Natural-language questions — e.g. “What names are mentioned in any of the flight logs?” or “What meetings were scheduled in December?”
Answers from the corpus only — The system retrieves relevant passages from the indexed documents and uses them to generate an answer. It does not use general knowledge; answers are based solely on the document text.
Citations — When you use the feature on the home page, cited documents appear in the left-hand results list so you can open them and verify.

Where to Find It

Home page — The “Chat and Ask Questions” section appears below the main search area on the welcome view, and in the left sidebar when the sidebar is open.

How to Use It

Type your question in the text field (same style as the search box).
Click Ask.
Read the answer; if you’re on the home page, check the document list on the left for cited sources and click any to open the document.

Limitations

Single question, no conversation — Each question is answered on its own. There is no chat history or follow-up context; every ask is independent.
Indexed documents only — Answers are based only on what has been indexed (e.g. text and metadata we’ve ingested). Documents or content that aren’t in the index won’t be used.
No guarantee of completeness — Retrieval may miss relevant passages. Treat answers as a starting point and use the citations to read the source material yourself.
Question length — Questions are limited to 2,000 characters.
Availability — The feature depends on search (OpenSearch) and the Q&A pipeline being configured and available; if search is down or disabled, chat won’t work.

Best Practices

Ask specific questions (names, dates, types of documents) to get more targeted answers.
Use the cited documents in the results list to verify and explore further.
Combine chat with normal search: use chat to get an overview or suggested documents, then use search and filters to dig deeper.

Getting Started

Go to the home page and use the Chat and Ask Questions section below the search box, or open the left sidebar and use it there.

Epsteinify provides transparent, unfiltered access to Epstein-related documents. The chat feature is intended to help you explore the archive; answers are generated from indexed content only and should be checked against the underlying documents.
