to get in, open "hub" at the top right and choose create account. paste this code, then pick a username and a pin. the code is shared, so every judge makes their own account.
a reader that runs on your own machine.
paste a letter, a form, an email. aethel says it in plain words, marks the parts that matter, checks it for the shape of a scam, drafts your reply, and rehearses the call with you. all of it happens here, on this device.
five moving parts, one pass.
classify
a naive-bayes model names the kind of document.
extract
regex lifts out dates, amounts, references, the sender.
know
a knowledge base supplies rights, duties, who to call.
weigh
the trust lens marks pressure, scam, clarity, verify.
write
a template grammar builds the plain version.
plain python, read end to end.
the brain is a small python package: a classifier trained on a baked corpus, regex extractors, a rules and knowledge layer, a four-lens trust check, and a grammar that generates language. a loader checks every field before it reaches the screen, and puts a human in the loop the moment a real decision is at stake.
the lines we hold.
grounded
every fact carries a quote from your letter. what cannot be grounded gets dropped.
patterns, not verdicts
the trust lens names what the text is doing. it never calls a person a liar.
your call
the decision goes back to you, in your language. aethel never signs or speaks for you.
made for one real moment.
a teenager at the kitchen table, holding a letter the grown-ups cannot read. aethel was built for her. it understands the letter, shows what it hides, rehearses the call nobody helps with, and hands a calm version back to the family. its own engine does this offline, so what is private stays in the room. a clear problem, a build that runs, a design that returns the choice to a person.
