WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU USE IT

Ask a question. Fund a meal.

  1. 01You ask.
  2. 02It streams.
  3. 03It cites.
  4. 04It runs code.
  5. 05A meal lands.
STEP 01

Type a real question, in real words.

No template. No prompt-engineering priesthood. LADLE handles ambiguity the way a good colleague would: asks a clarifying question if needed, then gets on with it.

STEP 02

The first sentence arrives while the last is still writing.

Word-by-word streaming from Claude Sonnet. You read as it thinks. No spinner in front of an answer that’s already ready.

STEP 03

When it searches the web, it shows you where.

Inline citation chips link to a right-hand source rail. Every claim traces to a URL. If we can’t cite it, we don’t say it.

STEP 04

Explains SQL, drafts Python, renders tables.

Syntax-highlighted, copy-ready. 200K context means a whole schema dump fits. Explanations sit alongside, not below.

STEP 05

$0.80 for every ten conversations you have.

At the end of the month, $8 of your $20 becomes ten meals through the partner we select. Confirmation reference published the day the donation clears.

01 · LONG CONTEXT

200K tokens fits a 10-K.

Most 'AI can read long documents' claims come with a footnote. LADLE doesn't. The full 200,000-token window is available on every chat — roughly 300 pages of English prose, one full annual report, a decently-sized codebase.

02 · CITED SEARCH

Search that shows its work.

When you turn on search mode, LADLE queries the live web and returns answers with inline citations that link to a right-hand rail of sources. If we can't cite it, we don't say it. If a citation exists, that URL was really retrieved and used — verify.

03 · FILES & VISION

Drop it, ask it.

PDFs, images, spreadsheets, code files — up to 30 attachments per chat. The composer accepts drag-and-drop and preserves file structure (PDFs stay paginated, spreadsheets keep rows-and-columns). No chunking-and-summarizing behind your back.

04 · CODE

Reads schemas. Writes migrations. Explains stack traces.

Syntax-highlighted code blocks with a plain-word COPY affordance. Optimized for reading long snippets on a laptop. 40+ languages. For unfamiliar codebases, paste the file plus its two most-related callers — the style match is meaningfully better with context.

05 · PROJECTS

Grouped chats with shared context.

A Project holds a set of chats + attached files + an optional voice guide. Every chat in the Project sees the shared context without you re-uploading. The move from 'ephemeral scratchpad' to 'assistant that remembers who you are' is one setup step per topic.

06 · MEALS

The other half of the product.

Every capability above is one axis. The other axis is the fund report: $8 of every $20 subscription is earmarked into the meal fund — ten meals reserved — pooling toward a $50,000/year commitment, the threshold we have set for ourselves before signing a formal partnership with the hunger-relief charity we select. Every month we publish a fund report with a reference number. It's not a marketing sticker — it's an accounting entry with a public URL.
