Frontier AI can reason about what users might think. Askli surrounds that intelligence with research: participant evidence, adaptive conversations, synthesis, and integrity checks. We tested that difference in two controlled experiments.
Benchmark 01
Does a research workflow improve the same AI?
We gave the same research question to frontier model families in two conditions: a direct, one-shot answer and a structured research workflow.
+13 pointson a 40-point research-usefulness rubric
Benchmark 01: adding research structure improved the usefulness of frontier-model output.
Evidence matters
Benchmark 02: when the workflow had participant evidence rather than artifact-only inference, it recovered the controlled evidence substantially more accurately.
Neither benchmark claims Askli has a smarter model. That's not the point.
Askli uses frontier intelligence differently: to do research rather than substitute for it.
