How CueCrux compares
Trust-first AI is a different category: cryptographic receipts, minimal evidence sets, and replayable answers. This page shows how that contrasts with search-first tools, chat assistants, and knowledge bases.

Each category solves a different job. CueCrux creates the trust-engine category so evidence and provenance come first.
Perplexity, Bing AI
Search-first tools
Great for breadth and fast discovery, but answers aren't designed around proofs or audit trails.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude
Chat assistants
Fluent conversation and drafting, but citations are optional and fragile.
Notion AI, Confluence AI
Enterprise knowledge bases
Organised content and collaboration; verification and receipts are manual.

Short summary by category
CueCrux
Built to be audited
Signed receipts, MiSES evidence sets, provenance ledger, and replay keep answers provable months later.
Search-first
Great for discovery
Fast breadth and freshness; less suited when you need receipts, counterfactuals, or tenant isolation.
Chat assistants & KBs
Great for drafting & sharing
Excellent for authoring and collaboration; verification, licensing, and evidence minimisation stay manual.
