Software that does the work, and shows its work.
Steel Lantern builds focused tools for people who can't afford a wrong answer: front desks, town clerks, freight brokers, medical practices, store owners, property managers, and the developers building AI agents. Each one does one job end to end, and its answers come from records you can check.

How we build
Three rules we build by.
Our products answer from real sources: your website, public records, official datasets, the page itself.
When a product can't confirm something, it tells you so instead of guessing.
You can see the source behind the answer, so you can check the work yourself.
Scored in public
We don't grade our own work. Outside judges do.
An AI agent is only as good as what it remembers. We build that memory ourselves, and we enter it in open benchmarks where someone else runs the test and posts the score.
Small tier, on the board's default ranking. Answers in about 2 seconds.

Graded on the full textual suite, including memories that change while the conversation is still running. Official rankings are planned for mid-November 2026. We'll post the official result here when the board publishes.

Every tool, checked
every five minutes.
Every 5 minutes, this site asks each tool for an answer and keeps the record. Green means it answered on the last check. Each bar is one day, up to the last 7.

About
One maker.
Ten tools.
Steel Lantern is Bryan, building from Cleveland County, North Carolina, since 2026. Every tool on the wall started as one job someone was doing by hand: picking up the phone after hours, writing up the council meeting, checking a carrier before the load goes out.
Why so many? They all run on the same engine. Pull from the real source, keep the receipt, and say so when something can't be confirmed. Once that engine works, each new job is a short build, and every tool has to hold up against real records before it goes on the wall.
Small is the point. When you write in, the person who built the tool reads it and answers within one business day.
