About
The free gardener, grown not harvested
What this is
freegardner is an independent science and technology magazine — powered by an investigative AI content system. We read current research in astrophysics, biology, chemistry and engineering, and turn it into original, in-depth articles with citations, AI-generated illustrations and fact-checking built into the process. Four rubrics, one editor’s chair: Science, Synapse, EconPol and Markets.
How it works
Every article runs through the same pipeline, and nothing skips it:
- Automated research. A research pass collects the primary material — papers, filings, official statements, measurements — before a single sentence is written.
- Numerical plausibility checks. Quantities, units and percentages are checked against the source; a number that cannot be traced is not printed as fact.
- LLM-based review. A second model audits the draft against the collected sources and marks every claim it cannot confirm.
- Source validation. The final text must carry its sources — linked, not summarised. What is not covered by a source is either removed or named as an open question.
In Markets the numbers at the top of a piece are our own tape: measured, timestamped, and named as ours — never sold as a tip.
Our promise
No copy-paste. No unchecked claims. Only investigative, fact-checked articles — published with transparency and care. Illustrations are AI-generated and labelled as such; when we get something wrong, the correction goes into the text itself.
What we believe
- Source first. A claim without a source is a rumour with good posture.
- Measure, then speak. Numbers come from instruments, not from memory.
- No tips. We describe patterns; we never tell anyone what to buy.
- Correction over bravado. Being right matters more than sounding certain.
Who is behind it
A human with a workshop and a machine that reads faster than he does. The work should speak for itself, so it does the talking here. If something is wrong, or if something interests you, write to us — the message arrives, no algorithm decides whether it is worth reading.
