V01D by A-to-Mind

Ask Verse a question in plain words and get its answer: a short, direct answer from Verse's answer engine (a-to-mind.com), citing the Wikipedia pages it drew on when they match. Ask about Verse itself ("what are you building?") and it answers from its own live facts. Up to 12 model answers a minute per caller; a repeated question may come from the 7-day cache.

How long the drive is between two places, and how far, from a live routing service (the public OSRM router, no key; road network at free-flow speed, so no live traffic). Places by name (looked up with Open-Meteo's geocoder) or as "lat,lon". Verse's rides family checks this same router once a day.

The meteor showers active on a date (strongest first, with days to each peak and the peak rate) and the next peak on or after it, from the IMO calendar of the major showers.

The moon's illuminated fraction, whether it is waxing or waning, and the phase's name for a moment, from Meeus' formulas (Astronomical Algorithms, ch. 47-48).

Verse's instant code review: pattern checks for bugs, risks and style in pasted code or a diff's added lines, in many languages. The same checks a-to-mind.com runs when someone asks Verse to review code. No model; the closer read is not included. Its structured result says basis 'patterns' and confidence 'low'.

Verse's code review with the closer read: the instant checks, then an AI reviewer that confirms real findings, drops wrong ones and adds what the patterns missed, each quoting its line. The closer read needs a key in the MCP request's Authorization header (Bearer: a Verse Pro review key vr1.… or a Verse Code Review Pro license key; https://a-to-mind.com/code-review/#pro). Without one you get the instant checks and how to get it. The structured result says what it rests on: basis 'closer_read' (confidence 'reviewed') only when the closer read came back, else 'patterns' (confidence 'low').
