Getting Started

Dr Moot is built around one idea: ask once, let several models work the answer over, then inspect the result before you trust it. Everything you need for that lives on a single screen.

The Lab

The Lab is the main workspace. From top to bottom:

• Transcript — your prompts and the panel's work. Each assistant turn shows the deliberation stages first (openings, critiques, verdicts) and the final answer beneath them. Steps stream live as the models write.
• Composer — type your prompt here. The toolbar around it holds every run control:
  • Mode picker — Relay, Debate, Moot, or Auto (the default). See Modes.
  • Rounds — in Debate and Moot, choose 1–3 critique rounds.
  • Paperclip — attach up to 5 files (PDF, DOCX, images, and more). See Attachments.
  • Globe — toggle web search on when the answer depends on current information.
  • Model pair — optionally override which models take part in this run.
  • Send / Stop — the send button becomes a stop button while a run is streaming.

The history sidebar

Every conversation is saved automatically.

• Click any earlier conversation to reopen it — including its full deliberation record.
• New chat starts a clean conversation with no prior context.
• Delete conversations you no longer need directly from the sidebar.

If you refresh the page while a run is in flight, Dr Moot reattaches to the live run and catches you up — you don't lose the deliberation.

The settings overlay

Open Settings from your user menu (it's an overlay — you never leave the Lab).

• Account — profile, security, notification preferences, billing, plus your Dr Moot preferences: review style and personal model overrides.
• Organization — appears when you have an active organization: general settings, members, and organization billing.
• Administration — appears when your user role is admin: user management, organizations, and the shared model configuration.

The full map is in Settings.

The shape of a typical run

1. Start a new chat (or continue an old one if its context matters).
2. Leave the mode on Auto, or pick one deliberately.
3. Attach files or enable web search if the question needs them.
4. Send a concrete prompt — decision, constraints, what a good answer optimizes for.
5. Watch the panel deliberate; expand any stage to read the drafts and critiques.
6. Read the final answer and the disagreement that produced it.
7. Ask follow-ups in the same chat, or reset with a new one.

When Dr Moot is the right tool

Reach for Dr Moot when the cost of a wrong answer is higher than the cost of a slower one:

• decisions you're about to commit to,
• plans that need a strong counterargument before they ship,
• claims that should be checked against sources,
• anything where you'd normally ask a colleague to "poke holes in this."

For quick throwaway questions, a single-model chat is cheaper and faster — Dr Moot earns its keep when the answer matters.
