   weight 2 · round to Martin
   Poke—none0/10

   No evidence describes Poke performing web search, retrieval-augmented answers, or providing citations back to sources; docs focus on messaging, integrations, MCP tooling, and account features, not grounded research answers.

   ⚑ flag

   Martin~partialclaimed4/10

   Martin claims to sync with multiple search engines to find relevant information (martin-docs-8), suggesting web-grounded answers, but there is no evidence of citation formatting, source linking, or hands-on verification that answers include traceable citations back to web sources. Missing for 10: documentation or examples showing inline citations/source links, independent corroboration of search-grounded answer quality, and detail on which search engines/sources are used.

   • [claimed-docs] “Martin syncs with multiple search engines to find you the most relevant information.”

   Martin—none0/10

   No evidence in the pack mentions any setting, policy, or statement about whether user conversations/data are used for model training; community comments explicitly raise privacy/trust concerns without any documented opt-out or training-control mechanism (martin-comm-2, martin-comm-3).
