Sound familiar?

You want to know if the chemist is open and end up on three websites.

The person who would know is not online, and never will be.

Asking a group chat means waiting for someone to be awake.

What you could do with it

Things you could set up this afternoon.

Ask who is open right now, at half nine on a Sunday.
Ask for a phone number without hunting through a listing.
Ask what is on tonight and get tonight, not last month.
Text the question from a flip phone and get the answer back the same way.
Ask how long the wait is somewhere before setting off.
Share the answer as a link, because the answer has its own page.
How it works
  1. 1 Type the question, or text it.
  2. 2 It is answered from what the site already knows.
  3. 3 No account, and it works with JavaScript off.
Questions people ask
Is this a chatbot?

No. There is no model and no outside service. It reads the same opening hours and events the rest of the site shows, so the answer is exactly as current as the site is.

Do you keep my phone number?

No. It is hashed on the way in so the same sender can be rate-limited, and the number itself is never stored.

What if it does not know?

It says so and falls back to a search, rather than inventing something.

Try it — it costs nothing
