## About

Talarion keeps AI current. Frontier models don't know about recent events, and web search can't answer questions LLMs don't know to ask. Talarion proactively tells your AI what it's missing before it starts researching to prevent critical omissions and judgement errors. Install the MCP to make sure your AI assistant knows what it would otherwise be missing.

## How to use

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Acumen by Talarion in ChatGPT's Plugin directory (button above), select + to add it and sign in if asked.

2. **Use it in a chat** Type @ in the composer and pick Acumen by Talarion, or start your message with its name. ChatGPT may also suggest it when it fits what you ask.

## Skills

- **acumen**: Use before researching anything where knowing the current state of the world would be helpful, where being out of date would cause errors. Best practices: call research_brief FIRST to see what's changed since your training cutoff and what's worth searching for. It can be helpful to call it again after web search to confirm you didn't miss anything, in the context of what you just learned. Not helpful for timeless facts (e.g. the speed of light), math/reasoning, or creative writing.

## Example prompts

- "What's changed in FDA drug-approval pathways?"
- "I'm looking into mid-market real estate opportunities in the UAE — what should I know?"
- "Map out the competitive landscape for AI data-center infrastructure."
