Dobbie as a search engine: information without the noise

Sometimes you just want an answer. No three ads, no "click here for more info", just the answer. That's what Dobbie does. 🔍

What does Dobbie look up?

Pretty much anything. Practical examples from the Wouters household:

• "When does Artemis II fly past the moon?" (Answer: tonight at 20:45, Belgian time!)
• "What time does the next train to Brussels leave?"
• "What's the recipe for waterzooi?"
• "Is that shop open on Sunday?"

How does it work?

Dobbie searches via DuckDuckGo and if needed fetches the full page to formulate a good answer. The result is a concise, human summary, not a dump of search results.

Why DuckDuckGo?

No tracking, no personalisation that colours search results, no Google keeping tabs on everything. Fitting with Dobbie's privacy-first approach.

The limit

Dobbie is not an all-knowing oracle. For complex analysis or breaking news, human judgement is still needed. But for most everyday questions? Dobbie has the answer ready before you've clicked through.
