Sinter / Free, open-source community tools
You joined to make something happen. Sinter helps with the funding research, minutes and handovers that come with it.
For P&Cs, clubs and volunteer teams. Turn scattered information into useful work, with the sources still in view.
The workshop has a place.
Here's what needs to happen next.
The hall is available on Saturday morning. [1]
Ask about accessible entry before confirming the booking. [2]
Still to decide
Who will bring the equipment?
[1] Venue reply
“The hall is available on Saturday morning.”
[2] Meeting notes
“Check accessible entry before confirming. Equipment owner still to be agreed.”
Start with a real task
Bring what you already have. Sinter gives the work a clear shape, without a lesson in prompt engineering.
An organisation profile. A funding question.
Build a source-linked shortlist, check the requirements you have confirmed and keep searches ready to repeat.
Search watches run while Sinter is open. Missing requirements remain open questions; search absence does not prove funding has closed.
Notes. A transcript. The decisions so far.
Prepare a briefing, agenda item, draft minutes or action register. Keep the original wording and corrections beside the result.
You confirm speakers and review minutes. Optional local speech recognition requires the separate source installation.
Old replies. Policies. Work in progress.
Bring them into a saved community casebook, find the passages that matter and prepare a handover the next volunteer can use.
Keep revisions, backups and coverage visible. An unanswered question stays a question until a person resolves it.
Prepare enquiries, newsletters, consultation questions and event plans. Record actions, owners and confirmed dates, then export CSV, JSON or calendar files.
Compare the exact changed lines in two versions. Line-ending style and the final newline are ignored.
Import an RKC atlas, request cited context or compile selected text with an installed RKC. Review larger collections with checkpoints and visible coverage.
The NeuroForge connection
ERAIS is built around choosing the capability a task needs. Sinter puts that ambition beside the work people already do.
Its local tools organise your sources. When you choose Fracture assistance, Sinter sends the excerpt pack you approve to the Fracture API—the same public intelligence service used by Unified World and the Discord helper.
Local tools and optional RKC knowledge
You choose the context. You review the result.
Your judgement stays central
A source beside the sentence. An open question beside the plan. The original wording when you need to check.
Casebooks retrieve exact passages and show which documents were represented. Preview the excerpt pack before optional AI drafting. Read the result against the originals, then choose what to use.
A wording match is not an answered question or an exhaustive review. Model wording remains unverified, even when its reference identifiers are valid. Sinter never submits a grant, sends an official letter or approves minutes automatically.
A friendly first run
Core installers include Python and open in your existing browser. Local examples need no account, API key or model download.
Check the release receipts for exact OS requirements, compatibility and emulated test coverage.
Community preview: not publisher-signed or notarised. Your operating system or organisation may block installation. Do not disable security protections.
Installation and first-run helpMake yourself comfortable
Choose light or dark appearance, larger reading text, comfortable layouts and reduced motion. Save casebooks and export backups so the work stays yours.
Local tools stay on your computer. Search sends your query; model features send the context you approve. Local storage and exports are not encrypted. Search watches run while Sinter is open; temporary jobs do not survive an app restart. Retained task results can be recovered after a browser connection drops.
Speech recognition is optional and uses a separate source setup. Mixed-room speakers are not automatically identified. Read the speech guide.
Sinter is an Apache-2.0 application using public interfaces. It does not contain proprietary ERAIS or Fracture implementation code or model weights. Local source tools work without a model; optional Fracture-assisted drafts are unverified and require review.
Fracture integration demonstrates an application around the public API, not proof that every operation uses fully native ERAIS. For native from-scratch language generation, try Story Lab. Explore the demos for the different execution paths.
RKC can supply cited atlases without a model. Sinter's Fracture-assisted drafts do not change canonical atlas evidence or qualify an RKC model provider.
The default public API is a capacity-limited preview, not a 24/7 service guarantee. Other providers may have their own charges.
