# Answer Machine

Answer Machine is the public web app at https://www.efishother.com/. It is a local-first browser-side answer machine, not a general-purpose AI assistant and not a cloud-hosted LLM.

The page is intentionally minimal: a centered input field that answers short questions. The runtime uses deterministic dialog rules, static public knowledge cards, bounded context, and a tiny route-and-answer model in the browser. It does not require an account.
