How it works

From scroll to swipe, in seven moves.

A walk-through of one morning with Khali — from the first tap on the icon to the moment your reel starts asking different questions. No demo accounts, no fake screens; everything below is exactly what the app does.

STEP 01

Open. One screen.

Apple, Google, or continue as guest. No password, no email confirmation, no onboarding tour. The wordmark sits over a warm gradient; you're inside the app in three seconds.

STEP 02

Tell us, roughly, what you like.

Six dials — Science, Politics, Culture, Sports, World, Business — start at .50. Drag two or three, skip the rest. You're not committing to anything; the dials keep learning every time you swipe.

Science
.78
Politics
.50
Culture
.65
Sports
.14
World
.72
Business
.50
STEP 03

Your reel is warming up.

A 12-second wait while Khali pulls 40 sources, ranks them against your dials, and trims duplicates. Six cards arrive. The first is already loaded — the rest queue under it.

✓ 42 sources ✓ Duplicates trimmed ⟳ Ranking against dials · 6 stories
STEP 04

Read the headline. Reveal the claim.

Every card shows the headline by default. Tap Reveal Claim and the story compresses into a single yes/no proposition. The blue glow on the right shows where your thumb should go to agree.

Mars mining rights: a new treaty stalls in Geneva.
Resources mined on Mars should belong to the company that extracts them.

STEP 05

Not sure? Ask first.

Type into the field at the bottom of the card. Khali answers in three lines with cited sources — context, history, opposing arguments, definitions. The card doesn't disappear; you can keep asking until you have a position you can defend.

What does the 1967 treaty say?
QUICK INSIGHT The Outer Space Treaty bars nations from claiming celestial bodies — but is silent on private extraction. Most lawyers read that silence as a loophole.
And the new draft?
QUICK INSIGHT The 2026 Geneva draft would require a 51% public stake in any extracted ore. It's backed by France, blocked by the U.S.

STEP 06

Swipe. See the room.

Once you commit, the claim opens up: how the wider Khali audience landed, with splits by age, region, and reading time. No comment threads, no replies — just the shape of the disagreement.

STEP 07

Tomorrow's reel already listens.

Every vote nudges the weight sheet — topics, sources, sentiment. Six stories tomorrow, ranked against six new dials. You can re-read your own positions any time; you can change your mind any time.

A few things we don't do

No infinite scroll. No push at midnight.

Six cards a day, surfaced once at 6:00 local. When the reel is done, the app politely says so. No comments to argue with. No upvotes-on-upvotes. No streaks, no ranks, no badges.
