Verdict

A second opinion
that picks a side.

Don’t bother anyone else with your indecisive behavior. Give Verdict two options, a photo of each or a few words, say what it’s for, and it picks one. It tells you why, how sure it is, and what the other one does better. It never says “it depends”.

Verdict on an iPhone after a verdict. Option A, a pale warm paint chip, has the lime ring; option B, the deep green, has drained to grey and stepped back. Below the inputs: Option A wins.
A real verdict. Two paint chips for a small bedroom that faces north.

01What it is

The second opinion that actually answers.

When you can’t choose between two things, you ask someone. You text a friend a photo, post a poll, ask whoever is nearby. And you get “both are nice”, or “depends what you want”.

Verdict is built to commit. It’s told never to refuse, never to say “it depends” and never to split the difference. When it’s close, it says so with a low score, and it still picks one.

It weighs the two options, in the photos or in your words, against what you said they’re for, like a sharp friend with taste, not a flatterer. If you say which way you’re leaning, it decides without seeing that, so when it agrees with you, it means something.

Then it asks which one you went with. A second opinion is only worth having if it holds up, and that is how Verdict keeps score.

02How it works

Two options in.
One pick out.

  1. 01

    Add the two options

    Take a photo of each right in Verdict, pick two from your library, or just type them. Clothes, paint, a gift, two plans for Saturday: if it’s this or that, Verdict can weigh it.

    Verdict, empty: a frame for option A and one for option B, each with Take a photo and Pick from library, then a context line, Leaning A, Leaning B or No lean, and the button.
  2. 02

    Say what it’s for

    One line, like “which jacket for a winter trip to Tokyo”. It’s optional, but it’s the difference between a guess and a judgment: the more it knows, the sharper the call. If one detail would change the answer, like which anniversary it is, it asks you one short question first. Answer it, or tell it to just decide.

    Both paint chips added, the context typed in: Bedroom walls. Small room, faces north, not much daylight. Leaning B is on.
  3. 03

    Say which way you’re leaning

    Also optional. The judge never sees it: it decides blind, and only then does Verdict tell you whether it agrees with you or overrules you.

  4. 04

    Get the verdict

    One winner, never a tie, and how sure it is: 55 is close to a coin flip, 75 is a clear call, 90 and up is obvious. The loser drains to grey and steps back; the winner gets the ring.

    After the verdict: A has the lime ring, B has drained to grey. Option A wins.
  5. 05

    Read why, then say what you did

    Three reasons, and what the other one does better, so you know what you’re giving up. Then it asks which one you actually went with. Answering is optional.

    The verdict card: Option A wins. 85% confident. It overrules your lean. Three reasons, what the other one does better, and Which did you actually go with? Went with A, Went with B.

The verdict on these screens is real and unedited. The photos are two paint chips we made for this page; the call (A, 85% sure, against a lean for B) is what Verdict said.

03Examples

Anything that’s this or that.

A photo or a few words for each, one line about what it’s for. A few to start with:

Two options, one line, and the time and weather where you are: that’s all it sees. It always needs two, so “what should I wear” won’t work but “jeans or chinos” will. Keep it to calls like these, not health, money or legal ones, and don’t show it anything you wouldn’t show a stranger.

05Questions

Good to know.

Is it free?

To try, yes. In a browser it’s free: every verdict is a real call to an AI model, so each person gets 6 an hour, and Verdict stops for the day after 150 in all. A follow-up question doesn’t count as one. On iPhone, each iPhone gets 5 verdicts free. After that there are two plans, bought in the App Store: Plus, 30 verdicts a month, for $5 a month or $30 a year, and Pro, unlimited within fair use (up to 250 a month) and up to four options at once, for $10 a month or $50 a year. Those are US prices; the App Store shows yours before you pay.

Where do my photos and words go?

Once, to Anthropic’s Claude, the AI model that makes the call, under Anthropic’s terms: it doesn’t train on them, and deletes them within 30 days. Verdict itself keeps neither. On iPhone, a photo you take in Verdict isn’t saved to your camera roll either.

What does Verdict keep?

The line you typed about what it’s for, its answer (which can name your options), and which one you went with, if you say. Not the options themselves. Instead of your internet address it keeps a scrambled code. No photos, no account, no name or email.

What can I compare?

Any two options: clothes, shoes, paint, food, two listings, two gifts, two plans. Photograph them, or type them in a few words. A photo is judged on what’s in the frame, so get each option in clear light. Big phone photos are made smaller on your phone before they go up.

What won’t it decide?

Anything that could hurt you, another person or an animal; it points you to help instead. Medical, legal and money calls, which need someone who knows your situation. Anything nude or sexual. Ranking one person against another. And ways to break the law, cheat or deceive someone. The terms have the rest.

Does it work on a computer?

Yes. Open it in any browser and drop the two photos in, or type the two options. Chrome and Edge can install it as an app; on a Mac, Safari can add it to the Dock.

Does it work offline?

Once it’s on your Home Screen it opens without a connection, but it needs the internet to decide.
