Search the news by the opinion it takes.
Connect the dots
Type a claim, like "Tariffs raise prices for consumers". Pingen finds the articles that argue for it, the ones that argue against it, and the exact sentences that say so. Then follow the people and companies in them through official records.
Invite-only for now: request access and we'll let you in as space opens. For people in the United States.
Supports the claim
"Inspectors found the plant had skipped sterility checks for months."example.com · quick model
Opposes the claim
"Regulators said the recall was precautionary and no patients were harmed."example.org · AI review
What Pingen does
Built for people who need to know who said what, who is connected to whom, and what the record shows: journalists, analysts, researchers and law offices.
Opinion search
Search a claim, not a keyword. Results split into articles that support it, oppose it, or cover it without taking a side, each with the sentences that show why. Filter by people, organizations and dates.
Entity map
See who and what each article mentions, who appears together across the news, and the known connections between people, companies and agencies, up to four steps apart.
Official records
SEC filings, court cases, FDA recalls, lobbying reports, campaign money and bills in Congress, linked to the same people and companies, beside your search results.
Research boards and alerts
Pin articles, quotes, records and connections to a board, add notes, and get an AI-written summary of how they fit. Follow a claim, a person or a board and get an email when something new appears.

A claim, both sides, and who's in it
- Type a claim: "Nuclear power is the answer to climate change."
- The quick model sorts every article; the AI review re-reads the most relevant and finds 9 for and 9 against.
- Pick an article to see who it mentions, then a person to read exactly what it says about them.
Look anyone up, and let the AI sum it up
- Click Entities and type a name: Boeing.
- Its page shows who it's tied to. Here, its lobbying: the firms working for it, and the agencies and bills it lobbied.
- Filter its official records to court cases and ask for a summary. Then summarize its news coverage, with the records cited beside the articles.
From the news to the official record
- Search a claim about a company: "Pfizer cut corners on drug safety."
- Beside the articles, the records closest to the claim: here, FDA recalls for sterility problems.
- Open the company's page: its filings, ownership and lobbying, and how it connects to others, step by step.
Collect it on a board
- Pin a record (or an article, a quote, a connection) to a research board.
- Link what you've found (supports, leads to, came before) and let Tidy line it up along the links.
- Let the AI write up how it fits together, with every point tied to its source.
What's in it
Pingen reads open news sites around the clock and links every article to the people and organizations it names.
Counted November 1, 2026; updated through the day.
How results are judged
Every article in a search gets a side. Two models do the judging, both running on Pingen's own computer: nothing you search is sent to an outside AI company.
The article argues the claim is true, or reports facts that back it.
The article argues against the claim, or reports facts that cut against it.
On the same topic, without arguing either way: still listed, separately.
- The quick model judges every relevant article in seconds and shows its results first.
- The AI review, a larger language model, then re-reads the most relevant articles and replaces the quick model's call where it disagrees (the 15 most relevant; 8 when many people are searching at once).
- Each result shows the sentences behind its side, a confidence score, which model decided it, and a link to the article on the publisher's own site.
- Models make mistakes. Treat sides as a starting point for your own reading, not as fact, and check the original before you rely on it.

Questions
Where does the news come from?
Openly available news sites and their public feeds, about 4,000+ of them. Pingen respects each site's crawling rules, never gets around paywalls, and shows only short excerpts with a link to the full article.
Does my research stay private?
Yes. Your boards, notes and alerts are visible only to you. The AI runs on Pingen's own computer, so your searches aren't sent to an AI company or used to train models. There's no advertising or tracking. See the Privacy Policy.
How accurate are the sides and the matches?
Good enough to point you to the right articles quickly, but not perfect. Every result shows its sentences and links to the original. If a person or a relationship is matched wrongly, report it with ⚑ and it's reviewed.
How do I get in?
Request access, confirm your email, and you'll get an email when your account is ready. Pingen is for people in the United States who are 18 or older.
