Ian Carroll has publicly demonstrated an incredible new application (called Webb) he developed to facilitate his investigation into the Epstein files. It will be open source and available free, especially to those working with large numbers of files.

The application locally imports large caches of files (such as the 70,000 files in the most recent Epstein release,) automatically converts the files to a text-based, searchable and indexable file format (JSON, I believe) which can then be linked to an AI tool of choice and searched.

Video files can also be converted, with transcripts also indexed and searchable.

Output is easy. For instance, search "find all instances that hazards of HPV are mentioned," and in the right column, the application creates long list of results each containing a text summary as it relates to the search parameters, along with a link to document mentioned. Click the link, and that document opens in the middle column. In the case of videos, the link opens the video to the exact spot where the mention to the listed result was made.

The application also has something of a presentation area where files can be dragged and arranged as desired to create a presentation format.

The application is currently near release, but being updated with new features. Ian Carroll is looking for beta testers, and anyone can sign up at thewebb.io

I've seen it demonstrated several times on his Twitch page (canceliancarroll) and each time I think of you and Miss Katherine wading through those masses of documents (thank you, so much.)
