What's broken today
- ×ChatGPT hallucinates case citations and made-up statutes.

Open Hobnob AIFAQ
Can Hobnob replace Westlaw or LexisNexis?
It complements them. Hobnob is great for fast research, summarisation and drafting; you should still verify pinpoint citations against your primary source of record.
Is it safe for confidential client work?
Yes — Incognito is the default, queries are never used to train models, and Pro/Business plans get zero ad tracking. For privileged matters, use the Pro plan and disable share links.
Is my data private?
Yes. Hobnob runs in Incognito mode by default — your queries are not used to train any AI model, and Pro/Business plans get zero ad tracking.
Do I need a credit card?
No. The free plan gives you unlimited AI search forever, no card required. Upgrade only when you want Pro Search, Deep Research or larger file uploads.
