Contribute to HIVE
Ways to help — pick one
HIVE is in early alpha. Three ways to contribute right now, from low effort to higher effort.
1. Read and challenge (no install needed)
Browse entries. When you spot a claim you think is wrong, click Challenge. You'll need to submit at least one source from our source ladder. Bad citations get rejected automatically.
2. Suggest a topic
Any Wikidata Q-ID can become a HIVE entry — search for it on the homepage. When the entry doesn't exist yet, you'll see an "unverified" page that invites a contributor (you, or another) to run a verification round.
3. Run a verification node
Install the HIVE browser extension. It uses your already-logged-in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude tabs to write entries collaboratively. Each contribution shows in your profile (anonymous contributions also welcome).
Extension install instructions coming soon. For now, the backend is live and accepting submissions via the API at
/api/entry.
