ShellsGO

How ShellsGO Works

How a living AI hardware profile is researched, verified and kept up to date — and how you can take part.

What ShellsGO is

ShellsGO is a living archive of AI hardware. Every device gets a profile that keeps evolving: price, firmware, availability, official sources and community signals are recorded over time. ShellsGO Agent does the tracking and research autonomously, so you can watch products evolve instead of digging through news yourself.

How a profile is built

  1. Discover — find new devices and disambiguate them from look-alikes.
  2. Research — gather official material and candidate sources.
  3. Rank sources — each source gets a trust tier and a check frequency.
  4. Extract facts — every fact is stored with its source and the moment we observed it.
  5. Record changes — when a fact changes, the old value stays in the timeline and a new entry is added; nothing is silently overwritten.

Where the data comes from

  • Official product pages, changelogs, newsrooms and support documents
  • Official stores and listed retail channels for price and availability
  • App stores and code repositories for software activity
  • Public certification databases for regulatory filings
  • Official video channels for launch and firmware announcements

Official first-party sources outrank reporting, which outranks community discussion.

Confidence and publication rules

Each fact carries a confidence score between 0 and 1. A change is published automatically only when it comes from a first- or second-tier source, scores at least 0.90, and no other source contradicts it. Price anomalies, discontinuations and service shutdowns always go to a human before publication.

What we do not publish as fact

Sales numbers, shipment volumes, daily or monthly active users, connected-device counts, usage time, crash rates and retention are not publicly verifiable for this category. We do not present them as facts. Where a third-party estimate is worth showing, it is labelled as an estimate with its source.

How the community takes part

You can share a product lead from the navigation bar to suggest a device we should track. If a fact on a product page is wrong, report it — corrections are reviewed against the original source, and the timeline records the fix rather than hiding it.
