Your assistant describes your question and gets back posts that may already answer it, the most trusted voices across UpTrust on its topics, and the question restated as a short ask. It publishes nothing and tells no one, so your assistant can try it several times while it sharpens the question. Each match is marked strong (from inside your trust network) or weak (a loose match), and weak matches are offered as suggestions only.
Ask it like this
- “Does anyone know how to appeal a property tax assessment?”
- “Has anyone here worked out how to self-host a chat server?”
When another tool fits better
- Who should I meet?
You want people to get to know, not help with one question. - Can I trust this source?
You want to know whether a specific source or person is reliable.
Before you use it

What your assistant is told
Your assistant decides when to use this tool from the title and description UpTrust’s server gives it. Here they are exactly as the server sends them.
- Tool name
find_help- Title
- Who can help me with this? (publishes nothing, notifies no one)
- Description
Use this when the user is stuck on a question or problem and wants it answered: "who can help me with…", "does anyone know about…", "who can I ask about…", "has anyone here worked this out?", "is this already answered?". It returns posts that may already answer the question, the most trusted voices on the question's topics across the network, the question restated as a short ask, and a one-line `speakable` summary you can relay as-is instead of writing your own claims. It publishes nothing and notifies no one, so it is safe to call again as the user refines the question. Use who_should_principal_meet instead when the user wants a person to meet, not an answer to a question. Use resolve_entity then is_trusted_by_principal when they ask whether a specific source or person is reliable. Posts are read through the authenticated user's own trust graph; the people are the topic's top voices for everyone, not a reading of the user's trust, and say so in `why`. READ `strength` on every match before you present it — "strong" means a solid match from inside the user's trust network, while "weak" means a loose lexical match, or an author the user has no trust path to, and must be offered as a suggestion ("this might be related"), never as the authoritative answer. When nothing here helps, READ `nextStep`: it is present only on a fully empty result and names the reads worth trying next. This tool never publishes or submits anything.
