CallReader

CallReader is an agent that reads open calls (contests, grants, hackathons) and only tells you what it can quote. I have read hundreds of open calls to decide which were worth a week of work. The expensive mistakes were never about prize size: an AI ban that lived only inside the attached PDF, a summary that kept the verdict ("AI allowed") and dropped the clause that governed it, "I couldn't read it" silently becoming "there is no rule", and a download that "worked" but saved an error page as rules.pdf. Give CallReader a URL, a PDF/HWPX/HWP file, or just a photo of a poster. It fetches the page and every attachment, follows QR codes on posters, and reports seven axes (eligibility, entry fee, cash prize, on-site duty, AI use, authorship, deadline) as PASS / FAIL / UNREAD. Every PASS or FAIL carries a verbatim quote, its source, and any condition clause ("unless / only if"). Plain code then checks that the quote exists character-for-character in a source it actually fetched; if not, the verdict is demoted. A second model pass audits whether the quote really establishes the verdict, and it can only demote, never promote. UNREAD is never folded into PASS, and an unopened attachment blocks PASS on eligibility, fee and AI use. The HTML report draws a box around each quote on the poster or PDF page, and keeps the box only if the cropped region reads back as the quote. The model proposes; the code decides.
