1. Open Foundry

Head to chat.ironlabs.ai and sign in.
Foundry chat home, signed in.

​
2. Type a question

Anything — “explain merge sort to a 12-year-old”, “summarize the latest Anthropic research”, “write a launch email”. Hit Enter.

​
3. Watch the routing

Look at the footer of the reply. You’ll see something like: 
Routed via Anthropic / Claude 3.5 Sonnet
That’s Foundry telling you which model it picked for this turn. Different prompt → different model. You didn’t have to choose.

​
4. Add a source

Type @ to open the Sources menu. Pick Web, Deep Research, Reddit, or X. Your next question gets grounded in live results — with citations under the reply.
