How Reggie.Bot Works

Help

What is Reggie.Bot?

Reggie.Bot is an AI search engine for US Army Regulations, currently running OpenAI's GPT-5.6. Reggie has access to every publicly available regulation from the Army Publishing Directorate and can search all of them in seconds to find the information you need. Answers cite the governing regulation with paragraph and page references, and link to the publication so you can read it in full.

Browsing publications

Every publication has its own page listing its date, proponent, status and

download links, along with the associated forms and directives it references.

Where the publication's text is available, the page also carries a short

summary and a handful of questions answered with the publication's own

wording, quoted, with the paragraph the quote came from.

Installing Reggie.Bot

Reggie.Bot can be installed as an app from your browser - "Add to Home Screen"

on a phone, or the install icon in the address bar on a desktop. Installing it

caches the app so it starts instantly on later visits.

Tips for Better Answers

  • If you know what regulations cover your question, mention them.
  • Use multiple queries, one to find the regulations that answer your question and the next to get the actual answer.
  • Ask for chapter/page numbers in your question to research further.
  • Use regulation lingo and terminology. Regulations are written with precise verbiage; use common regulation words/phrases for a better result.

Disclaimer

  • Reggie.Bot is not responsible for any actions taken based on the information it provides. Users should verify the accuracy and appropriateness of the information before use.
  • Reggie.Bot does not guarantee the accuracy of any response whether a direct quotation from a regulation or otherwise. Artificial Intelligence often hallucinates and/or provides inaccurate information.
  • Reggie.Bot does not always have the most up-to-date information and does not include MILPER messages or other CAC-restricted documents.
  • Reggie.Bot does not store queries, but they are subject to OpenAI's Terms of Service.
  • Users should not include sensitive or confidential details in queries. Sanitize queries to avoid specifics like names, times, or locations.

Privacy Policy

This privacy policy applies to the Reggie.Bot app and website (hereby referred to as "Application") that was created by Kyle Eichlin and Wesley Eichlin (hereby referred to as "Service Provider") as a Free service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".

Information Collection and Use

The Application collects information when you download and use it. This information may include information such as

  • Your device's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address)
  • The pages of the Application that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages
  • The time spent on the Application
  • The operating system you use on your mobile device

The Application does not gather precise information about the location of your mobile device.

The Application collects your device's location, which helps the Service Provider determine your approximate geographical location and make use of in below ways:

  • Geolocation Services: The Service Provider utilizes location data to provide features such as personalized content, relevant recommendations, and location-based services.
  • Analytics and Improvements: Aggregated and anonymized location data helps the Service Provider to analyze user behavior, identify trends, and improve the overall performance and functionality of the Application.
  • Third-Party Services: Periodically, the Service Provider may transmit anonymized location data to external services. These services assist them in enhancing the Application and optimizing their offerings.

Third Party Access

Only aggregated, anonymized data is periodically transmitted to external services to aid the Service Provider in improving the Application and their service. The Service Provider may share your information with third parties in the ways that are described in this privacy statement.

The Service Provider may disclose User Provided and Automatically Collected Information:

  • as required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process;
  • when they believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect their rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request;
  • with their trusted services providers who work on their behalf, do not have an independent use of the information we disclose to them, and have agreed to adhere to the rules set forth in this privacy statement.

Opt-Out Rights

You can stop all collection of information by the Application easily by uninstalling it. You may use the standard uninstall processes as may be available as part of your mobile device or via the mobile application marketplace or network.

Data Retention Policy

The Service Provider will retain User Provided data for as long as you use the Application and for a reasonable time thereafter. If you'd like them to delete User Provided Data that you have provided via the Application, please contact them at kyle@ark.place and they will respond in a reasonable time.

Children

The Service Provider does not use the Application to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13.

The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. The Service Provider encourages all children to never submit any personally identifiable information through the Application and/or Services. The Service Provider encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by instructing their children never to provide personally identifiable information through the Application and/or Services without their permission. If you have reason to believe that a child has provided personally identifiable information to the Service Provider through the Application and/or Services, please contact the Service Provider (kyle@ark.place) so that they will be able to take the necessary actions. You must also be at least 16 years of age to consent to the processing of your personally identifiable information in your country (in some countries we may allow your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf).

Security

The Service Provider is concerned about safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. The Service Provider provides physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect information the Service Provider processes and maintains.

Changes

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes to the Privacy Policy by updating this page with the new Privacy Policy.
