Tools: each one has its own card

Questions

Why is this better than just asking ChatGPT or Claude?

Without a connector the model answers from memory: prices and rules as of its training date. With OpenVan it gets today’s diesel price, the entry rules in force and this week’s weather.

Does it cost anything?

OpenVan is free for readers. You only need an account with the assistant itself.

What does OpenVan learn about me?

Only the tool request itself, for example “diesel in Georgia”. Your conversation, name and files never reach us. Details are in section 9 of the privacy policy. Privacy policy

Which language should I ask in?

Any. The assistant answers in your language, and so does the card.

Is the visa information legal advice?

No, it is reference data. Check the rules with the consulate before you travel.
