What happens when I use a research button?
A public card can pass its research details into a prompt. The table shows what each button produces and what still needs checking before research is complete. None of these actions submits an entry.
| Action | Observed or documented output | What it does not establish |
|---|---|---|
| Open a public card’s Build AI Research Prompt link | A builder form prefilled with player, stat, line and snapshot context | A verified current platform line or submitted entry |
| Choose Generate research prompt | Research text appears on the page; Copy becomes available | Completed source research or an answer from another AI assistant |
| Use the Source or platform field | A label included in the research question | A linked platform account or entry confirmation |
The card handoff and generated output were observed in an AI-operated September 10, 2026 walkthrough. An October 8, 2026 check of the public builder and its source code confirmed the documented controls. These checks did not test platform-account connections or signed-in features.
What did an actual public walkthrough produce?
The September 10 walkthrough followed a Ben Rice public research card into the builder. It retained MLB, Stolen Bases, line 0.5 and the source label Propeller public analyzer snapshot. The research goal was Evaluate both sides, even though the card displayed Under.
Generate produced research text and enabled Copy. The prompt required current source verification and allowed taking no action. The walkthrough stopped there: it did not use an external AI assistant, verify a later live line or submit an entry. This historical 0.5 line is not a current recommendation.
Does a platform name connect an account?
In the inspected public builder, Source or platform is a text field for naming the research source. Entering a platform name does not show that an account is connected, that Propeller is affiliated with it, or that an entry was submitted.
Propeller’s product facts say it is independent and does not submit entries or accept or place wagers. This describes its documented role; it is not a legal classification or a check of every account feature.
What should I do next?
1. Inspect the research context. Check the player, stat, line and source carried into the form. Keep any snapshot warning attached to those details.
2. Verify the exact current line and relevant source facts. A generated prompt asks for that work; it does not prove the work has happened.
3. Decide whether to continue researching or take no action. Copying the prompt into another tool is a separate step, and an answer still needs checking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I place an entry in Propeller?
No. Propeller provides research and does not submit entries. Opening a card or generating a prompt does not place an entry.
Does Generate research prompt send my question to an AI assistant?
The inspected public builder generates text on the page. Using that text in another assistant is a separate action; generating it does not produce a researched answer.
Does a platform name mean my account is connected?
No. In the inspected public builder, that field labels the research source. A name in it is not proof of connection or submission.
