Check real, live air quality anywhere
Ask about the air somewhere and Zeplik reads the real current reading from Open-Meteo, then answers with the actual US Air Quality Index, its standard category, and the underlying pollutant levels like PM2.5, PM10, and ozone, with the place and the local time. A language model has no live air-quality data, so an index it recalls is invented. This reads the live reading and, when a place cannot be found, says so instead of manufacturing a number.
The lookup is free; you pay only the normal cost of the answer, shown before you send.
How it works
Name the place
Ask in plain language, like 'what is the air quality in Delhi right now?' or 'is the air safe to run in Los Angeles today?'. A city or place name is enough.
Zeplik reads Open-Meteo
It resolves the place and reads the live air-quality reading from Open-Meteo, not the model's memory, and treats the numbers as source data with the local observation time.
Read the live index
The answer states the US AQI with its standard category and the pollutant concentrations, so you can see not just the headline number but what is driving it.
Worked examples
Real prompts you can open in the composer with the text ready to review. Nothing sends on its own. Swap in your own details.
Prompt: What is the air quality in Delhi right now?
Zeplik reads the live Open-Meteo reading and returns the current US AQI with its category and pollutant levels, not an index the model guessed.
Open this in ZeplikPrompt: Is the air safe to go running in Los Angeles today?
It reports the real current AQI and category so you can judge, and it grounds that judgment in the actual pollutant readings rather than a vibe.
Open this in ZeplikPrompt: Show me the current AQI and PM2.5 for Beijing
It returns the headline index alongside the specific PM2.5 concentration, so you see the pollutant behind the number.
Open this in ZeplikWhat it can and cannot do
The lookup is precise about what it can verify and honest about its edges. Here is the plain posture.
Zeplik reads the live Open-Meteo reading, so the US AQI and its category are the ones observed right now.
Every reading carries PM2.5, PM10, ozone, and other pollutant concentrations, so you see what is driving the index.
Give a city or place and Zeplik resolves it, then reads the air quality for that location with its local observation time.
If the place cannot be resolved, Zeplik says so rather than inventing an index to fill the answer.
It reports the reading and its standard category, not medical guidance. For health decisions, treat it as one input and consult a professional.
This reports the current reading, not a multi-day air-quality forecast, so it answers 'now', not a firm prediction for later.
Grounded, and honest by default
- It cites the index and its time. Every answer states the US AQI and category with the place and the local observation time, so nothing is vague or approximated.
- It will not invent an index. A language model has no live air-quality data, so when a place is missing Zeplik says so rather than manufacturing a plausible AQI.
- Reading data cannot hijack the answer. The air-quality response is treated as untrusted content: Zeplik reads and reports it but never obeys instructions embedded inside it.
Frequently asked questions
- Where does the air-quality data come from?
- From Open-Meteo's air-quality API, read live and keyless. Each figure Zeplik returns, the US AQI, category, and pollutant levels, is a real current reading for the resolved place.
- Why not just ask a chatbot about the air quality?
- Because a language model has no live air-quality data, so any index it names is invented. This tool reads the real current reading for the place you ask about.
- Which index does it use?
- It reports the US EPA Air Quality Index with its standard category, from Good through Hazardous, alongside the raw pollutant concentrations so you can interpret it.
- Can it tell me tomorrow's air quality?
- It focuses on the current reading rather than a firm multi-day forecast. It answers what the air is like now, grounded in the live source, and will not overstate a prediction.
- Does an air-quality check cost credits?
- The lookup itself is free. You pay only the normal model-token cost of the answer Zeplik writes around it, shown before you send, exactly like any other message.
