Citations you can trust
Every quote points to exact text, and can be checked.
AI agents sometimes quote things that aren't quite there. DocuSense is built so that every quote your agent gives you can be traced to the exact text it came from, and checked.
#What a citation looks like
Every passage your agent reads comes with a citation like this:
ds://employee-handbook@v2#§4.3:b812-951| Part | Means |
|---|---|
employee-handbook@v2 | the document and version |
§4.3 | the section |
b812-951 | the exact position of the text in that version |
Your agent is instructed to include these citations in its answers, so you can always see where a claim came from.
#Every quote is fingerprinted
When DocuSense reads a document, it stores a unique fingerprint for every passage. Before your agent uses a passage as evidence, DocuSense checks the text still matches its fingerprint.
That protects you from:
- Made-up quotes. Text that isn't in your documents can't be verified.
- Changed text. If stored text were altered, it would fail the check, and your agent is told never to cite it.
- Outdated answers. If a passage comes from an older version, your agent is told there's a newer one and checks it first.

#Ask for evidence
A few ways to get well-sourced answers:
Answer with the exact wording and a citation for every claim.
Is this quote really in the handbook: "employees may carry over 10 days"?
Give me the evidence for that answer, within 1,000 tokens.
For the last one, DocuSense packs the strongest verified passages into the budget you give, adds the latest wording if a passage is outdated, and includes any conflicting statements from other documents.
