Document Answer Agent
Answers that cite and quote your documents
Every claim in an answer cites a section and quotes it verbatim. Before the answer is shown, a verifier checks each citation and quote, with no model call. Below are three examples on 5 Canadian federal Acts.
These are captured local runs on 26 Oct 2026. The claim sentences were written by us and checked by the verifier; they were not generated by the research agent, which needs a paid model key and did not run for this page. There is no live or hosted demo yet.

Before an answer is shown, the verifier checks that:
- every cited id exists;
- every quote is verbatim text of that section (after whitespace normalisation);
- every claim has at least one citation;
- nothing cited is repealed.
The same verifier on three bad claims: a paraphrase passed off as a quote, an invented section id, and a claim with no citation. All three are flagged:
{"ok": false, "claims": ["unverified", "unverified", "unverified"], "findings": [
{"claim": 0, "citation": 0, "rule": "quote-mismatch", "detail": "the quote is not verbatim text of L-2/s.169"},
{"claim": 1, "citation": 0, "rule": "unknown-section", "detail": "no section has id 'L-2/s.9999'"},
{"claim": 2, "citation": null, "rule": "no-citation", "detail": "the claim has no citation"}]}Want this on your documents?
