When Doe gives you an answer, you shouldn't have to take it on faith. Starting today, every piece of information Doe provides can be traced back to its source with Citations.
See the Proof
Citations appear as small markers throughout Doe's responses. Clicking one shows where the information came from - whether it's a document in your connected tools, a calculation from your data, or a conclusion drawn from multiple sources.
Allowing you to quickly answer "where did this number come from?" or "how did it reach that conclusion?".
How It Works
When Doe processes your request, it now tracks the provenance of every fact and figure:
- Source Attribution - Each claim links to the original document, database record, or API response it came from. If Doe pulled a revenue figure from Salesforce, you'll see exactly which opportunity record.
- Calculation Traces - When Doe performs math - summing values, calculating percentages, comparing metrics - you can expand the citation to see the full calculation with all input values.
- Reasoning Steps - For conclusions that required judgment or synthesis, citations show the logical chain: which facts were considered, how they were weighted, and what led to the final answer.
Built for Verification
Combined with the trace panel, Doe provides you the tools to verify what's right.
Before sharing a report with stakeholders, click through the citations to confirm the data sources. Before acting on a recommendation, trace the reasoning to ensure it considered the right factors. Before trusting a number, see exactly how it was calculated.
This is especially valuable for:
- Financial analysis - Verify that metrics were pulled from the correct accounts and time periods
- Research synthesis - Confirm which sources informed key findings
- Data reconciliation - See exactly which records were matched and how discrepancies were resolved
Confidence Through Transparency
We built Citations because trust in AI shouldn't be blind. When you understand how an answer was reached, you can catch errors before they matter, explain findings to others, and build justified confidence in the results.
Citations are available now for all users. Look for the markers in Doe's responses and start exploring.
