Cited answer

A cited answer is an AI response that links each claim back to the exact source page it came from, so you can verify it.

A general chatbot gives you a confident paragraph with no way to check it. A cited answer, sometimes called a grounded answer, attaches the source behind every statement, so you can open the page and confirm it in one tap.

For studying this matters. You are never unknowingly learning from an invented fact, and the citation doubles as a pointer back to the part of your notes you should review.

How StudyPDF does this

Every answer Bo gives cites the page from your own uploaded material. When something is not in your course, Bo says so instead of inventing it.
