Verified Answers

A cited answer from a local LLM, or an honest abstention

Type a question and GNO answers from your own documents, with citations that resolve to the source paragraph. Turn on verification and it does something most RAG systems will not: it compiles one closed Context Capsule, classifies every substantive claim as supported, contradicted, insufficient, or uncertain, and withholds the draft unless support reaches 100%. A refusal that names the failing claim beats a confident paragraph you have to fact-check by hand.

Use cases
Private local RAG over notes, docs, and code
Work where a wrong answer costs more than a slow one
Remote-GPU setups that still keep the corpus local
Teams needing grounded answers rather than generic chat completions

What it gives you

  • Answers come from your documents, not the open web
  • Citations link to the exact source paragraph
  • Verification binds each claim to an evidence ID, line range, and content hash
  • Supported, contradicted, insufficient, and uncertain verdicts stay explicit
  • Below full substantive-claim support, the draft is withheld and the gap is named
  • Verifier unavailability and capability degradation are reported, never silently downgraded
  • Across 22 paired fixture tasks, verification lost no answer accuracy and produced strictly fewer unsupported claims
  • Built-in local models need no cloud API or API key
  • Optional HTTP inference offloads specific model roles while the corpus stays local
  • Per-collection model overrides for prose versus code
