CoVet shows you exactly where any AI-generated content came from.

When you generate a summary or record, a source banner may appear at the top of the record page.

It’s a quick way to confirm that a generated statement maps back to something that was actually said or provided.

How To View a Source

Citations help you trace generated content back to the original source material.

To view a source:

  1. Open the generated document in your Case Content feed.

  2. Look for the inline citation links within the text. Citation links appear when the record cites PDF sources; records generated without PDF inputs won't have inline citations

  3. Click a citation to jump to the source reference it was drawn from, such as the highlighted passage on the cited page of a PDF you added to the case.

You can also view sources by clicking the banner, which opens a sources panel (on the right side of your desktop or as a bottom sheet on mobile). This panel lists all inputs used.

For PDF inputs, you can expand rows to see 'Relevant citations' including the citation number, page, and quote, each of which is tappable to open the PDF at that specific location.

This lets you verify a generated statement without reading the full transcript from start to finish. It can be especially useful when you want to double-check a specific finding before exporting a record.
