How to Check AI Sources
Last updated June 2026
A citation is only useful if it exists and says what the AI claims. Here's how to check AI sources properly.
The core verification process
1) Isolate the specific claims — the numbers, names, dates, and sources. 2) Compare the answer across multiple AI systems and look for consensus. 3) Open and read any cited sources to confirm they support the claim. 4) For high-stakes topics, confirm with an authoritative source or a qualified professional.
ChatVerify automates the comparison and source-gathering so you can focus on the decision.

Checking a citation in three steps
1) Open the link — if it doesn't load or doesn't exist, discard the claim. 2) Read the relevant part — confirm the source actually supports the specific claim, not just the topic. 3) Judge the source — prefer primary and authoritative domains over blogs and forums.
