Retrieve
Break the document into useful passages, then find the few that best match the question.

Give the model only the strongest passages and require evidence beside every claim.

Verify
Check citation IDs in code and refuse the answer when the source does not support it.

“Are exchanges free?”
What should a trustworthy RAG system do?
Built for trust, not theater
Simple on the surface. Careful underneath.
Finds the right passages
Hybrid retrieval combines keyword precision with semantic similarity, then keeps the strongest, most distinct evidence.
Answers only from evidence
The model receives a small set of untrusted source passages and must cite every answer. Unsupported answers are rejected.
Knows when to stop
Weak retrieval triggers a safe no-answer path instead of a confident guess. Your rating closes the evaluation loop.
Good questions deserve clear answers
Before you paste a document.
What is retrieval-augmented generation?
Retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, finds relevant passages in a source before creating an answer. Groundquote keeps those passages visible so you can check the result yourself.
Does Groundquote save my document?
Groundquote does not persist document text or questions in its database. In generated mode, the question and retrieved passages are sent to the configured model provider for that request.
What if the document does not contain the answer?
Groundquote safely says it does not have enough information. That abstention is intentional—it is better than turning a weak match into a confident guess.
Which files can I use?
Paste text directly or upload Text, Markdown, CSV, or JSON files containing up to 60,000 characters. PDF parsing stays out of scope so the product remains small and transparent.
