Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I ask my AI questions about my documents?

Your AI uses semantic search to scan your indexed files and find the exact passages needed to answer your question. It then generates a response that includes citations so you can verify the source. You'll get specific answers instead of guesses.

Where your data goes

What you get from your queries

The AI processes your questions through your document index to produce these results.

SEARCH

Semantic answers

The AI finds meaning rather than just matching keywords. You get answers based on the actual context of your documents.

VERIFY

Direct citations

Every answer includes a reference to the specific document used. You can click through to see the original text.

DETAIL

Document context

If you need more than a snippet, the AI can pull deeper details from a specific file to expand its response.

HUMAN

Manual review

You decide if the AI's interpretation is correct. The AI provides the data, but you handle the final judgment.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask a question.

The AI follows a specific path to turn a question into a cited answer.

  1. Find relevant context

    The AI scans your indexed documents to find the most relevant sections related to your query.

    perform_rag_query

  2. Extract specific data

    Once the relevant files are identified, the AI pulls the necessary details to build a complete answer.

    get_document_details

  3. Generate cited response

    The agent combines the retrieved information into a clear answer and attaches the source locations.

    perform_rag_query

  4. Verify source accuracy

    You check the provided citations against the original document to ensure the AI didn't miss anything.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI edit my original documents?

    No. The AI only reads your documents to find answers. It cannot change, delete, or overwrite your files.

  • 02

    Does the AI search all my files or just specific ones?

    It searches through everything you have indexed in Verba. If a file isn't indexed, the AI won't see it.

  • 03

    How do I know if the AI is making things up?

    The AI provides citations for its answers. If you can't find a citation that supports the claim, don't trust the answer.

  • 04

    Can the AI delete my documents if I ask it to?

    No. This MCP only has tools to read and query data. It has no capability to delete or modify your files.

  • 05

    What happens if my question is too vague?

    The AI will try to find the closest match in your documents, but you'll get better results if you use specific names or terms found in your files.
