Introduction
Sana AI leverages various sources to provide accurate and relevant information. This article will address common questions about how sources are used in Sana AI, including where to find them, how document versions are handled, the specifics of source linking, and how to manage source inclusion through prompting.
Where to find referenced sources
Sana AI does not train any underlying LLM on your data, instead it leverages your available information to provide an answer. When answering a query, Sana AI includes references to the sources from which the information was derived. These sources can be found directly in the response, typically as inline citations. For example, a reference might look like this:
This citation style ensures transparency and allows users to trace back the information to its original context. Additionally, the sources will be available in the form of a list at the beginning of the answer, and references to the sources will be indicated by numbers in grey circles after the part of the text that is referenced from the sources.
Commonly asked questions
If We Have Multiple Versions of a Document, Which One Will It Pick?
Sana AI is designed to select the most recent version of a document when multiple versions are available. This ensures that the information provided is up-to-date. However, if a specific version is required, users can specify this in their prompt to guide the AI towards the desired document version.
When can we get the source to link inside a document, at a specific page or section, and when do we only get a URL to the whole document? Does my prompting affect this?
The granularity of the source link provided by Sana AI can vary based on the context and the specificity of the prompt:
Specific page or section: If the prompt is detailed and asks for information from a particular section or page of a document, Sana AI can provide a link directly to that section (deep-linking). For example, asking "What does the executive summary of the 2024 financial report say?" can yield a link to that specific part of the document. However, it is important to note that not all browsers support the feature of navigating directly to a specific part of the document. In such cases, the document may open to the first page, and the user will need to manually search for the relevant information throughout the document.
Whole document URL: For more general queries, or when the information spans multiple sections, Sana AI might provide a URL to the entire document. This is common when the prompt does not specify a particular section or when the relevant information is distributed throughout the document.
Note: Deep-linking is currently supported for PDF-files
Prompting plays a crucial role in determining the specificity of the source link. Clear and detailed prompts are more likely to result in precise links to specific sections or pages.
Conclusion
