VERA

Overview

Answers you can check.

• It shows its working.

  Each reply carries a trace of what VERA searched, read, computed and checked, step by step, with the evidence for each.

• It computes, it does not guess.

  Numbers about your data come from every row, and every figure in a reply is checked against what was computed before you see it.

• It remembers by project.

  A project's files, sources and memory stay together in its dossier, and never leak into another.

Five workspaces

One assistant, five ways to work.

• Chat

  Questions, reasoning and the literature, by voice or text. Equations whose symbols you can open, graphs you can move.

• Code

  Projects planned and built a module at a time, reviewed for bugs on request, and exported whole.

• Dataset

  CSV and Excel profiled row by row. Charts and statistics drawn from the real values, each run recorded so it can be reproduced.

• Document

  PDFs and Word files read page by page. Answers cite the page, and search marks every match.

• Teach Me

  Lessons paced to the learner, with quizzes, interactive graphs and a report card at the end.

How it is built

Built to be checked.

Dossiers

Each project is a dossier, with sub-dossiers for chapters or experiments. Memory, files and sources stay inside the dossier they belong to, and can be exported with a checksum for every file.

Citations

References are checked against doi.org, CrossRef, DataCite and OpenAlex for existence and retraction. One that cannot be found is removed and said to be removed.

Provenance

Every chart records the dataset version and a hash of the rows it was drawn from, so a result can be re-run later and compared with the original.
