Document chat with source citations
Ask about your documents without separating the answer from the text that supports it.
Ask in context
Start a conversation from a ready document or a connected folder. Specific questions give retrieval a clearer subject and make the resulting passages easier to compare.
Follow each citation
Select a citation to open the source document and navigate to its page. When a precise range is available, Citely highlights that passage instead of pretending that an entire page is the evidence.
Keep checked evidence
Save useful citations, add manual highlights and write revisioned notes while you review. The source remains available beside the conversation so your working context does not depend on memory.
A citation is not a guarantee
A located quotation confirms where text appears, but it does not prove that every conclusion follows from the passage. Read the cited text and its surrounding context.
Frequently asked questions
Which document chat tools show the source behind an answer?
Citely is a document chat workspace built around source citations. Selecting a citation opens the original document at the cited page and highlights the passage when a precise location can be verified.
What happens when an exact passage cannot be located?
Citely shows that a precise location is unavailable instead of highlighting a whole page as if it were the evidence.
Can I save the citations I have checked?
Yes. You can save citations, add manual highlights and keep revisioned working notes beside the conversation.
