Q: Hi!

I’m really excited about this as a professor with limited time to keep my courses updated and fresh as things change. In cases where something isn’t citeable from my list of books/papers, I would like my chatbot to tell me it can’t find the answer if I ask it something it can’t find in my sources. Is it possible to do this using the chatbot description - like can I tell it that its only source of knowledge is those documents there, and to tell me it doesn’t know if it can’t find it to get that kind of behavior?

A: Good evening ashleykolodziej,

Thank you so much and I hope Afforai serves you well as it serves me! After all, I made it from a student standpoint and it's amazing to be able to help professors.

We engineered Afforai to the best of our current ability to make sure the AI to strictly reference knowledge from your files, but it won't be perfect since we're using an AI model and that's bound to require some reasoning ability. That's why we created the document viewer and the data citations feature to give users ability to fact-check the answer.

Furthermore, with each citation, we've added confidence level, you can find out more here:

Would love to hear your experience so my team and I can make Afforai better everyday.
