How Can Jarvis Cite Document Sources?

Jarvis (getjarvis.eu), a screen-aware desktop AI assistant, can cite the document or page behind an answer. Open a file or connect Google Drive, Google Docs, or Notion, then ask your question and request a citation. Jarvis can identify the supporting passage and name the file and page for verification. Ask Jarvis to cite its sources and it will point you to the exact document, page, or section it used. Jarvis is a screen-aware desktop AI assistant for macOS 12+, Windows 10+, and Linux. This keeps answers verifiable instead of confabulated, which matters for research, legal, and compliance work. Reasoning runs on frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. Tokens are AES-256-GCM encrypted, hosting is EU-based, and your documents are never used for training. Free to start, then $16/month.

The reason Jarvis can cite is that it answers from your real material. When you open a report or connect a Drive folder, the model reasons over that content, so a claim it makes traces back to a specific paragraph rather than to half-remembered training data. Ask it to show the quote it relied on and it returns the sentence verbatim alongside the file name. For multi-document questions it tells you which of three PDFs supplied each fact, so you can audit the answer instead of trusting it blindly, which is the core of trustworthy document Q&A.

Jarvis cites across its connectors, not just open windows. If the answer came from a Notion page, it names the page and can deep-link you back to it; if it came from a Google Doc, it points to the heading. With Google Drive connected it can search a folder, find the relevant file, and tell you which document and roughly where in it the support lives. This is useful when you ask a broad question like "what did we promise the client about uptime" and the answer is buried in one of many contracts.
