Reading time: 3 minutes

Tips and techniques for getting the most accurate, verified responses from GlyphChat.

Ask Clear, Specific Questions

Less Effective

"Tell me about science"

More Effective

"What is the process of photosynthesis in plants?"

Why? Specific questions get specific, verifiable answers.

Check the Verification Badge First

Before trusting any response:

1. Look at the verification badge
2. Green = verified, proceed with confidence
3. Yellow/Red = review individual claims
4. Click the badge for details

Use Verification Details

When you click the badge, you’ll see:

• Which specific claims were verified
• Confidence scores for each
• The concepts used for verification

Ask Follow-Up Questions

If something wasn’t verified, ask for clarification:

Original response:

"The company was founded in 2015" - 30% confidence

Follow up:

"Can you provide a source for when the company was founded?"

The AI may provide additional context that can be verified.

Choose the Right Model

Different models have different strengths:

Understand Verification Limits

Verification works best for:

• ✓ Factual statements
• ✓ Scientific concepts
• ✓ Historical facts
• ✓ Geographic information

Verification is limited for:

• ✗ Future predictions
• ✗ Personal opinions
• ✗ Very recent events
• ✗ Highly specific local information

When to Verify Independently

Even with high confidence scores, independently verify:

• Medical or health information
• Legal advice
• Financial decisions
• Safety-critical information

Summary: Best Practices

1. Be specific in your questions
2. Check the badge before trusting responses
3. Review details for important information
4. Ask follow-ups when confidence is low
5. Choose the right model for your question type
6. Verify independently for critical decisions
