What you will learn
Recognize a convincing answer that still needs checking.
The idea
A polished answer is not proof. AI can invent details, miss context, or sound certain about something it cannot verify. Asking it to check its own answer may help you notice issues, but it is not independent verification. For prices, dates, policies and factual claims, compare the draft with the approved source. Leave unknowns visible rather than inviting the tool to fill them in.
A workplace example
THE SITUATION
Draft a quote. We have not agreed the delivery date yet.
A USEFUL APPROACH
Delivery date: to be confirmed after review.
WHAT TO CHECK
Compare every price and promise with the source. Remove any invented deadline or guarantee.
Try it
Find three statements in a sample AI answer that you would verify elsewhere before using it.
Use fictional details. Keep your notes with you; this preview does not collect them.
Remember this
Confidence in the wording is not confidence in the facts.
