AI Response Citation Checker
A response may contain citation markers without giving readers a usable source—or make specific factual claims with no marker at all. This checker compares numbered citations with a Sources section and flags claim-like sentences that may need support. It is designed for editorial review, not for deciding whether a source is true or authoritative.

What this tool does
Review an AI response for citation markers, unresolved references, unsupported-looking factual sentences, and source-list mismatches.
The checker extracts numbered markers and source definitions, then uses conservative cues—dates, percentages, quantities, and attribution phrases—to identify sentences that look factual but lack a nearby citation.
Citation presence is not evidence quality. Open every important source and confirm that it directly supports the claim.
Example
Load the sample, run the tool, and compare the report with the visible markers or values in the input. The output is deterministic for the selected options, so the same text produces the same report.
Use cases
- Review a prompt before it enters a shared prompt library.
- Check generated content before another program consumes it.
- Create a lightweight audit record without uploading private text.
Tips for better output
- Keep separators and labels on their own lines.
- Use the narrowest option that matches your actual format.
- Test one valid and one deliberately invalid example.
- Review every warning in the surrounding context.
- Save the original text alongside important reports.

Frequently asked questions
Does AI Response Citation Checker send my text to a server?
No. The processing in this page runs in your browser. Uploaded files are read locally by the page.
Can I use the result in a production prompt workflow?
Yes, but review the result first and test it with the exact model, template engine, or schema used by your application.
What happens when the input is empty or malformed?
The tool shows an input error instead of producing a misleading report. Tool-specific parsing errors include a short correction hint.
Can this tool guarantee that an AI response is safe or correct?
No. It checks the visible text using the stated rules. Model behavior, source quality, and application security still require separate review.
Is Unicode text supported?
Yes. The page accepts Unicode text, although pattern matching and token estimates may vary for scripts and formats outside the examples described.
