Check whether what you've written is supported by your sources

Paste a sentence or paragraph from your own draft and Anara searches your library for the specific passages that back each claim. It returns the cited text alongside what you wrote and tells you directly when nothing supports a claim. For when you need to ground your writing before it leaves your hands.

1. Describe the task

You wrote a sentence. You believe a paper in your library says that. But you read the paper three months ago, and the memory you have of the argument might be a paraphrase, a simplification, or something you projected from another source.

Anara can check this for you. Paste the claim and ask whether it is supported by your library. Anara searches for passages that confirm, complicate, or contradict what you wrote, returns the specific text with clickable citations, and tells you directly if nothing in your library backs it up.

Here a PhD student in political philosophy is writing a dissertation chapter on mandatory vaccination policy, has a library of 140 papers, and has just written a paragraph she wants to defend.

Here is a paragraph I wrote for my dissertation chapter. Check it against my library and tell me which claims are supported by which papers, and whether anything is unsupported. Show me the exact passages that back each claim, and mark anything you can't confirm as "not found."

"Public health authorities have increasingly framed mandatory vaccination as a matter of procedural legitimacy rather than individual liberty. The shift began around 2015 and has accelerated since 2021, with scholars arguing that democratic accountability, not personal choice, is the more defensible standard for policy evaluation."

2. Give Anara context

Required context

• The library or folder that contains the papers you want to check against.

Optional context

• Notes or highlights you’ve made on the papers you cite most. Anara weights those passages more heavily.
• The chapter or section the paragraph belongs to. Helps Anara understand which arguments in the paper are load-bearing for your context.

3. What Anara creates

A claim-by-claim verification list. Each claim gets a verdict (supported, partially supported, or not found) and the exact passage from your library that grounds it, with a clickable citation badge to the source PDF. The output is the audit you run before you submit. Where Anara finds no support, that’s a signal to cite differently or revise the claim.

4. Follow-up prompts

Drill into the matched passage

When a claim is confirmed, check the surrounding context before you cite it.

Show me the full passage from that paper with the two paragraphs before and after, so I can see how the author actually frames the argument.

Rewrite to match the evidence

When a claim is only partially supported, adjust the wording to stay inside what the sources actually say.

Rewrite my second sentence to stay within what the three matched papers actually claim. Don't add anything that isn't supported.

Flag what’s missing

When you want a working list of what you still need to find or cite.

List every claim in this paragraph that needs an additional citation I don't have yet. Suggest which databases to search for each gap.

5. Tricks, tips, and troubleshooting

How you word your prompt shapes what you get

Paste your text verbatim. Paraphrasing changes the match. Anara searches your library using the exact wording, and a rephrased version of your claim returns different passages. Ask for “supported, partially supported, or not found” explicitly. Without that instruction Anara returns a narrative summary, which is less useful than a per-claim verdict when you’re auditing a paragraph.

Check the output against your own understanding

Anara matches on semantic similarity. A passage can support the claim exactly, or it can be adjacent without actually backing it. Read the matched passage yourself before you cite. Partial matches aren’t failures. They’re signals to sharpen the wording. When in doubt, ask Anara to explain why the match qualifies, and it will walk you through the argument the paper makes.

What to do with the output next

Treat the verification list as a citation audit. For every “not found” claim, either revise the sentence or go find the paper. For every “partially supported” claim, adjust the wording to match the evidence. Once the audit is clean, move to the citation workflow to generate formatted references for every cited passage.
