Analyze & understand

Adding sources (primary source search)

Have laws, court rulings, and official authority sources looked up specifically for a highlighted section.

Updated 4 October 2026

The standard analysis works without a live web search. The chat can now additionally – free of charge, as part of an ongoing conversation – look up current legal sources if an answer would clearly benefit from them; it never searches for the name of a specific person or company without asking explicitly beforehand. This function here is something different: If you would like to substantiate a specific statement in an analysis, you can have sources added specifically for it.

How to proceed

Highlight a section in an analysis or answer (at least a few characters).
Select "Add sources".
A targeted search for primary sources (laws, court rulings, authorities) for exactly this section will start.

What you receive

A research result with sources for your highlighted statement – without recalculating the analysis. This creates more certainty, but does not replace your own verification against the primary source.

Difference to the web search in the chat

The free web search in the chat searches for your current question while you are writing. "Add sources", on the other hand, searches specifically for an already existing, highlighted section – for example, in a finished analysis you are currently viewing. Both only state what they have actually found; neither searches for the name of a specific person or company unless you explicitly want them to.

Costs

The source search is optional and subject to a fee; the price is displayed before you start (Credits: The credit system). A repeated search for the same text within 24 hours may come from the cache – in that case, without additional credits.

Limitations

Even substantiated answers do not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of all citations. Please verify important references yourself (How reliable is the AI?).
