How to check an AI answer against the recording

In Reline, a chat answer can cite the note it came from or the exact moment in the recording. Play the cited moment in place, open the cited note, then press play on any transcript line to hear what was actually said. That round trip lets you confirm a claim instead of taking the AI's word for it. Summaries work differently: they are not cited, but each one sits next to the full transcript and the kept recording, so you can check a summary point the same way.

  1. Ask a question in chat

    Open chat on a note, a folder, or your whole workspace and ask the question you want answered, for example what was agreed about pricing. Chat answers from your notes and transcripts, and it can cite the note or the exact moment an answer came from.

  2. Find the citations in the answer

    Citations appear inside the answer as small chips. A gold chip with a play mark points to a moment in a recording and shows its timestamp. A neutral chip with a link mark points to a whole note. Check the claims worth confirming first: numbers, decisions, owners, and dates.

  3. Play the cited moment

    Click a gold chip to play that clip right in the chat, without leaving the answer. Listen to confirm the speaker actually said what the answer claims, and that no qualifier was lost.

  4. Open the cited note and press play on any line

    Click a note chip to open the note. In the transcript, press play on any line to hear that second of audio, and read a few lines before and after for context. Text can be transcribed slightly off, but the audio is the ground truth.

  5. Correct the record when the audio disagrees

    If the audio doesn't match the answer, you've caught it at the source rather than after acting on it. Edit the transcript line or your notes directly so the record reflects what was actually said. Summaries are not cited, so check a summary point the same way: find it in the transcript and press play on the line.

Frequently asked

Frequently asked questions

What does a citation in a Reline chat answer point to?
Either the note the answer came from or the exact moment in its recording. A cited moment plays as a clip in place; a cited note opens the note. Reline's summaries do not carry citations: each summary sits next to the full transcript and the kept recording, with a play button on every transcript line.
Why check an AI answer against the recording?
An answer with no source gives you a conclusion with no way to check it, so you either trust it blindly or re-listen to the whole meeting. A citation lets you check only the points that matter, in seconds, which catches misattributions, dropped qualifiers, and transcription slips before you act on them.
Can I check answers in other languages?
Yes. Transcription supports 60+ languages, and citations and per-line playback work the same regardless of the spoken language. Transcription, chat, and the AI summary run in the cloud, not on-device.
