Document-Grounded Responses

When you ask Victoria a question, she:
  1. Searches LexVault for relevant documents
  2. Reads the document content
  3. Provides answers with specific citations
Example:
You: "What is the husband's monthly income?"

Victoria searches LexVault → Finds "Pay Stub - John Smith - Oct 2024"
Victoria reads: Monthly gross income $12,500

Victoria: "According to the October 2024 pay stub,
John Smith's monthly gross income is $12,500."
Victoria’s responses include clickable links to source documents:
  • Click to open the exact document

  • Verifies information independently
