Does this tool automatically add citations for me?

No, this tool highlights the claims that *need* citations. You still need to research and provide the primary source to ensure accuracy.

What kind of content works best?

The tool works best on informational, academic, or journalistic content where facts, dates, and statistics are frequently used. Fiction or purely opinion-based writing may not yield useful results.

Why is AI content prone to needing citations?
