How to verify AI-Generated insights using citations

We at Robin AI encourage legal professionals to always incorporate a "human in the loop" workflow when working with legal AIs. Broadly speaking, our legal research team has evaluated Robin's work product to be roughly on par with that of a junior lawyer for many legal workflows. Just as a senior lawyer would review a junior's work, legal professionals should maintain the same oversight with AI.

Robin's performance improves over time, but we recognize its limitations. That's why "human in the loop" is core to everything we build. We encourage you to take the same approach for your work products.

Human-AI collaboration in action

At Robin, we believe AI should enhance, not replace, legal expertise. We build tools that speed up and improve existing workflows rather than replace lawyers.

You’ll see tools and cues built into our platform designed to encourage human-assistant collaboration. Citations for Reports are a prime example. Citations allow legal professionals to see exactly where in a contract Robin retrieved its answer. Lawyers can quickly check and verify Robin's work by being taken directly to the relevant clauses. These citations don’t merely point at a clause in isolation. Robin doesn't just identify isolated clauses—it looks up definitions and views contracts holistically. You can see what Robin considers relevant for each answer.

How to use citations

When you run a report, for each generated answer, you’ll see a list of clauses Robin found relevant to the answer. These could be clauses directly related to your question, clauses that contain a relevant definition, or other clauses that could potentially be relevant.

Each citation is clickable, taking you directly to the cited clause in the contract. Sometimes Robin provides multiple citations, while other times there may be none—typically when the information isn't in the contract.

At Robin AI, we believe that transparency isn’t optional—it’s essential. And with our clickable citations, we make it easy to trust every insight.
