How Tasset citations work
AI promises citations and delivers links. A link to a whole site, or to a page somewhere near the claim, leaves the reader to go hunting. Most won't.
On the agentic web, a published document is an agentic file. Every line and table cell has its own address, set by ADAP, the Agentic Data Address Protocol. When an AI answers from that document, it can cite the address.
Each citation is a link to one line. Open it and the publisher's own page shows that line, highlighted. Try one on our thesis.
Check every citation
Citation verification checks each cited line against the document's own text. The line matches or it doesn't, with no AI judgment in the middle. In an agentic file, every check goes in the file's Verification Log, so the history stays with the document.
It works today. See the first test and the proof on our Research page.
Traffic that reads the original work
AI reads what you publish and answers for you, and the reader never has to show up. Credit disappears, and so does the visit.
A line-level citation changes the deal:
- A reason to click. The reader can see which sentence the answer rests on, and go read it.
- The right place to land. They arrive at the line, in its full context, not at a home page.
- Your page, your name. The work is read where you published it, under your name.
- More of your work read. Someone who lands on the exact line is already reading it. The rest of your page is right there.
Attribution stops being a footnote and starts being the way readers reach the original work.
What's next
This address is where readers will open and check every citation in an AI answer. That part opens with the launch of the agentic web. Until then, see /agenticweb for how publishing works, or how to use Tasset to see the Verification Log in your own files.
