References
Every answer in Praktik contains links to specific sources — paragraphs, court decisions, your documents. They are not invented. They are precise citations from official data.
Why references are critical
Section titled “Why references are critical”Our approach is to give the AI system access to as much official data as possible so it can make the most accurate assessment. But because it’s AI, you must be able to verify the result.
The easier verification is, the more likely it will actually happen. If verification is lengthy, most users will skip it. That’s why references are directly in the text — you hover, click, and see the source. No searching, no switching between applications.
Result:
- Information is more reliable — you know where it comes from and can verify it immediately
- You save time — you don’t have to do manual research to verify what Praktik found
- You identify errors faster — if a reference doesn’t correspond to the claim, you see it immediately
How to work with references
Section titled “How to work with references”References are marked with numbers in square brackets directly in the answer text — for example
1. References sidebar
Section titled “1. References sidebar”On the right side of the answer, you see a panel with all references used in the response. Each reference has a number that corresponds to the number in the text.
The content you see depends on the type of source:
- Legislative paragraph — you see the law number, paragraph, and its text
- Court decision — you see the case number, date, and relevant excerpt from the reasoning
- Your document — you see the document name and the section that was cited
If the reference content is longer, you can expand it by clicking the arrow. This way you can view the entire cited excerpt without leaving Praktik.
2. Hover over reference in text
Section titled “2. Hover over reference in text”When you hover over a reference number in the text, a tooltip appears with the same content as in the sidebar. You see the source name and cited text.
This is useful if you’re reading an answer and want to quickly verify a specific reference without scrolling to the sidebar.
3. Clicking on reference — direct navigation to source
Section titled “3. Clicking on reference — direct navigation to source”When you click on a reference number, Praktik opens the original source in a new tab. It’s not just opening a document — you go directly to the specific section that was cited:
- Legislative paragraph — Slov-Lex opens directly to the specific paragraph
- Court decision — the decision opens directly to the cited location
- Your document — the document opens to the cited section
You don’t have to search, scroll, or manually look up. Praktik redirects you exactly to where the information is located.
Incorrect or missing references
Section titled “Incorrect or missing references”Sometimes it can happen that Praktik generates a reference that doesn’t actually exist, is corrupted, or has been removed from the database. In such cases, we will alert you.
Instead of a reference number, you see a warning icon or visual indicator that something is wrong with the reference. This way you can identify it immediately.
What it means:
An incorrect reference does not automatically mean that the answer is wrong. It means you should be more cautious and verify the information in another way.
What to do:
- Ask a follow-up question — ask Praktik about the specific source or request clarifying references
- Start a new chat — sometimes it helps to rephrase the question and get an answer with working references
- Verify the information manually — if you need the answer immediately, look up the source directly in Slov-Lex or another database
