Questions

Does AI Source & Citation Checker open or verify URLs?

No. It parses pasted text locally and creates a source hygiene checklist for manual review.

Can it extract citation signals?

Yes. It extracts URLs, DOI values, arXiv IDs, citation-like lines, duplicate domains, and malformed source references.

Can it find claims without nearby sources?

It flags high-risk claim patterns when no source list is provided, but human verification is still required.

Does Utilumo upload my input?

No. Utilumo has no backend that could receive your input. Where a tool makes a request as part of its function, it goes directly from your browser to the destination you choose, never through Utilumo.

Do I need an account?

No. Utilumo tools are built to work without accounts or sign-in.
