Class Genie's sources in Sakai



About

Genie builds answers using your organization’s verified videos and documents. Sources are included in text and flashcard responses, and in Agentic Avatar responses after a conversation ends.

Where to find sources

Under each answer, Genie displays a Sources section. This applies to:

  • Flashcard responses
  • Text responses
  • Agentic Avatar responses (after the conversation ends)

The Sources section includes:

  • Thumbnails for each video or document used
  • The entry title, and if available, additional info (like season/episode or document type)
  • A plus (+) icon if more sources were used than fit in the visible list

Sources are shown per response. In threaded conversations, each response includes its own Sources section.

Sources may not appear for every response, depending on the content and configuration.

Supported source types

Genie supports the following source types:

  • Video entries - Used with spoken dialogue or OCR (on-screen text)
  • Document entries - Including PDFs, PowerPoint files (PPTX), and Word documents (DOCX)

Open a source

  • OCR images shown in flashcards represent captured on-screen text
  • Genie follows your organization's permissions, and users only see and can access content they’re allowed to view.
