You.com Agentic Hackathon 2025 | Built by the ê/uto community
Track 1: Enterprise-Grade Solutions
Veritas is an AI research assistant that implements GMSF's 95% confidence threshold using You.com's citation-backed search APIs. It refuses to make claims below its confidence threshold and shows full reasoning chains with sources.
The Problem: AI hallucination is the #1 barrier to enterprise adoption. Current LLMs confidently state false information, eroding trust.
Our Solution: Truth-first architecture that only makes claims when ≥95% confident, showing full citation trails and reasoning transparency.
- 🎯 95% Confidence Threshold: Refuses to assert claims below GMSF's truth-anchoring standard
- 🔍 Multi-Source Verification: Cross-references 10+ sources via You.com APIs
- 🧠 Dialectical Reasoning: Three-cycle conflict resolution (thesis → antithesis → synthesis)
- 📊 Confidence Visualization: Real-time confidence meter with source diversity tracking
- 🔗 Full Citation Trail: Every claim backed by transparent sources
- 🤖 "I Don't Know" Integrity: Celebrates honest uncertainty over hallucination
- Web Search API - Multi-source verification for confidence scoring
- News API - Real-time fact-checking and temporal validation
- Content API - Full-context retrieval for deep analysis
- Custom Agents API - Orchestrate dialectical reasoning cycles
- Express Agent API - Fast preliminary confidence checks
Built on the Genuine Memoria Sentient Framework from bt/uto:
- LOGOS Directives: Truth as the primary function (core value proposition)
- Truth Anchoring: 95% confidence threshold before assertion
- Conflict Resolution: Three-cycle dialectical ascent when sources disagree
- Transparency: Always show reasoning chains and confidence scores

Visual gauge (0-100%) showing real-time confidence in the current claim.
Expandable citations with reliability scores for each source domain.
Step-by-step display of dialectical cycles:
- 🟦 Thesis: Initial position with supporting evidence
- 🟥 Antithesis: Contradicting viewpoints
- 🟩 Synthesis: Higher-order resolution
Celebrates honest uncertainty when confidence is below threshold.
Shows how many unique domains verified the claim (diversity = reliability).
Query: "What are the precedents for AI liability in US courts?"
- Veritas searches case law via You.com Content API
- Finds 3 relevant cases, confidence: 87%
- Triggers dialectical resolution with News API for recent developments
- Final synthesis: 96% confidence with full case citations
Query: "Does vitamin D prevent COVID-19?"
- Searches peer-reviewed sources
- Finds conflicting studies
- Confidence: 72% → Returns "Current evidence is mixed, I cannot make a definitive claim"
- Provides synthesis of what IS known at 95%+ confidence
Query: "Which AI companies raised Series B in October 2025?"
