What is an AI Decision Guide Generator?

An AI decision guide generator structures a complex choice so readers can reach their own defensible conclusion. It defines criteria, compares options, exposes trade-offs, tests scenarios, and explains how different priorities change the recommendation.

What to provide: Provide the decision, stakeholders, available options, criteria and weights, evidence sources, constraints, scenarios, risks, and conditions that should trigger a different choice.

Inspect captured sources beside the working draft

Current Gixo Quill editor with the Sources tab open, three captured web sources, retrieval dates, citation labels, and the provenance boundary
Current Quill Sources panel. Sources captured with the generation request remain attached as provenance, with source type and retrieval date. Quill grounds from that material; it does not re-verify the sources after the artifact is written.
