How Telha works

Concepts

A handful of ideas explain almost everything Telha does. You don't need them to ask a question and get an answer, but they are what make Telha's answers trustworthy, and knowing them helps you get more out of it.

  • What Telha remembers

    Telha keeps facts, not a pile of documents to search. It answers from what is true across your systems.

  • The three clocks

    Every fact knows when it was true, when Telha learned it, and the date its source puts on it. That is what lets you ask about any point in time.

  • Evidence and receipts

    Every fact links back to the exact place it came from, so every answer can show its sources and you can open the original.

  • How Telha checks itself

    Before Telha gives you an answer, it checks each statement against the sources and shows you the result.
