CiteSleuth

CiteSleuth is a web app (with optional mobile companion) for historical researchers who constantly lose track of what a claim is based on. It ingests PDFs, photos of archival documents, and web pages, then lets you create “evidence cards” tied to exact page/line regions with permanent citations. An AI assistant helps extract dates, names, places, and quotes, but every extraction is linked back to the original snippet so you can verify it. You can build timelines and relationship maps that are always source-backed, export citations to Zotero/CSL, and generate an audit trail for articles, theses, or exhibits. This is not a magic ‘write my history’ tool; it’s a workflow tool that reduces the real pain: messy provenance, weak citation discipline, and time wasted re-finding evidence. The product lives or dies on trust, traceability, and fast capture from archives.
