Verified intelligence
Clear, cited intelligence for teams that cannot afford to guess.

The problem
Assistants mix correct and wrong facts in the same fluent paragraph.
Professionals re-check every answer by hand, which wipes out the time AI saved.
So AI stays a drafting tool and never reaches the decisions that matter.
The solution
01
Olo drafts an answer, streamed like any assistant.
02
Zeus breaks it into individual claims and checks each against retrieved sources.
03
Each claim is marked supported or flagged, with its source one tap away.
What the user sees
The tower was completed in 1889 for the Exposition Universelle in Paris.
SUPPORTED · 2 sources
Gustave Eiffel designed the tower himself.
FLAGGED · partly wrong
Zeus: the original design came from Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier, engineers at Eiffel's company. Eiffel's firm built it and he championed it.

The moat
Every checked claim joins a verification graph. Olo stops re-checking what it already knows, gets faster and cheaper, and builds a record no general assistant keeps.
Next: graphs shared across a team, so one person's verified research is everyone's.
