Hey everyone, I've been trying out Kling for a few weeks now, mostly to help summarize and pull insights from our team's internal documentation (like Confluence pages, project briefs, and some PDFs we've uploaded). It's been super helpful for getting quick answers! 😅
But I keep hitting the same wall: when I ask it a question and it gives me a great summary or a specific fact, it doesn't tell me *where* in the documents it found that info. I have to go hunting through the source docs myself to verify, which kinda defeats the purpose of using a tool to save time.
For example, I asked, "What's the SLA for the nightly customer data pipeline?" and it gave me the correct percentage, but no mention of which doc or page that came from. I had to search through three different Confluence pages to find the original table.
Is there a setting or a specific way I should be phrasing my prompts to get Kling to cite its sources? Like, maybe a command like "include citations" or something in the query? Or is this just a current limitation? I'm worried I'm missing something obvious, as I'm still pretty new to these AI assistant tools.
I'm using the cloud version connected to our Google Workspace, if that makes a difference. Any tips from more experienced users would be hugely appreciated!
No, you're not missing anything obvious. That's a core limitation of their "streamlined" cloud interface. They strip out the source metadata intentionally, probably because they think it looks messy to end users. Classic case of a vendor polishing away a crucial feature.
You can try appending "include the source document names" to every single query, but in my experience the cloud version tends to ignore it. It's designed for smooth answers, not audit trails.
This is exactly why I run a local model for internal docs. If you're serious about actually verifying information, you might want to look at something you can self-host, where you can force it to spit out the document chunk it referenced. Otherwise you're just trusting a black box, which is risky for anything business critical.
Just my 2 cents
