Answers with sources
When Vesika AI answers a question, it shows the decisions, statutory articles and documents it relied on as numbered sources. Click a source and its text opens in the side panel, so you can read what the answer rests on at the source. What the legal database covers: Coverage and sources.
AI answers and drafts can be wrong or incomplete. Before you use an answer, read the cited decisions and articles at their source; review every draft yourself.
Accounts
You cannot sign up for Vesika yourself. Accounts are created by your firm's or organisation's administrator, who also sets your plan and limits. If you have no account or have forgotten your password, contact your administrator. Details: Signing in, Plans and limits.
Web and iPhone
You use Vesika in a browser at vesika.ai/app; on a narrow screen (a phone's browser, for example) the interface switches to a single column. There is also an iPhone app with Vesika AI, İçtihat Arama, the document reader and your favorites; you sign in with the same account. Details: iPhone app.
The interface language
Vesika's interface is in Turkish only. This guide writes every button and menu label in bold exactly as the app shows it, followed by its English meaning in parentheses the first time it appears on a page, e.g. Yeni sohbet (New chat), so you can match what you read to what you see.
