How it works
A general chatbot is no lawyer: it sounds sure of itself, yet sometimes invents an article number. Quonai first looks up the real provisions and has the language model answer from them. You get those provisions with the answer.
Step by step
You see every call back in the request log on developers.quonai.com.
We take laws and regulations from the official source, such as wetten.overheid.nl and EUR-Lex, and record every provision on its own: a code, a title and the text, per article and paragraph. Standards we record per control.
What you get
A provision you can cite, such as NIS2.ChIV.23.4 or WetOB1968.art.9.lid.1.
For each application you choose which laws and standards count. Quonai searches only those, and every source in the answer comes from them.
What you get
Your own selection of laws and standards for each application.
Quonai searches on words and on meaning at the same time, and lets a language model put the best provisions on top.
What you get
The provisions themselves, with a relevance score, through POST /v1/search.
The language model writes the answer from the provisions it was given, and the answer names them: code, title and the start of their text. Every source is a provision that really exists, never an invented article.
What you get
An answer with its provisions, as a stream, in one response or by polling.
Quonai does not tell you that you are compliant. It shows what the rules ask and where they say it. The judgement stays with you.
What you get
The provision beside the answer, so a person can check it.
Commitments
An answer names the provisions it rests on, so a person can check it.
By default the models run on our own hardware in the Netherlands. If a client is set to a hosted model from Anthropic, OpenAI or Google, the question goes there.
The engine and its database run in a data centre in Europe. You keep the conversation: the engine stores no chat history. We log questions for quality and troubleshooting.
The engine's behaviour has a version, now 2026.09. Pinned per client or request, a new version only applies once you switch.
