How to use Adaure AI
A short guide to asking questions, checking the answers, and getting the most from Adaure.
What Adaure AI is
Adaure AI answers questions about Imo State using a library of official records — the Nigerian constitution, state laws, the state budget, development plans and ministry websites — and cites the document and page behind every claim. If the records don't contain an answer, it says so instead of guessing.
See the full list of what it searches on the About page.
Quick start
- Open the chat or type in the box on the homepage and press Ask.
- Write your question the way you'd ask a person. No legal jargon needed.
- Read the answer, then open a citation to check it against the original passage.
No account is needed to ask questions.
Asking good questions
- Be specific. “What is the sanitation plan in the Imo State Development Plan?” works better than “tell me about sanitation”.
- Name the document, year or sector when you know it — “the 2025 budget”, “the education sector”.
- One topic at a time. Ask a follow-up for the next point rather than packing several questions into one.
- Rephrase if you get nothing. A question about the same thing in different words can surface a different passage.
Questions that work well today:
- What is Imo State's sanitation development plan?
- How is the state budget allocated across sectors?
- What are Imo State's industrial policy priorities?
- What is the 3R agenda?
You can also browse ready-made answers to common questions.
Reading an answer and its sources
Under each answer is a row of citation chips, one per source page. Click a chip to open it and read the exact passage Adaure used. Click again to close it.
- Documents show the title and page, e.g. “Imo State Development Plan 2023–2033, p. 27”.
- Web sources have an Open source link to the original page.
- News reports show the date they were published. Check it — news changes, and an older report may be out of date.
- Wikipedia is background reference, not an official record, and is named as such in the answer.
If a claim matters to you, open its citation. That check is the whole point of Adaure.
Follow-ups and conversations
Adaure remembers the recent turns of your conversation, so you can ask short follow-ups like “What about education?” without repeating yourself.
Often an answer ends with a highlighted suggested follow-up. Click it to ask it. When Adaure can't answer your question, the suggestion points to the closest thing it can answer.
For a completely different subject, start a New chat so earlier questions don't colour the answer.
Copy and regenerate
- Copy (the two-squares icon) copies the answer text.
- Regenerate (the circular arrow, on the latest answer only) asks the same question again for a fresh answer — useful if the first was unclear.
Your chats
Your conversations are listed in the sidebar (open it with the menu button on a phone). Click one to reopen it, or use the bin icon that appears on hover to delete it.
Chats are saved in your browser only. They stay on the device and browser you used, and are lost if you clear your browser data. They do not appear on another phone or computer.
Accounts
Creating an account is optional. Today an account lets you sign in and out, but it does not yet store or sync your chats — those stay in your browser either way. Syncing across devices isn't available yet.
When Adaure says it doesn't know
This means the records Adaure searches don't contain the answer — it is working as designed, not failing. It would rather tell you than make something up.
- Try the question in different words, or name the document or sector.
- Click the suggested follow-up for a related question Adaure can answer.
- Check the list of sources — the topic may not be covered yet. Circulars, memos and election results aren't indexed at the moment.
Limits and responsible use
- It isn't legal advice. It reports what published records say; it doesn't apply them to your situation.
- It can be wrong. Verify anything important against the cited source before relying on it.
- Office-holders and figures change. Check the date and source, especially for anything time-sensitive.
- It points you to the record. Adaure AI is an Imo State Government-approved initiative, but its answers are generated by AI from the sources on the About page — rely on the cited source for anything official.
