Everything you need to understand how Delveira works and get a session running. Deeper guides and a full API catalog are on the way.
Overview
Delveira is a realtime research and presentation assistant. It listens, structures claims, gathers evidence with provenance, and publishes cards to an audience view.
Getting started
What happens when your invite arrives: creating your first session, seeding documents, and opening the control room.
Guides
Practical guides: seed documents and hybrid search, reading stance labels, running a live session, and OBS setup.
API reference
A versioned, customer-facing API catalog with authentication and rate limits is on the roadmap.
Overview
Presenters create a session, optionally upload seed documents, enable transcription, and work from a control room while a separate presentation route updates in realtime. Research runs against seeded content and the public web; specialized providers cover archives and scholarly material when enabled.
Getting started
- Join the waitlist and we'll send an invite as seats open.
- Sign in and create your first session—give it a name and you're ready to go.
- Optionally upload seed documents, then start listening. Claims appear as you speak, each researched automatically.
- Open the presentation route on a second display or as an OBS Browser Source, then publish cards as you go.
Guides
Practical notes for getting the most out of a session, drawn from how presenters actually use the control room.
Seed documents and hybrid search
Upload Markdown, text, or PDF material before a session—transcripts, briefing packets, prior reports, whatever you'd normally have open in another tab. Delveira indexes it for hybrid search, combining full-text matching with vector retrieval so a claim can surface a relevant passage even when the wording doesn't match exactly.
- Seed documents are checked first, before the public web—so proprietary or specialized material you provide gets priority over generic search results.
- Shorter, well-scoped documents retrieve more precisely than one enormous combined file. If you have a 200-page report and a one-page fact sheet, both help, but the fact sheet often resolves faster for direct claims.
- You can keep adding seed documents mid-session; newly uploaded material is available to research immediately, so there's no need to prepare everything before you go live.
Reading stance labels correctly
Every piece of evidence Delveira retrieves is classified by stance relative to the claim it was researched for: supporting, qualifying, challenging, or absent. Treat these as four genuinely distinct outcomes, not a simple true/false pair.
- Supporting means a source corroborates the claim as stated. Qualifying means a source adds nuance or a condition that narrows the claim without contradicting it outright—often the most useful label to look at before you speak.
- Challenging means a source conflicts with the claim; it doesn't necessarily mean the claim is false, only that credible material disagrees and you should account for that on screen.
- Absent ("no evidence found") means the research turned up nothing either way. It is not a verdict of falsehood—read it as "unverified," not "wrong," and phrase what you say accordingly.
Running a live session end-to-end
A session is the unit of work in Delveira: one continuous discussion, from opening remarks to the final published card. Understanding the lifecycle helps you use the control room without hesitating mid-conversation.
- Start transcription explicitly before you begin speaking—partial text appears within moments for your own awareness, while finalized segments (the durable, punctuation-complete version) are what actually get analyzed into claims.
- Claims are revisioned, not fixed: if you restate or correct something a minute later, Delveira tracks that as a revision of the same claim rather than a brand-new, disconnected one—so your presentation stays coherent even when the conversation loops back.
- Nothing reaches your audience until you publish it. Review, revise, or discard a claim's card freely in the control room; only a deliberate publish action sends it to the presentation view.
Presentation view and OBS setup
The presentation route is a separate, clean, audience-facing view designed to be added to a broadcast layout, distinct from the control room where you do the actual work.
- Add the presentation route as an OBS Browser Source, sized like any other overlay. It updates in real time as you publish cards—no manual refresh or screen-share required.
- Keep your control room off-stream. Research, discarded claims, and in-progress revisions never appear in the presentation view; only what you explicitly publish does.
- If you're running a second display instead of OBS, the same presentation route works as a plain browser tab—there's no special broadcast-only mode to configure.
Working with archives and academic sources
Beyond seeded documents and the public web, Delveira can route research to specialized providers: declassified government archives, scholarly indexes, library catalogs, and primary historical texts.
- Archive and academic routing activates automatically when a claim's subject matter warrants it—you don't need to manually pick a provider per claim.
- These sources carry the same provenance metadata as any other evidence: publisher or issuing body, retrieval time, and content type, so a declassified cable or a peer-reviewed paper is just as inspectable as a web result.
- Specialized providers can be enabled or disabled per environment; the product remains fully useful for general research even without them turned on.
API
A customer-facing API catalog with authentication, rate limits, and versioned endpoints is on the roadmap—so you can pull sessions, claims, and evidence into your own tools.
