Now, for every query you make in Sidekick, you see exactly what Sidekick did to find an answer. The feature is designed to increase transparency and trust, and to improve performance. Here’s how:
Check Sidekick’s work
Use the feature to confirm if it queried the right location and used real data from the mySidewalk library. Here’s an example of how it works with a query on median rent.

You can see that it did, indeed, use the right location and it includes a link to the data source so you can not only confirm the data used, but also learn more about it.
Collaborate better
The feature can also help you fine-tune your conversation with Sidekick. By revealing the exact terms and datasets queried, you can refine your requests for more targeted outcomes.
