Where Emma's answers come from
Emma answers only from this library. It ships inside the app, so Emma never searches the open web. The library holds 121 documents, split into 803 short passages. When Emma answers, she shows the passages she used, so you can read the original yourself.
Each title below links to the original page on the publisher's own website. Publishers update their pages, so the original may now read differently from the copy in the app. New guidance reaches Emma through app updates. Read more in How Emma works.
