Gemini: ask questions of a document with evidence
Use a short document you may share and record its title and version. Choose a question whose answer is known so you can test retrieval first.
Environment and inputs: Gemini user guide · Feature and source access depend on the active account, app and organization settings. Optional file or app steps have a text-excerpt fallback. No fixed model version, price or usage quota is assumed.
What you will make
A practical Gemini guide to ask questions of a document with evidence. Use the sample input and prompt, then check the result. Use a fictional office operations task as the practice setting. State the source revision and review date alongside the requested output.
Prepare the source and scope
Use a short document you may share and record its title and version. Choose a question whose answer is known so you can test retrieval first. Open Gemini Apps and use the account and source options permitted for this assignment.
Try this prompt
In Gemini, provide the prepared input, then send the following request. For real work, replace fictional details with approved facts.
Using only this document, answer who approves equipment purchases. Give the section and a short supporting excerpt. If the document does not say, answer Not specified.Review the result
Locate the excerpt in the actual source and distinguish the approver from the person submitting a request. Record each correction and its supporting source.
If the answer is wrong or incomplete
A document title alone does not grant access to its contents. Provide the text if the source cannot be read. Name the exact source being used. If a connected or uploaded file is unavailable, paste a permitted excerpt and continue with that limited evidence.
Practice and completion check
Repeat with one incomplete input. Check the answer against the review criteria, remove unsupported claims and save the prompt with its source version. This workflow has not been verified in a customer deployment.
