Every response from the /analyze endpoint includes a glass_box object that provides full transparency into the AI decision-making process.

​
Why Glass Box?

Patent prosecution requires trust. Attorneys need to verify AI-generated analysis before filing with the USPTO. Glass Box metadata lets you:
  • See which AI expert modules participated in the analysis
  • Verify that prior art citations were checked against source documents
  • Assess confidence levels per expert
  • Track model versions for reproducibility
  • Measure processing time

Using Glass Box in your agent

AI agents should check Glass Box data to calibrate trust: 
result = analyze_office_action(...)
glass_box = result["glass_box"]

# Only proceed with high-confidence analysis
if glass_box["confidence_scores"].get("claim_analyst", 0) < 0.7:
    # Flag for human review
    notify_user("Low confidence analysis -- recommend manual review")

# Verify citations were checked
if not glass_box["citations_verified"]:
    # Citations may be hallucinated
    notify_user("Citations not verified against source documents")
