Every Claim
Source Verification
The VCM.fyi AI Analyst is the most capable AI assistant purpose-built for carbon markets. Think ChatGPT on steroids, but specifically trained for voluntary carbon market research. It understands what you're looking at on the platform, searches the web in real-time with verifiable sources, generates charts and data analysis on the fly, and can analyze any document you upload. Click on any forensic signal, any country policy finding, any proponent risk flag — and the AI Analyst instantly gives you deeper context, verified sources, and actionable intelligence.
The Problem
Carbon market research is time-consuming. Answering a question like "What is the Article 6 status of this project's host country and how does it affect credit eligibility?" requires searching government databases, reading UNFCCC submissions, cross-referencing registry records, and synthesizing multiple sources. Even experienced analysts spend 30-60 minutes on questions like this. VCM.fyi compresses this to seconds — click any intelligence signal we surface, and the AI Analyst instantly pulls additional context from across the web, with real sources you can verify.
How It Works
Click Any Signal for Instant Deep-Dive
Every forensic finding, every country policy update, every proponent risk flag on VCM.fyi is interactive. Click on any signal and the AI Analyst instantly launches a deep-dive — searching the web in real-time for additional context, related developments, and source verification. You get a comprehensive briefing with cited sources in seconds, not hours.
Context Awareness
The AI Analyst knows what you're looking at. If you're viewing a specific project, it automatically includes the project name, registry, country, proponent, and methodology as context. If you're on a country policy page, it includes the country and its known policy stance. This means you can ask "What are the risks?" without specifying which project — the AI already knows.
Real-Time Web Search with Verifiable Sources
Every response is grounded in live Google Search results. The AI searches the web during response generation, finding current news, regulatory updates, and market data. All sources are cited with numbered references that you can click and verify directly. No hallucinations — every claim has a receipt.
Charts, Data Analysis & Code Execution
Ask the AI to analyze data and it will. It executes code in real-time with access to scientific computing libraries — generating charts, running statistical analysis, building models, and crunching numbers on the fly. Ask "Show me the retirement trend for this project" and get an interactive chart in seconds.
Document Analysis
Upload PDFs, images, and documents directly to the AI. It can analyze project design documents, validation reports, financial statements, and regulatory filings — extracting specific information and answering questions about the content. We are actively testing giving the AI direct access to the Project Design Documents (PDDs) of every project in our database, so you can ask questions about any project's PDD without needing to find or upload it yourself.
Data Sources
- Real-time Google Search (live web search grounding with source citations)
- URL content analysis (the AI can read and analyze any public web page)
- User-uploaded documents (PDFs, images)
- Platform context (project, buyer, or country data from the page you're viewing)
- Project Design Documents (coming soon — direct PDD access for every project)
Technical Details
AI Engine
Purpose-built AI with advanced reasoning capabilities. The model uses extended chain-of-thought reasoning before responding, producing more thorough and accurate analysis than general-purpose AI assistants.
Tool Suite
Multiple tools available to the AI: Real-Time Web Search (live Google Search with citation generation), Code Execution (sandboxed Python with scientific computing libraries for charts and analysis), and URL Context (ability to read and analyze any public web page). The AI decides which tools to use based on the question.
Response Quality
Responses include verifiable citations (numbered references to web sources you can click to verify), generated charts and visualizations (from code execution), and reasoning transparency (expandable thinking sections showing the AI's analytical process).
Quality & Accuracy
- Every factual claim is grounded in web search results with verifiable source links you can click
- Code execution outputs (charts, calculations) are reproducible — the code is shown alongside results
- Thinking/reasoning process is visible, allowing users to evaluate the AI's analytical approach
- Context awareness reduces hallucination risk — the AI knows the specific project, buyer, or country being discussed
- Sources are real, clickable URLs — not generated references. Every citation can be verified independently
Update Frequency
Always available. Web search results are real-time. The AI engine is continuously updated with the latest model improvements.
