## 4. Chat with citations [#4-chat-with-citations]

A [conversation](/docs/guides/concepts/conversations) is a chat grounded in your
documents, where every answer is cited. Conversations belong to a signed-in
person, so they run in the Nordvec app and through its session-authenticated
endpoints, not with an API key.
