Will It Focus is an agent designed to answer questions about whether camera bodies, lenses, and adapters will autofocus together. It works across different mounts and adapters, providing real answers. The agent retrieves manufacturer quotes only if they are present in its dataset. Every quote it returns is verified against the Sanity record it cites.
If the quote is word-for-word from the manufacturer's document, the agent cites it. If the quote is rephrased, the agent notes the source and displays the exact sentence from the record. If no manufacturer covers the specific combination, the agent refuses to make a guess. The agent was built using Sanity Context endpoints and a dataset from six manufacturer PDFs.
The agent uses GROQ mode to serve the dataset and KP to serve a Knowledge Base built from these PDFs.
