Demo: Chain-of-Verification (CoVe) Agent - Reduces Hallucinations & Improves Reliability.

This system:
1. GENERATES: Creates an initial response to the query
2. PLANS: Identifies key claims that need verification
3. VERIFIES: Systematically checks each claim's validity
4. REVISES: Updates the answer based on verification results
5. RETURNS: Final verified, fact-checked response

Why It Matters:
- LLMs confidently make false statements (hallucinate)
- CoVe detects and corrects these hallucinations
- Simple but powerful: 5-15% accuracy improvement
- Used by: OpenAI, Google, industry leaders

Usage:
- pip install requests
- Set OLLAMA_HOST, OLLAMA_MODEL (or OPENAI_API_KEY)
- python chain_of_verification_agent_demo.py
