AnswerGate – A pre-answer safety gate for RAG and chatbots

Summary: AnswerGate is an API that evaluates retrieved context to determine if a question can be safely answered, blocking hallucinations, partial answers, and unsafe responses before generation. It acts as a decision layer between retrieval and generation, ensuring only safe, complete, and evidence-backed answers proceed.

What it does

AnswerGate assesses whether the provided context is sufficient and safe to answer a question, allowing or blocking answer generation accordingly. It does not generate answers itself but decides if an answer should exist.

Who it's for

It is designed for developers and AI systems aiming to reduce hallucinations and unsafe outputs in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and chatbot applications.

Why it matters

It prevents AI systems from confidently providing incorrect or unsafe answers by adding a critical decision layer before answer generation.
