How Ragegono works

A research assistant that answers nutrition and health questions from peer-reviewed, open-access studies — and shows its work every time.

Open access only

The corpus is built from open-access research that anyone can read in full — no paywalls between you and the source.

Peer-reviewed first

Default answers draw on peer-reviewed clinical-nutrition sources. Preprints and weaker evidence are flagged, never hidden.

How an answer is built

  1. Step 1

    Retrieve

    Your question searches full-text passages across the corpus — hybrid semantic + keyword when the vector index is ready, strict keyword otherwise.

  2. Step 2

    Rank

    Candidate passages are reranked for relevance so the answer is built from the closest, strongest evidence — not the first thing that matched.

  3. Step 3

    Ground

    The answer is written only from retrieved passages. If the corpus can't support a claim, Ragegono says so instead of guessing.

  4. Step 4

    Cite

    Every answer carries its sources — the exact studies, sections, and quotes — so you can check the primary research yourself.

Answer modes

Every mode stays grounded in citations — they differ in how far they'll commit beyond the strongest evidence.

ConservativeOnly what the strongest evidence directly supports.
Research assistantBalanced synthesis with the caveats laid out.
DecisiveA clear bottom line, still grounded in citations.

Evidence grades

Each source is tagged by study type so you can weigh it. Strongest at the top.

Not medical advice

Ragegono summarizes research to help you understand the evidence. It isn't a diagnosis or a treatment plan — talk to a qualified clinician about decisions for your own health.
