How askan.ai works
When you ask a question, the answer doesn’t just get published. It passes through a safety pipeline and an independent editorial review that decides whether it is good enough to become a permanent page. Most answers don’t make the cut — and that’s the point.
1 · Safety checks before generation
Your question is first screened for abuse and spam, then checked against both rule-based filters and an AI moderation model. Questions that seek illegal, harmful or abusive content are refused outright.
2 · The answer is generated — and checked again
A hardened AI model writes the answer under strict instructions to be accurate, cite uncertainty honestly, and never invent facts. The generated answer is then moderated a second time before anyone sees it.
3 · The editorial quality gate
This is what sets askan.ai apart. An independent “editor” model scores the answer on five dimensions — is there real search demand, is it genuinely useful, is it original rather than boilerplate, is it clearly written, and is it legally safe? Based on that score the answer is either:
- Published — good enough to become a permanent, indexable page;
- Unlisted — viewable via its link but kept out of search engines;
- Not stored at all — shown to you once, then gone.
4 · What you can rely on
Every published answer carries a visible “quality-checked” mark and an AI-generated disclaimer. Answers are still AI output and can contain mistakes, so always verify anything important — but you’re starting from an answer that already had to earn its place.
What happens to your question?
Asking is free and needs no account. Depending on the editorial score, your answer is either published (a permanent public page with its own link), unlisted (reachable via its link, kept out of search engines) or not stored at all. We never publish personal data — inputs containing e-mail addresses or phone numbers are rejected automatically. If a page based on your question should be removed, a short note via the contact details in the imprint is enough; removal requests are honoured any time.
Fair-use limits
To keep the service free, there are limits: a small number of questions per person in a short window, and an overall daily capacity. If you hit a limit you’ll see a message with the exact waiting time — nothing is broken, just come back a little later.
