We’ve now answered over 1,800 questions, and every week we’re learning more about how to make AskTrip stronger, faster, and more useful.
Here’s a look at what’s in the works and what’s coming next.
Currently in Development (Expected August–September)
| Improvement | Problem | Solution | Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Limited answers – better options | When little evidence exists, answers can be incomplete. | Offer two alternative approaches when evidence is scarce. | More useful responses even with limited research. |
| Smarter related questions | “Related questions” aren’t always relevant. | Upgrade embedding models for better matches. | Find answers faster, with less searching. |
| Monthly Q&A highlights email | New/popular Q&As can be missed. | Monthly email tailored to interests. | Stay up to date automatically. |
| Save your Q&As | Useful Q&As can be hard to find again. | Bookmark questions for quick access. | Instantly revisit important answers. |
| Prompt upgrade for better recall | Some relevant documents aren’t retrieved. | Implement upgraded prompt for higher recall. | More complete, evidence-rich answers. |
Next on the List (Planned for late September)
| Improvement | Problem | Solution | Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated drug information | Drug answers can lack specialist detail. | Add targeted medicines content. | More precise and clinically useful drug info. |
| Consistent Answers | Similar questions give inconsistent answers. | Reuse past high-quality answers. | Greater accuracy and consistency. |
| Export answers | No easy way to share/store Q&As. | Download as PDFs and other formats. | Easy sharing, offline access, and record-keeping. |
| Citation suggestions | Users lack ready citation formats. | Auto-generate “How to cite this” statements. | Saves time and ensures accurate referencing. |
| Transparency mode | The answer process isn’t visible. | Show key steps in generating answers. | Builds trust through openness. |
Why we’re excited:
The prompt upgrade, dedicated medicines content, and answer consistency will have the biggest impact on quality – especially the new prompt, which is already showing excellent results in testing. Once these updates are live, AskTrip will be more accurate, robust, and user-friendly, paving the way for bigger ideas like educational modules, deeper topic reviews, and even the occasional quiz 🙂
