We’re excited to share an important update to AskTrip – not quite a version 2, but definitely a strong v1.5. This upgrade builds on what’s working well, while tackling some of the challenges we’ve seen since launch. The result: better answers, more trustworthy evidence, and less noise.

What’s New?

1. More Evidence, More Coverage

AskTrip now considers a wider pool of articles when building answers. This means you’ll benefit from a broader sweep of relevant studies, ensuring that useful evidence doesn’t get missed.

2. Smarter Evidence Extraction

We’ve upgraded both the prompts and the large language model behind AskTrip. These improvements sharpen how the system extracts evidence from research, cutting through complexity to surface the insights that matter.

The payoff? More accurate answers and fewer hallucinations.

3. Improved Quality Scoring

Our enhanced quality score system better balances study design, recency, and relevance. That means you’ll see more reliable evidence, ranked in a way that helps you judge its strength quickly and confidently.

4. Beyond Trip: Smarter Sourcing

Sometimes the evidence available in Trip isn’t enough. With this update, AskTrip automatically extends the search to Google Scholar and OpenAlex when needed – giving you access to a wider world of research without leaving the platform.

Why This Matters

Every improvement we make to AskTrip is guided by one principle: helping health professionals make faster, better-informed decisions. With v1.5, you’ll get answers that are broader in scope, more accurate, and underpinned by higher-quality evidence.

We’ll continue refining AskTrip in response to your feedback, so please keep letting us know what works and where we can improve.
