Using the Research Assistant
How to get grounded, explainable answers from AsteriaStar's research assistant — comparing concepts by their real connections, tracing evidence chain by chain, and following the provenance of every fact. The assistant answers from the knowledge graph alone and never makes things up.
Related entities
- Assistant capability
Evidence Chains
Traces the chain of real relations connecting a claim to its supporting entities — for example, from Edwin Hubble through the expansion of the universe to dark energy. Every link in the chain is a genuine edge in the graph, so the reasoning can be followed and checked.
- Assistant capability
Concept Comparison
Compares two concepts by the real common ground between them — the entities they both connect to in the graph. Mars and Venus, for instance, share atmospheric escape, climate evolution, and their place in the Solar System. A comparison built from relations, not rhetoric.
- Assistant capability
The No-Hallucination Layer
The design principle beneath the assistant: it surfaces only facts already in the knowledge graph, each with its provenance and a traceable chain of relations. A future language model would phrase these grounded facts, never add to them — so an answer can always be checked against the graph.
- Assistant capability
Provenance-Aware Answers
Every grounded answer carries the provenance of the entities it draws on — the sources cited on each, and the review status of the knowledge — so the reader can weigh how far to trust it. No answer without its provenance.
