RAG that refuses to hallucinate

Most RAG demos have the same bug: retrieval brings back something vaguely related, and the model answers confidently anyway. Fluent, cited-looking, wrong.

The caption

Most RAG demos have the same bug: retrieval brings back something vaguely related, and the model answers confidently anyway. Fluent, cited-looking, wrong. Here's the fix I shipped in a production RAG platform — a confidence gate that makes the system say 'I don't have that' instead of guessing — and the five checks inside it. Built this into RAG.NextUpgrad; write-up and demo on my portfolio. I also build tools.scult.in — 15 free tools, 1,200+ prompts and a 50,000-skill library, free for anyone, no signup.
