Context judgment for AI agents and RAG

7 followers

FreshContext is context judgment infrastructure for AI agents, RAG systems, and retrieval workflows. Instead of only retrieving more sources, it evaluates caller-provided candidate context for freshness, provenance, confidence, utility, and source profile, then returns decision-ready output: cite, verify, refresh, background, watch, or exclude. The current front door is evaluate_context, with demos, trust gates, and reference adapters included.

Hi Product Hunt — I’m Immanuel, solo builder of FreshContext. FreshContext started from a problem I kept seeing in AI systems: retrieval often brings back context, but the model still needs to know whether that context should actually be trusted, cited, refreshed, verified, backgrounded, watched, or excluded. FreshContext is built as a context judgment layer between retrieval and reasoning. The simple version: candidate context in decision-ready context out The current public release includes: - evaluate_context as the generic front door - Source Profiles - freshness, provenance, confidence, and utility evaluation - decision-ready outputs - BYOC demos - arXiv signal-to-decision proof - trust/release gates - reference adapters as proof surfaces Important boundary: FreshContext does not claim that freshness equals truth. It also does not fetch, crawl, browse, scrape, or read folders through evaluate_context. The caller brings candidate context; FreshContext judges what should happen to it before it reaches the model. I’d really value feedback on the category framing: does “context judgment layer” make sense for the gap between retrieval and reasoning?

FreshContext update: five cases that separate relevance from handoff safety

FreshContext's current home is https://freshcontext.dev/ . This is a progress update to the existing product, not a new launch.

A fixed-time local check of Core 0.5.2 evaluated five synthetic inputs: a recent dated record, a historical record, an undated record, a failed retrieval, and a recent-looking record with an unknown source.

What FreshContext is really testing: context judgment before reasoning

FreshContext is built around one question:

What should happen to retrieved context before it reaches the model?

Most RAG and agent systems focus on retrieving more relevant material. That matters, but relevance alone does not tell an AI system whether a source should be trusted, cited, refreshed, verified, used as background, watched, or excluded.

That is the layer FreshContext is testing.
