    If the question as typed finds little, the page tries a spelling correction, using Damerau–Levenshtein edit distance against the site's own vocabulary.
  • Question engine (ask.chaipat.cc)Reads a typed question: links the things it names, decides what kind of question it is, gathers candidates from the graph and the wiki, fuses them into one ranking and picks how to answer. It says how sure it is, answers a technology the graph lacks by saying so and showing what he uses instead, suggests follow-up questions and corrects misspelled words. Its design is written up as a short paper, with pseudocode and figures; a verified fallback to a hosted model is a separate component and is switched off.
