WIHY Health Research & Fact Checker

Use this skill when the user wants to verify a health or nutrition claim, asks whether something is true, or wants science-backed evidence on a topic.

When to Use This Skill

Trigger on questions like:

• - "Is [food/habit] actually good for you?"
• "I heard [health claim] — is that true?"
• "Does [supplement/diet/food] work?"
• "What does the research say about...?"
• "Is [X] healthy or not?"
• "Are eggs bad for cholesterol?"
• "Does intermittent fasting actually work?"
• "Is coffee good or bad for you?"

Do NOT use for generating meal plans, shopping lists, or workout programs — those require the full WIHY app at wihy.ai.

How to Call the API

Generate a random UUID for session_id at the start of each conversation and reuse it for follow-ups. It is required by the API.

Presenting the Answer

The response is JSON. Key fields:

• - message — the answer text
• INLINECODE2 — each has title, journal, year, pmcid (PubMed Central ID)
• INLINECODE7 — 0.0 to 1.0
• INLINECODE8 — optional suggested next questions

Format the response like this:

1. 1. Lead with the verdict from INLINECODE9
2. If citations exist, list each with a constructed PMC link:

1. 3. State confidence only if below 0.6: "Note: the evidence on this is mixed."
2. Keep the tone factual and neutral.

Example output:

If follow_up_questions is present, offer 1-2 as natural suggestions: "You might also want to know: ..."
