- What makes this an AI astrologer and not a generic chatbot?
- Every reply is grounded in a deterministic Vedic chart the engine computes first (planets, houses, dashas, transits, Ashtakoot). The LLM composes against that structured context — it never free-styles astrology. Tone, confidence, and supportive practices are returned as structured fields on every response.
- Can it answer relationship / compatibility questions?
- Yes. Pass a partner's birth details — or just describe them in plain language in your message ("my partner was born 18 May 1999 in Manali"). It resolves the birthplace offline, computes the partner chart and Ashtakoot Gun Milan, and answers as a couple read.
- Is it safe for sensitive questions?
- Medical, financial, death-prediction, self-harm, and dependency-creating prompts are intercepted before the model is invoked and answered with a calm, grounded fallback. It is informational and cultural — not medical, legal, or financial advice.
- How do I integrate it?
- One authenticated call to POST /v1/chat/respond (or /stream for token streaming). Same Bearer API key, same plan limits, and the same usage_events ledger as the rest of the AstroNode API. A free key includes 1,000 requests/month.
