Answers Hub

A merchant-approved answers directory served through the gateway: labelled facts and comparison tables drafted from your own catalog and the real searches agents sent you, published only after you approve each entry.

How it works

  • <strong>Mine</strong>, questions are proposed from your own pages (fetched as the gateway markdown you already serve) and the real zero-result searches agents sent your store: demand with receipts, never guesses.
  • <strong>Draft</strong>, answers are composed offline from your own content only. A validator rejects any draft containing a number that does not appear verbatim in its cited source excerpt.
  • <strong>Approve</strong>, drafts land in Console → Answers Hub with their sources shown. Nothing publishes without your approval, ever.
  • <strong>Serve</strong>, approved entries become ordinary gateway documents at <code>/answers/&lt;slug&gt;</code> plus a collection index and FAQ structured data. No LLM runs at request time.

Where answers serve from

Managed Shopify stores serve approved answers automatically, approval publishes straight into the hosted gateway, live at your storefront URLs within seconds. Self-hosted sites pull the approved set once at build time with the export API below and wire it as ordinary document sources.

WordPress sites import instead of fetching: the plugin never pulls answers from us, so you download the export below and paste it into Settings → Rebilder answers (plugin 0.2.0+). It then serves <code>/answers</code> locally, markdown for agents, an HTML page for people, FAQ structured data for both, and each entry stops serving when its freshness window lapses until you re-import.

The export API

Authenticate with the site API key from Console → Settings. Approved entries only, drafts never leave the review queue.

Fetch your approved answers
curl https://api.rebilder.com/v1/answers \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $REBILDER_API_KEY"

The response carries the raw entries and ready-to-wire gateway shapes: a collection for /answers and one document per entry (with provenance), so a build step can drop them straight into your gateway config:

Response shape
{
  "domain": "shop.example.com",
  "contentSha256": "…",
  "answers": [{ "slug": "…", "question": "…", "answer": "…", "groundings": […] }],
  "collection": { "url": "https://shop.example.com/answers", "items": […] },
  "documents": [{ "path": "/answers/…", "source": { /* DocumentSource */ } }]
}

Availability

The Answers Hub is included with Pro and Agency on up to 3 sites; $29/mo covers each additional site. Turn it on from Console → Answers Hub. Serving is never gated: approved answers keep serving until their TTL lapses even if the plan or the extra sites are cancelled, and a self-hoster can hand-write the same document shapes for free.
