# AskAI

**AskAI** is an AI-powered assistant that helps users **ask questions about Soda** and get answers directly from Soda documentation.

It is designed to:

* Reduce time spent searching docs
* Help new and existing users understand Soda concepts faster

## How does AskAI work?

AskAI works just like other LLM-based chats, but its **knowledge base is limited to Soda documentation**.

### Data usage and privacy

* Only the **user’s question** is sent to the model
* The only additional context provided is **Soda documentation content**
* No customer datasets, metadata, or contracts are included or sent to Soda while using AskAI
* Requests are not used for model training

### Guardrails and limitations

* Responses are restricted to Soda-related topics
* AskAI may not always produce complete or perfectly accurate answers
* AskAI does **not** provide explainability or audit trails beyond the answer itself

{% hint style="success" %}
AskAI should be treated as a **documentation assistant**, not a source of truth.
