# Ask

Ask is a feature in Appfarm AI for you to ask questions directly to the documentation and your Solution. Access Ask by opening the Appfarm AI sidebar and toggling the **Ask** mode.

Ask has access to the complete Appfarm [Documentation](https://docs.appfarm.io/) and [Policies](https://policies.appfarm.io/), providing it with technical, legal, and commercial knowledge. It also has the context of your Solution model, enabling it to provide answers based on the current state of your app. Unlike [Agent mode](/reference/appfarm-ai/build.md), Ask isn't limited to specific parts of Appfarm Create–it can answer questions about anything covered in the documentation or policies.

Using Ask does not consume [AI credits](/reference/appfarm-ai/ai-credits.md).

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.appfarm.io/reference/appfarm-ai/ask.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
