# What is the AI Assistant?

The AI Assistant answers questions about timebanking, your account and your community, in everyday language.

The **AI Assistant** is a chat tool. You type a question in everyday language, and it writes an answer. It is run by artificial intelligence (AI), not by a person.

## Where to find it

Open [AI Assistant](/chat) . You can also find **AI Assistant** in the main menu. On a phone, press **Menu** and look under **Explore** .

## How to use it

1. Type your question in the box at the bottom of the page.
2. Press Enter, or press the send button. To start a new line without sending, hold Shift and press Enter.
3. Read the answer. Some answers include cards you can press, for example to open a listing or an event.

Not sure what to ask? Choose one of the examples under **Try asking...** .

Under each answer, press thumbs up or thumbs down to say whether it helped.

To clear the chat and start again, press the button to start a new conversation, at the top of the chat.

## Daily limit

You can ask a limited number of questions each day. The number you have left is shown at the top, for example **5 left today** .
