# Clickatell AI node

The *Clickatell AI* node enables direct interaction between end-users and an [AI assistant](https://guides.clickatell.com/clickatell-ai-user-guide/assistants/assistants-overview) trained to provide information within a specific business context. 

During the conversation, users can ask questions, and the AI assistant may also prompt for additional input to complete a designated task. When the task is successfully concluded, the user returns to the workflow and advances to the success logic set up in this node. If any issues arise during interaction or the connection fails, the workflow proceeds to the error logic.

The variables produced in a conversation with the AI assistant are returned to Chat Flow and stored as session variables that can be used in later steps in the workflow.

## 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, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.clickatell.com/flow/user-facing-nodes/product-nodes/clickatell-ai-node.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
