# Answers Agent

{% hint style="success" %}
The Answers Agent is **active** on your account. Access it from the AI Studio or via the AI icon in the top right of the screen.
{% endhint %}

The Answers Agent is your in-platform support companion. Ask it anything about Patchworks - it searches across the documentation, community, and knowledge base and gives you a direct, contextual answer without you having to leave what you're working on.

Rather than opening a new tab, hunting through docs, or waiting for a support ticket, you get an immediate answer grounded in the same sources the Patchworks team uses - surfaced right where you need it.

### What it searches <a href="#sources" id="sources"></a>

When you ask a question, the Answers Agent queries across three sources simultaneously and synthesises a single, direct response:

Results are ranked by relevance and recency, so you always get an answer that reflects the current state of the platform - not an out-of-date article.

### How to use it <a href="#how-to-use" id="how-to-use"></a>

The Answers Agent is available from the **AI Studio** page under **Platform Agents**, and can also be opened from the persistent chat icon in the top navigation bar anywhere in Patchworks.

{% step %}

### Open the Answers Agent

Navigate to **AI Studio → Platform Agents** and select the Answers Agent card, or click the chat icon in the top navigation bar from any screen in Patchworks.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Ask your question

Type your question in plain language - as specifically or broadly as you like. You don't need to know which section of the docs to look in; the agent handles that for you.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Get a direct answer

The agent returns a synthesised answer with links to the relevant source pages so you can read further if needed. No list of search results to trawl through - just the answer.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Follow up or go deeper

Continue the conversation with follow-up questions. The agent keeps context across the chat, so you can drill into specifics without repeating yourself
