## Overview

[WithAI](https://www.getwith.ai) makes it easy to setup and offer AI-assisted consultations for your product or service.

Consultations can either be setup via the API or with [AskWithAI Links](/askwithai).

Examples of use-cases for WithAI include:

* **Sales and Onboarding**: Interview customers and provide them with detailed advice.
* **Customer Support**: Support customers with troubleshooting and reporting issues.
* **Specialized Expertise**: Provide any type of expertise via consultations.

## How It Works

Offering WithAI consultations consists of three simple steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a consultation plan">
    Describe what information you need the consultation customer to provide and what information you'll be able to provide in return, and a detailed structured consultation plan is auto-generated containing specific criteria for what is needed for the consultation to be successful. You can review and edit this consultation plan via the WithAI website or the API.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Offer your consultation">
    Each consultation plan has [an associated URL](/askwithai) that can be shared with your users. This URL accepts an optional `prompt` parameter to provide more context about the consultation. Consultations can also be initiated via the API.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Simulate consultations">
    This step is optional, but assists with evaluating your consultation plans using auto-generated simulated consultations with a variety of mock user personas. Simulated consultations can be managed through the WithAI website or the API.
  </Step>
