How accurate is the AI advice?

Our AI advisors are powered by advanced technology trained on vast amounts of reliable information. They provide generally accurate and helpful responses for most common questions.

However, it's important to understand:

• AI can make mistakes or provide outdated information
• Responses are general guidance, not professional advice tailored to your specific situation
• Laws, regulations, and best practices change over time
• Complex or unique situations may require professional consultation

Our recommendation: Use our AI advisors for general information and guidance, but always verify critical information with authoritative sources and consult licensed professionals for important decisions.

Can AskAI.guide replace professional advisors?

No. AskAI.guide is designed to provide general information and guidance, not professional advice. Our AI advisors should never replace licensed professionals.

Think of us as: A helpful starting point for research, a resource for general questions, and a guide to understanding complex topics. But for specific legal, medical, financial, or tax advice tailored to your situation, always consult qualified licensed professionals.

What are the AI's limitations?

While our AI advisors are powerful and helpful, they have important limitations:

How do I get the best answers from the AI?

The AI maintains context within the current conversation session. This means it can reference earlier parts of your ongoing conversation to provide more relevant follow-up responses.

However, conversations are not permanently saved between sessions. If you close your browser or start a new session, the AI won't remember previous conversations.
