Snyk Assist is an AI-powered chatbot integrated into the Snyk Learn platform. It is designed to answer your Snyk product and application security questions instantly, helping you learn faster and resolve queries efficiently directly within your learning environment.

Snyk Assist enhances your learning experience within the Snyk Learn platform by:

* Providing immediate answers to questions about Snyk products, features, and general application security concepts.
* Delivering context-aware replies based on Snyk's extensive knowledge base.
* Suggesting relevant follow-on learning opportunities available within Snyk Learn, Snyk Docs and the Snyk Blog.

## How Snyk Assist Works

Snyk Assist utilizes Generative AI to respond to questions based on information retrieved from trusted Snyk sources:

* [Snyk Learn lessons](https://learn.snyk.io/catalog/?format=lesson)
* [Snyk Documentation](https://docs.snyk.io/readme)

Snyk Assist **does not** have access to your Snyk tenant data, such as issue and asset information, or Snyk Learn learning history. While interacting with Snyk Assist, we collect and process your queries and conversation history to provide responses and improve our service.

The technology leverages Snyk-managed services and selected third-party Large Language Model (LLM) providers to respond with helpful and informative answers.

**Capabilities and Limitations**

* Snyk Assist **is designed** to answer questions regarding Snyk functionality and security concepts based on its knowledge base derived from Snyk Learn and Snyk Docs.
* Snyk Assist **does not** perform security analysis, check your code for vulnerabilities, comment on code quality, or provide specific code samples. For code scanning and analysis, continue using the Snyk CLI, Snyk IDE extensions, or recurring SCM tests integrated with your repositories.
* Snyk Assist provides information from its body of knowledge, but responses should not be considered legal, security, or compliance advice. While we strive for accuracy, Snyk is not liable for decisions made based on information provided by Snyk Assist. Always verify critical security information through official Snyk documentation and tools.
