# Ask AI

> Ask a quick question, anywhere, without switching apps.

**Ask AI** (internally, *QuickQuestion*) is a fast answer box that opens over
whatever you're doing. Type a question, get a reply, and get back to work —
no browser tab, no context switch.

## Open it

Press <kbd>⌃</kbd> <kbd>⌥</kbd> <kbd>Q</kbd> from any app, or choose **Ask AI**
from the Dax menu.

## Use it

<Steps>
  <Step title="Ask">
    Type your question in the box.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the answer">
    Dax replies inline.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy what you need">
    Copy the answer and paste it wherever you're working.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Keep questions short and specific — Ask AI is built for the quick "what's the
  flag for…" moments, not long research sessions.
</Tip>

## Great for

* Recalling a command flag or syntax without leaving your terminal
* A quick definition or sanity check mid-task
* Rephrasing a sentence or naming a variable on the spot
