# Ask AI[¶](#ask-ai "Permanent link")

**Ask AI** is the first feature in [Capawesome Cloud Assist](/docs/cloud/assist/). On any failed build or deployment, click the **Ask AI** button to get a structured summary of what went wrong and a suggested fix — without leaving the [Capawesome Cloud](/) Console.

## How It Works[¶](#how-it-works "Permanent link")

On a failed build or deployment, members with write access see an **Ask AI** button (sparkles icon, "New" badge) in the toolbar.

1. Open the failed build or deployment in the [Capawesome Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.capawesome.io).
2. Click **Ask AI**.
3. A consent dialog explains what data is shared. Click **Generate**.
4. After a few seconds, a markdown summary appears in the dialog with three sections:
  * **Cause** — the line(s) that actually broke the job.
  * **Explanation** — why it broke, in plain English.
  * **Suggested fix** — a concrete next step, often with a `bash` snippet.
5. Click **Copy** to put the raw markdown on your clipboard. Paste it into a PR description, ticket, Slack message, or as context into a local AI coding agent like [Claude Code](https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code) or [Cursor](https://www.cursor.com/) to apply the fix directly to your codebase.

## Anatomy of a Result[¶](#anatomy-of-a-result "Permanent link")

Every Ask AI response has the same three sections, rendered as markdown in the dialog and available verbatim via the **Copy** button.

Sample result

**Cause**

`android/app/build.gradle:42` — Could not resolve `com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:33.0.0`.

**Explanation**

Your Android build failed because Gradle could not download the `firebase-bom` artifact at version `33.0.0` from any configured Maven repository. This usually means the version doesn't exist yet, was renamed, or your `repositories` block is missing Google's Maven repo.

**Suggested fix**

Pin `firebase-bom` to a published version and confirm `google()` is listed under `repositories` in `android/build.gradle`.

`[](#%5F%5Fcodelineno-0-1)implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:32.7.0')
`

The output is capped at around 400 words to keep the result a summary rather than a wall of text. Code snippets are formatted as fenced code blocks so they paste cleanly into PRs, tickets, or chat.

## Workflow Integrations[¶](#workflow-integrations "Permanent link")

Ask AI's output is plain markdown by design. A few patterns work well:

* **Paste into a PR description.** When the failure prompted a fix, dropping the diagnosis into the PR body gives reviewers the full context without making them re-read the logs. Renders correctly in GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps.
* **Hand off to a local AI coding agent.** Paste the diagnosis as context into [Claude Code](https://www.anthropic.com/claude-code), [Cursor](https://www.cursor.com/), or any other agent. The agent now has the exact cause and suggested fix, and can apply the change directly to your codebase.
* **Async debugging via shared cache.** When someone links to a failed build in chat or a stand-up, anyone with permission sees the same cached diagnosis instantly — no duplicate AI runs, no inconsistent answers across teammates.
