# TapAI

TapAI lets your users scan NFC tags and interact with them using AI through text or speech - making it possible for them to have intelligent conversations with your products.

TapAI is an additional Module that is currently available exclusively on Direct Response. It is still in beta, but is available to use now.

{% hint style="warning" %}
TapAI can be used on standard NFC tags and even QR codes. However, we strongly recommend using TapAI only with authentication (NTAG424) NFC tags. [This is why](/modules/tapai/tapai-with-authentication.md). 
{% endhint %}

## Using TapAI

TapAI is integrated into all the standard ixkio features including subtags, inherited data structures, advanced data and more :

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ixkio.com/modules/tapai.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
