# Using the Help Center (and its Machine API)

> Every help article is available as clean Markdown and via a JSON search API for AI assistants and crawlers.

Every article in this Help Center is published in two formats from a single
Markdown source.

## Human (HTML)

- `/help/` — index of all categories
- `/help/<category>/` — a category listing
- `/help/<category>/<slug>/` — a rendered article

## Machine (for AI assistants & crawlers)

- `/help/<slug>.md` — the raw Markdown body (the source of truth)
- `/help/api/article/<slug>/` — JSON: title, summary, markdown, html
- `/help/api/search/?q=<terms>` — full-text search, returns ranked results
- `/help/llms.txt` — a discovery manifest listing every article's Markdown URL

### "Ask for help"

Point an assistant at `/help/api/search/?q=...`. It returns titles, snippets,
and both the human and Markdown URLs so the assistant can fetch the full,
clean article text and answer the user.
