# AskQA

> AskQA continuously verifies that your website's critical user flows — checkout, login, sign-up, add-to-cart — actually work. It drives a real browser the way a customer would, on a schedule, and sends one calm alert with a screenshot when something breaks. No test authoring and no dashboards required: you set it up through an AI assistant using natural language.

AskQA is built to be operated by AI assistants over MCP (Model Context Protocol). Connect it to Claude (Desktop, Code) or any MCP client, then ask things like "is checkout working?" or "monitor the add to cart on my Shopify store". The assistant inspects the page, writes and validates the test, schedules it, and wires up alerts.
