# Smart Debugging

Is your code erroring because you typed a variable name incorrectly? Maybe you mixed up your single and double quotes? Or maybe it's something more complicated and nuanced like accidentally running Jupyter code cells out of order. Debugging errors like these can be challenging and frustrating, taking you out of the flow of exploring and analyzing your data. 

Mito makes it easy to debug these errors using AI. Just ask for help.

### How to debug errors using AI?

When a code cell errors, click the `Fix Error in AI Chat` button to have Mito AI automatically try to fix your error. It will use the context of the code cell and variables that you have defined to figure out why your code is erroring and suggest a fix.&#x20;

## 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.trymito.io/mito-ai/smart-debugging.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.
