# AI Route Optimization

Use AI-assisted Route Optimization to review a technician's scheduled route and suggest a more efficient sequence for the day's service stops.

**AI Route Optimization helps technicians spend less time planning the order of their stops and more time servicing customers.**

A technician's route for the day may contain multiple scheduled customer stops. SwimTech can use the technician's existing route as the starting point and evaluate the sequence of those stops.

The AI Route Optimization capability then provides a **suggested resequencing of the route stops** intended to help the technician organize the day's travel more efficiently.

## A Suggested Route—not an Automatic Decision

The optimized route is a suggestion. The technician can review the proposed sequence before deciding whether to use it.

This is important because the technician may know information that is not represented by the route alone, such as customer timing requirements, property access considerations, service priorities, or other circumstances that affect the best order for the day's work.

The technician remains in control and can accept or modify the suggested route based on the realities of the service day.

> **The goal of AI Route Optimization is to use technology to simplify route planning while allowing the technician to make the final decision about how the day's work should be performed.**

## 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://help.getswimtech.com/documentation/working-smarter-with-swimtech/ai-assistance-in-swimtech/ai-route-optimization.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.
