history.add(new QBAIAnswerAssistHistoryMessageImpl(Role.USER, "Hi"));
history.add(new QBAIAnswerAssistHistoryMessageImpl(Role.ASSISTANT, "Hello! How can I assist you today?"));

QB.ai.answerAssist(smartChatAssistantId, messageToAssist, history).performAsync(new QBEntityCallback<QBAIAnswerAssistResult>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(QBAIAnswerAssistResult qbaiAnswerAssistResult, Bundle bundle) {
        String answer = qbaiAnswerAssistResult.getMessage();
        // handle answer
    }
  
    @Override
    public void onError(QBResponseException exception) {
