let history = [QBAIAnswerAssistHistoryMessage(role: .assistant, message: "History message"),
QBAIAnswerAssistHistoryMessage(role: .user, message: "Hi"),
QBAIAnswerAssistHistoryMessage(role: .assistant, message: "Hello! How can I assist you today?")
]
let result = try await QB.ai.answerAssist(withSmartChatAssistantId: smartChatAssistantId,
messageToAssist: messageToAssist,
history: history)
let answer = result.answer
// handle answer
```
```swift theme={null}
let smartChatAssistantId = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
