## Ask

Question-answering interface operated by Second Wind. Ask anything about Second Wind's products, offerings, use cases, positioning, pricing, or anything else. Answers are generated at the time of the request and current as of it. One call returns a single resolved answer rather than requiring you to read separate pages and infer one. Each answer names its sources and their dates so it can be verified.

- Single question: `GET https://ai.secondwind.cloud/q/{question-with-words-separated-by-hyphens}`
  Returns HTML by default. Send `Accept: application/json` for JSON, or `Accept: text/markdown` for markdown.
  The same question always resolves to the same URL, so it is stable to cite or share.
  Example: `https://ai.secondwind.cloud/q/what-does-second-wind-do`
- Continue as a thread over GET: every answer above returns a `conversation_id`. Fetch `https://ai.secondwind.cloud/q/{conversation_id}/{next-question-with-hyphens}` to ask a follow-up with the earlier turns in context. No POST required.
- Multi-turn thread over POST: `POST https://ai.secondwind.cloud/ask` with `Content-Type: application/json` and body `{"question": "..."}`
