# Intro & general information
AlphaScan AI is revolutionizing the way traders approach alpha discovery by empowering users to uncover hidden gems before the market takes off and automate their trading using social signals.
By harnessing the power of off-chain sentiment analysis on Twitter, AlphaScan AI provides a unique advantage to traders. It enables them to separate the signal from the noise, giving them a clearer understanding of market trends and potential opportunities.\
\
Using those signals, AlphaScan AI then enables them to implement trading strategies to optimize trading execution.
Read on if you want to read more about what tools AlphaScan AI currently provides and how you can use social sentiment analysis for your advantage.
Nothing you see in AlphaScan AI is financial advice. We only provide data for you to do your own research.

## 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://alphascan.gitbook.io/docs/product-guide/intro-and-general-information.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
