API & Integration

Connect Engineering Intelligence
to Your Technology

Give your applications, platforms and engineering services access to Ask Michael through a partner API designed for AI-assisted engineering interactions.

Engineering Intelligence Layer

Extend Your Existing Technology With AI-Assisted Engineering

Ask Michael can provide an AI-assisted engineering capability alongside existing software, industrial platforms and technical services.

Instead of requiring users to leave the technology they already use, integration partners can explore ways to make engineering intelligence available within their own products and workflows.

Partner API

Built for Controlled Partner Access

The current partner API provides authenticated access to Ask Michael's engineering AI capabilities.

API Key Authentication

Partner requests are authenticated using a dedicated API key. Requests can use standard Bearer authentication when connecting to the partner endpoint.

Engineering AI Requests

Applications can submit engineering questions and receive AI-generated responses through the partner API.

Usage Tracking

Partner API usage is tracked against the organisation's account, including message usage and configured message limits.

Usage-Based Billing

Partner accounts can be configured with included message allowances and additional usage billing when configured limits are exceeded.

Simple Request Flow

From Application to Engineering Response

01

Authenticate

Your application sends an authenticated request using its assigned partner API key.

02

Submit

Your application submits an engineering question through the partner endpoint.

03

Generate

Ask Michael processes the request and returns an AI-assisted engineering response.

04

Track

The partner account records usage against its configured message allowance.

Integration Opportunities

Where Ask Michael Can Add Value

Industrial Software

Explore AI-assisted engineering capabilities within industrial and engineering software environments.

Engineering Services

Extend specialist engineering services with AI-assisted access to technical information and engineering knowledge.

OEM & Technology Partners

Developer View

A Straightforward API Model

Partner applications submit a message and receive a structured JSON response.

POST /api/partner/chat

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PARTNER_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "message": "Engineering question"
}

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "response": "Ask Michael engineering response",
  "usage": {
    "messages": 1,
    "includedMessages": 2000,
    "billedExtraMessages": 0,
    "extraMessages": 0
  }
}

Example structure only. Partners receive their own API credentials and account configuration.

Responsible Engineering AI

AI Assistance Within Professional Workflows

Ask Michael provides AI-assisted engineering information and analysis. It is intended to support professional workflows, not replace qualified engineering judgement or established review processes.

Partners and end users remain responsible for reviewing outputs, validating technical information and applying appropriate engineering, regulatory and organisational requirements.
