# Annie Knowledge

> Query your infrastructure using natural language. Get instant answers about resources, dependencies, access, and changes across your entire stack.

## Ask in plain English

Ask in plain English, get an answer in seconds. Annie understands context. Ask *"Why can't I access this RDS?"* and she traces security groups, IAM, VPC config, and network ACLs to the actual blocker.

Answers run on a [versioned knowledge graph](/pages/overview/knowledge_graph) spanning cloud, code, containers, and monitoring. It updates in near real-time and stays queryable across the last 7 days. Reach Annie in [Slack](/pages/product/integration/slack), from your IDE via [MCP](/pages/product/integration/remote_mcp), or the [web dashboard](https://app.anyshift.io/).
