# Ask Sherloq AI
> Sherloq AI is your assistant inside the editor.
## What is it?
Sherloq AI is your assistant inside the editor.\
You can ask it things like:
> **"How to filter out the exclude folder?"**\
> **"Why is this query using a LEFT JOIN?"**\
> **"Fix syntax error in this query"**
It reads the queries you’ve saved in Sherloq and gives answers that are **based on your real SQL**, not generic advice.
## How to use it
1. **Open Sherloq AI**\
Click the Sherloq badge in your editor to open the chat.
2. **Ask a question**\
Type your question in natural language — no need to write SQL.
3. **See the answer with real SQL examples**\
Sherloq highlights the relevant logic and explains each part clearly.

## Example: Filtering Folders
🖼️ Here’s what it looks like when you ask a question like\
**“How to filter out the exclude folder?”**
### What this does:
* Joins the `query_folders` table on `parent_id`
* Excludes deleted folders (`deleted_at IS NULL`)
* Filters out names with terms like `monthly`, `weekly`, `template`, etc.
You’ll get both the **SQL** and the **explanation**—so you can learn or adjust it as needed.
## Tip: Ask About Anything
Try things like:
* *“What does this CASE WHEN mean?”*
* *“Can you rewrite this to use CTEs?”*
* *“How to join deals with customers?”*
* *“Fix this BigQuery syntax error”*
Sherloq AI is powered by the queries your team has already written, so it’s always relevant.
