Future The Holistic Care AI assistants should retrieve from approved knowledge before generating recommendations. They should: * distinguish educational guidance from professional care * avoid diagnosis * use age-appropriate routing for children's resources * surface uncertainty rather than inventing an answer * refer users to relevant source pages * avoid exposing private course content, paid scripts, internal SOPs, or user data * include escalation language when a request suggests immediate safety or clinical risk ## Principles for THC AI guidance Any future THC AI resource should: * ground answers in approved THC knowledge * cite or surface the relevant source page * avoid diagnosis and treatment claims * adapt language to the age and context of the user * state uncertainty when the source does not support a definite answer * protect private and paid content * avoid exposing personal or client information * route safety-sensitive situations toward appropriate human support AI can help people navigate resources, but it should not replace professional judgement in high-risk situations. ## Related guidance * [Responsible Practice & Safety](https://knowledge.theholisticcare.com/knowledge/responsible-practice-and-safety) * [Privacy & Data](https://knowledge.theholisticcare.com/knowledge/responsible-practice-and-safety/privacy-and-data) * [Safeguarding Children](https://knowledge.theholisticcare.com/knowledge/responsible-practice-and-safety/safeguarding-children) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://knowledge.theholisticcare.com/knowledge/responsible-practice-and-safety/ai-resource-guidance.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.
