# Chainshift Platform API

> A collection service for AEO/GEO

The Chainshift Platform API runs prompts on AI model services such as ChatGPT and Naver, collects the answers, and helps you analyze data based on them.

## Core flow

![Four-step flow from registering prompts, to running them, polling for completion, and retrieving answers](https://mintcdn.com/dev-chainshift/c3BnnM6Wqa8_WKxl/images/en/flow-light.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=c3BnnM6Wqa8_WKxl\&q=85\&s=68f471f6cbc27c9ced52e53f3df496e5)

You register prompts and submit a run request, and Chainshift collects answers from the AI models you selected on your behalf. Once collection finishes, you can retrieve and aggregate the answer body, the cited sources (citations), and the fan-out queries the AI issued internally.
