# A more powerful Dev Assistant on shopify.dev

We've overhauled the Dev Assistant to make it a more reliable and comprehensive companion for your development workflow. While the Assistant is already a familiar tool, this update introduces a new engine designed to deliver higher accuracy and broader knowledge across the entire ecosystem.

Key improvements include:

* **Comprehensive platform knowledge**: The Assistant now supports the full breadth of the Shopify development platform. Whether you're working with the GraphQL Admin API, building UI extensions, or configuring Hydrogen, you can ask about any aspect of the platform and get a relevant answer.
* **Verified code examples**: We've improved the accuracy of generated solutions. The Assistant now validates code blocks against our schemas before rendering the response, ensuring the snippets you receive are syntactically correct and ready to use.
* **Direct documentation access**: It's now easier to verify answers and dive deeper into specific topics. The Assistant provides transparent resource links alongside every response, enabling you to navigate quickly to the exact pages on shopify.dev that were used to generate the answer.
