# AI Assistant API reference

The AI Assistant Server API is intended to be used from your backend to manage data stored in AI Assistant’s database. Example use cases include:

- Deleting session data associated with a user.

- Removing data stored for a specific document.

- Preingesting a document to reduce startup latency for the first session on that document.

This API is secured using `API_AUTH_TOKEN`, which is configured in the [environment variables](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/ai-assistant/service-configuration/docker-configuration.md) of the AI Assistant container.

For the complete API reference, refer to the following link:
