We are a Q&A (question-and-answer) platform on which anyone can ask questions and use AI (artificial intelligence) to have their questions answered. The service is free-to-use, and user registration is optional.
Our long-term mission is to provide helpful answers to every question imaginable. We hope to accomplish this by continuously improving our website along with its underlying technologies.

Ask a New Question was originally called Jiskha Homework Help and was created by Leo Galleguillos when he was still in middle school. The website, originally located at Jiskha.com, hosted school notes for various classes such as biology, mathematics, history, and language arts. Over the years, Jiskha gradually became an interactive website on which anyone could post homework questions and get help in any academic subject.
The word "Jiskha" means "good girl" in a native Bolivian language called Aymara and was the name of the founder's late dog.
Jiskha experienced over two decades of steady growth and began launching versions of the website in other languages such as Sesotho, Spanish, Swahili, and Tagalog.
For legal and accounting reasons, Jiskha LLC was formed and became the parent company of Jiskha Homework Help.
On July 1, 2022, Jiskha LLC was renamed to Questions LLC, and the entire website was moved from the jiskha.com domain to the questions.llc domain.
In addition, the mission statement of the website was expanded to provide helpful answers in virtually all categories rather than focusing solely on homework questions.
On August 1, 2024, Questions LLC was renamed to Ask a New Question and moved to https://askanewquestion.com
