# AI goal assistant

This AI feature is built into the existing [Goals](/totara-20/docs/edit-or-update-a-totara-goal) feature in **Perform**.

Known as the AI goal assistant, this AI feature is an option presented to learners if they want additional support in crafting a well-structured goal following the ‘SMART’ goal format. The learner will be asked a series of open questions, and then the **AI goal assistant** will help to format this into a first draft of a well-structured goal.

## How to use AI goal assistant

Learners can create new goals using the **AI goal assistant** from the **Goals** page by following these steps:

1. Go to *Develop > Goals.*
2. Click **Create goal**.
3. Select **Create using AI.**
4. Complete the following fields.
  - What do you want to achieve?
  - Why is this goal important to you or your role?
  - How will you know when you’ve achieved it?
5. Select **Next** to generate your SMART goal.
6. Once created, edit the goal if needed within the text editor.
7. Select **Create and close** to create the new goal and return to the **Goals** page, or **Create and view** to create and view the new goal.
