# Quick Start

Using Lumi AI starts with defining your first Knowledge Base -- the heart and source of truth for your requests throughout the application.

Creating a Knowledge Base involves:

## [1. Defining a connection to a source system](https://docs.lumi-ai.com/setting-up/1.-connect)

Lumi AI requires a connection to load definitions and ultimately run queries against a target.

## [2. Configuring relevant context](https://docs.lumi-ai.com/setting-up/configure-knowledge-base)

This is where you define tables, their fields, joins/relationships, and all other knowledge like metrics, aliases, and business details related to the Knowledge Base.

## [3. Inviting users and managing access](https://docs.lumi-ai.com/setting-up/invite-users)

Once configured, invite others to use the newly built Knowledge Base and ask start asking questions, or to co-contribute/maintain it as it evolves.

***

With your first Knowledge Base complete, you're then ready to ask questions in Chat and build away in Boards! :tada:

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lumi-ai.com/setting-up/quick-start.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
