# Getting Started

Welcome to the Amigo Developer Guide. This section covers the essentials for building on the Amigo platform.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Getting started covers both APIs.** Core concepts and authentication patterns are shared, though the examples here use the Classic API. For Platform API setup, see [Platform API Authentication](/developer-guide/platform-api/platform-api/authentication.md).
{% endhint %}

## Prerequisites

{% hint style="info" %}
**Before you begin** Make sure you have your organization ID and initial credentials from your Amigo representative.
{% endhint %}

## Essential Reading

Read these three pages first, in order.

1. [**Core Concepts**](/developer-guide/getting-started/core-concepts.md) The fundamental building blocks: Users, Services, Conversations, and Interactions.
2. [**Authentication**](/developer-guide/getting-started/authentication.md) Set up API keys and secure authentication for your applications.
3. [**Regions & Endpoints**](/developer-guide/getting-started/regions-and-endpoints.md) Configure the correct regional endpoint for your organization.

## Build Your First Application

Once the essentials are in place, build something.

1. **Install an SDK**
   * [Python SDK](/developer-guide/classic-api/sdks/sdk-installation.md)
   * [TypeScript SDK](/developer-guide/classic-api/sdks/sdk-installation.md)
2. **Configure authentication**
   * [SDK Configuration Guide](/developer-guide/classic-api/sdks/sdk-configuration.md)
3. **Create your first conversation**
   * [Hello World Example](/developer-guide/classic-api/sdks/sdk-hello-world.md)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.amigo.ai/developer-guide/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
