# Get started

- [Deploy an app](https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/running-llms-with-kinesis-network.md): Choose a source, configure your app and verify its first deployment.
- [Create a project](https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/running-llms-with-kinesis-network/creating-a-project.md): Organize a workload before deploying its first app.
- [Deploy from the App Gallery](https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/running-llms-with-kinesis-network/creating-apps-with-app-gallery.md): Start from a curated app configuration and choose how to launch it.
- [Create a custom app](https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/running-llms-with-kinesis-network/creating-an-app-from-scratch.md): Configure a container image or GitHub repository in the five-step app wizard.
- [Compute options](https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/running-llms-with-kinesis-network/understanding-compute-sources.md): Choose between serverless capacity and compute managed through grids.
- [Grids and shared capacity](https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/running-llms-with-kinesis-network/understanding-grids.md): Organize servers, target apps and understand shared-grid behavior.
- [Monitor and troubleshoot](https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/running-llms-with-kinesis-network/monitoring-apps.md): Read status, choose the right logs and investigate deployment or runtime failures.
- [Contribute compute](https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/kinetization-of-idle-compute.md): Prepare, onboard and operate hardware contributed to the Kinesis network.
- [What is Kinetized Compute?](https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/kinetization-of-idle-compute/what-is-kinetized-compute.md)
- [Expectations From Providers](https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/kinetization-of-idle-compute/expectations-from-providers.md)
- [Onboard Your Compute](https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/kinetization-of-idle-compute/onboard-your-compute.md)
- [Reports, Performance, and Earnings](https://docs.kinesis.network/getting-started/kinetization-of-idle-compute/reports-performance-and-earnings.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.kinesis.network/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.
