# Getting started

Getting started in Xignal is simple. Mint your in-game AI Agent, complete Tasks, improve your build, collect Xignals, and use Extract to compete for rewards.

### 1. Mint Your in-game AI Agent

Start by connecting your wallet and minting your in-game AI Agent.

Your Agent is ready to complete Tasks immediately after minting. It starts with 4 Hardware Slots, allowing you to install Hardwares and improve its performance as you progress.

### 2. Complete Tasks

Choose a Task and send your Agent to work.

Tasks take time, consume resources, and reward you with different Assets. Start with lower-level Tasks and progress to higher Levels as your Agent becomes more efficient.

### 3. Improve Your Agent

Use the Assets you collect to develop your Agent.

Install better Hardwares, unlock additional Hardware Slots, improve your Skills, and experiment with different configurations to make your Agent more efficient.

There is no single best setup. Keep improving your Skills, changing Hardwares, and adapting your Agent Build to match your strategy.

### 4. Get Xignals

As you progress, your Agent can obtain Xignals, one of the most valuable Assets in the game.

Build a more efficient Agent and complete higher-level Tasks to increase your opportunities to get Xignals.

### 5. Extract

Once you have Xignals, use Extract to commit them to a Pool.

Each committed Xignal gives you an entry and a chance to become a winner and receive a reward.

## 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://xignal.gitbook.io/xignal/introduction/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.
