# Start here

Data Studio and the platform guides — where your data lives in Dapta, how to connect your own sources, and how to work with tables and APIs.

**Data Studio** is where your data lives inside Dapta. Tables hold your records, data sources connect databases you already run, and the Data Explorer is how you and your team read and edit all of it.

Your agents and flows read from and write to the same place, so what a call captures today is what a report shows tomorrow.

## What is in here

|                   |                                                                                                    |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Tables**        | Browse your data, create a Dapta-managed database, or link tables from a database you already have |
| **Data sources**  | Connect PostgreSQL, MongoDB, a database hosted in AWS, or any API                                  |
| **Data Explorer** | Format columns, filter and sort, see the activity log, and control who can see what                |
| **APIs**          | Turn your data into an endpoint your own systems can call                                          |

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.dapta.ai/product-guides/product-guides.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
