# Welcome to AXOBUG

From your first signal to something people can play with. The field guide to AXOBUG and Neuro API.

## One simple loop

| Send               | Receive                           | Create                                         |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| A sensory stimulus | Neural activity + movement drives | A reaction in your game, artwork or experiment |

AXOBUG hosts a fruit fly brain simulation. Your project sends a short experiment over HTTP and gets a JSON response. You choose how that response changes your world: a dodge, a burst of colour, a sound or a character’s pace.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Open to experiment**

The public alpha needs no API key. Start with 30 requests per minute per IP and ten stimuli, plus a quiet control. Each request is an independent experiment.
{% endhint %}

## Your first minute in the playground

Open Playground and choose a stimulus beside the fly. Change the strength to compare reactions, pause to inspect the scene, or drag the brain to explore its shape. Fine-tune exposes duration and seed; experiment details let you inspect and export the result.

Standard playground settings load recorded model responses for a quick first reaction. Custom settings run through the API. The standalone games and API console send real requests. The homepage’s ambient atlas is a decorative introduction.

# 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.axobug.com/welcome.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.
