# Quickstart

Try DextorOS with the demo fleet before you connect any hardware.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Draft.** Some details on this page are still being confirmed and may change. Questions? Email <info@dextoros.app>.
{% endhint %}

Start with the demo fleet. Connect a real machine when you are ready.

The demo fleet is a set of simulated robots (arms, a warehouse AMR, a quadruped and a humanoid) so you can learn the console, skills and rules without touching hardware. You can remove it in one click once your own robots are connected.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Pick a robot

Open the console and choose a robot from the **Fleet** list. Filter the list by **all**, **online** or **offline**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Ask what it accepts

Type `help`. Each robot lists the commands its body supports. An arm can't drive to a bay, and a rover has no gripper.

```
> help
AMR-11 accepts status, move_to B3, dock, pause, resume
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Send a command

Try `status`, then `move_to B3` or `dock`. The console shows when the robot accepts a command and logs what happens next, such as `Arrived at bay B3`.

See every command in [Console commands](/fleet-and-console/console-commands.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## See which robots can run a skill

Pick a skill such as **Pick and place** and DextorOS checks every robot for the hardware it needs. Learn how in [Which robots can run a skill](/skills-and-training/which-robots-can-run-a-skill.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Set your first rule

Create a rule like **When battery below threshold, send to dock.** It acts on every robot that reports a battery level, whatever the maker. See [Rules](/automation/rules.md).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# 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.dextoros.app/get-started/quickstart.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.
