# Your BactoBox® journey

Congratulations, this means you are now at the *Beginner* skill level. In turn, you are ready for the [Do a simple measurement](/tutorials/measure-vitroid-tm-disc.md) tutorial.

<figure><img src="/files/HItSeQPm9FitmYG3zVFN" alt="Your BactoBox® journey: from Getting started to the Beginner skill level, through Measure on cells, on to the Intermediate skill level and Microbial process development. Each step has a proven path (tutorial or how-to guide) and a fast path (mini course)."><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Each step comes in two versions: a detailed **tutorial** or **how-to guide** (the proven path), and a condensed **mini course** (the fast path). Pick whichever fits your time.

# 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://help.sbtinstruments.com/getting-started/your-bactobox-r-journey.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.
