# Launch Agent

Welcome to the central guide for launching your own BioAgent on the Bio Protocol. This documentation is structured to guide you through the entire lifecycle, from initial concept to post-launch success.

**Applications will be opening soon:** We will shortly start accepting applications for new BioAgents. All submissions will be added to our candidate pool and reviewed by the team as time permits. Start thinking about what you would like to launch.

***

This guide is broken down into several sections. Whether you're a developer, a scientist, or an entrepreneur, we recommend reading through them in order to understand the entire process.

* [**1. Introduction: What is a BioAgent?**](/bio/descientists/launch-an-asset/launch-an-agent/1-introduction.md)
  * Learn what BioAgents are, who can build them, and the value they bring to the ecosystem.
* [**2. Choose Your Launch Path**](/bio/descientists/launch-an-asset/launch-an-agent/2-launch-paths.md)
  * Explore the two pathways for launching: bringing your own code or using a Bio-generated template for a simplified, no-code experience.
* [**3. Narrative and Brand**](/bio/descientists/launch-an-asset/launch-an-agent/3-narrative-and-brand.md)

  * A step-by-step guide to the formal application, readiness, and launch phases.
* [**7. Post-Launch Success**](/bio/descientists/launch-an-asset/launch-an-agent/7-post-launch-success.md)
  * Learn how to manage your project after launch, including community engagement, sustainable funding, and scientific validation.

## 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.bio.xyz/bio/descientists/launch-an-asset/launch-an-agent.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.
