# Create an App

## What is an App

An App is your entry point to using Exa Drive. You can create multiple apps to group the files as per your use case. For example, one app could be utilized to store the static assets of a website you are building and another app could be for storing files uploaded by users on your mobile application.

You can link each app to a different domain or subdomain using CNAME.

The possibilities are seamless.

## 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://exaprotocol.gitbook.io/home/exadrive-dashboard/create-an-app.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.
