Choose the path that matches what you are trying to accomplish. AeThex is an ecosystem of identity, development, intelligence, community, and research services; you do not need to learn every part before beginning.

Understand the system
AeThex is organized around several connected layers:
| Layer | Purpose | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| Network | Routes people to AeThex services | aethex.net |
| Identity | Establishes who a person or organization is | Passport Quickstart |
| Platform | Provides developer systems and shared infrastructure | aethex.dev |
| Intelligence | Provides KAEL chat, memory, workflows, and integrations | KAEL Quickstart |
| Foundation | Governs community and public-interest programs | Foundation |
| Labs | Explores experimental systems | Labs |
| GameForge | Supports game-development cohorts and credentials | GameForge |
Identity first
Use aethex.id when a workflow requires an AeThex identity. Passport can connect identity across supported AeThex services.
Before authorizing a service:
- Verify the hostname.
- Review the requested permissions.
- Never share authentication codes, cookies, API keys, or operator tokens.
- Use aethex.support when the expected flow is unclear.
Build with the public API
The AeThex API is available at https://api.aethex.tech.
Start with:
curl https://api.aethex.tech/health
Then follow API Quickstart for a streaming KAEL request and OpenAPI Reference for the public contract.
Use KAEL
- chat.aethex.tech is the conversational surface.
- kael.aethex.tech is the dedicated KAEL system surface.
api.aethex.techprovides programmatic access.
KAEL capabilities depend on identity, clearance, active model availability, and enabled integrations. See KAEL Capabilities.
Join the community
- Join the AeThex Discord at discord.gg/athx.
- Review Community for participation guidance.
- Use Discord Integration for the distinction between AeThex Bot and KAEL’s Discord application.
