3 | 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. |

23 | ## Understand the system |
||||||
|
24 | |||||||
|
25 | AeThex is organized around several connected layers: |
||||||
|
26 | |||||||
|
27 | | Layer | Purpose | Start here | |
||||||
| 28 | |---|---|---| |
|||||||
| 29 | | Network | Routes people to AeThex services | [aethex.net](https://aethex.net) | |
|||||||
| 30 | | Identity | Establishes who a person or organization is | [[Passport Quickstart]] | |
|||||||
| 31 | | Platform | Provides developer systems and shared infrastructure | [aethex.dev](https://aethex.dev) | |
|||||||
| 32 | | Intelligence | Provides KAEL chat, memory, workflows, and integrations | [[KAEL Quickstart]] | |
|||||||
| 33 | | Foundation | Governs community and public-interest programs | [[Foundation]] | |
|||||||
| 34 | | Labs | Explores experimental systems | [[Labs]] | |
|||||||
| 35 | | GameForge | Supports game-development cohorts and credentials | [[GameForge]] | |
|||||||
|
36 | |||||||
|
37 | ## Identity first |
||||||
|
38 | |||||||
|
39 | Use [aethex.id](https://aethex.id) when a workflow requires an AeThex identity. Passport can connect identity across supported AeThex services. |
||||||
|
40 | |||||||
|
41 | Before authorizing a service: |
||||||
|
42 | |||||||
|
43 | - Verify the hostname. |
||||||
| 44 | - Review the requested permissions. |
|||||||
| 45 | - Never share authentication codes, cookies, API keys, or operator tokens. |
|||||||
| 46 | - Use [aethex.support](https://aethex.support) when the expected flow is unclear. |
|||||||
|
47 | |||||||
|
48 | ## Build with the public API |
||||||
|
49 | |||||||
|
50 | The AeThex API is available at `https://api.aethex.tech`. |
||||||
|
51 | |||||||
|
52 | Start with: |
||||||
|
53 | |||||||
|
54 | ```bash |
||||||
| 55 | curl https://api.aethex.tech/health |
|||||||
| 56 | ``` |
|||||||
|
57 | |||||||
|
58 | Then follow [[API Quickstart]] for a streaming KAEL request and [[OpenAPI Reference]] for the public contract. |
||||||
|
59 | |||||||
|
60 | ## Use KAEL |
||||||
|
61 | |||||||
|
62 | - [chat.aethex.tech](https://chat.aethex.tech) is the conversational surface. |
||||||
| 63 | - [kael.aethex.tech](https://kael.aethex.tech) is the dedicated KAEL system surface. |
|||||||
| 64 | - `api.aethex.tech` provides programmatic access. |
|||||||
|
65 | |||||||
|
66 | KAEL capabilities depend on identity, clearance, active model availability, and enabled integrations. See [[KAEL Capabilities]]. |
||||||
|
67 | |||||||
|
68 | ## Join the community |
||||||
|
69 | |||||||
|
70 | - Join the AeThex Discord at [discord.gg/athx](https://discord.gg/athx). |
||||||
| 71 | - Review [[Community]] for participation guidance. |
|||||||
| 72 | - Use [[Discord Integration]] for the distinction between AeThex Bot and KAEL’s Discord application. |
|||||||
