# Overview

Use this section when you are designing tables, ingesting data, querying Pinot, choosing indexes, or connecting Pinot to applications and tools. The goal here is to help you decide what to do next and then take you to the right detailed docs without forcing you through raw reference first.

## Core build workflows

{% content-ref url="/pages/JHGSeFAN7cpJaw9dZyzo" %}
[Data modeling](/build-with-pinot/data-modeling.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/YqYKvoLQRBDeRhikxqKe" %}
[Ingestion](/build-with-pinot/ingestion.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/ylJExJhigHcd3NiRoRFT" %}
[Querying & SQL](/build-with-pinot/querying-and-sql.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/6iTiVOEu4Bqoz6Yeobcj" %}
[Indexing](/build-with-pinot/indexing.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/ZeU0T4mM3Dqq7C5CKZvi" %}
[Connectors, clients & APIs](/build-with-pinot/connectors-clients-apis.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

## When to use Reference

If you already know the exact property, endpoint, or plugin you need, jump to the [Reference](/reference/reference.md) section. Build-focused pages in this section explain how pieces fit together. Reference pages stay dense on purpose.

## What this page covered

This page introduced the task-oriented `Build with Pinot` structure and pointed to the main workflows for modeling, ingestion, querying, indexing, and integration.

## Next step

Start with the workflow that matches your immediate task, such as [Data modeling](/build-with-pinot/data-modeling.md) or [Ingestion](/build-with-pinot/ingestion.md).

# Agent Instructions: 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:

```
GET https://docs.pinot.apache.org/build-with-pinot/build-with-pinot.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
