# Introduction

Explore our knowledge base for the right answers, your go-to resource for all things Pump!

Pump is a free cloud cost management platform that saves you time and money on cloud. We do this through our cost-savings optimization platform, infrastructure recommendations to find money left on the table, real-time cost visibility and anomaly detection, and more into one platform that's easy to set up and use.

Pump is free because it earns revenue through cloud providers, not from your savings. It never takes a cut of what you save, so every dollar Pump helps you reclaim goes back to you.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.pump.co/getting-started/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
