# Adding your first BierBot Brick

1. To connect your Brick to your brewery, head over to 'Bricks' on the left menu, and click the blue <img src="/files/-Mea6JxmH6RuD-o7GFtS" alt="" data-size="original"> on the top right corner.
2. Copy the API-key into your clipboard, you'll need it later.
3. Connect your BierBot Brick to power. It will create an WiFi starting 'BierBot Brick'. Connect to it using the same device.
4. After connection you're redirected to the configuration page. Select 'Configure WiFi' at the top.
5. Wait for the scan to finish, select your home (or brewery ;) ) WiFi, set the password and paste the API-key from your clipboard into the respective fields.
6. Your Brick should show up automatically. If not, refresh the page after 10s.
7. Hit 'Activate' (mandatory). Optional: change the Bricks name by clicking on it.

This process is the same (at least from 1-3) for other devices you might want to add to your brewery.

## 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://docs.bierbot.com/getting-started/adding-your-first-brick.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.
