In this transition, the status quo: subscriptions, logins, and human‑centric checkout flows becomes a brake on progress. Sentia frames a different path: preserve open web standards, add a native way to pay for exactly one thing, and make privacy the default so people and agents can act with confidence. This Gitbook is the living, canonical guide to Sentia - its vision, architecture, products, and standards. It explains *why* Sentia exists, *what* is being built, and *how* the pieces fit together so collaborators can align on design choices and execution. It is written in clear, non‑technical language with sufficient depth for engineers to act, and enough narrative for partners and stakeholders to evaluate fit. Think of this as a living map you can dip into at any point: big-picture context, what’s being built, how it works, and how to use or build with it, all kept current as Sentia ships and evolves. We’ll refine language, add examples, and fold in lessons from real integrations over time. If you’re ready to dive in, let’s start with the foundation. Head to the introduction. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://sentia-browser.gitbook.io/sentia-browser/welcome-to-sentia.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
