# Introduction

### WASP

WASP (WebAssembly Agent System Platform) is a comprehensive development environment created by the UOMI team for building, testing, and deploying WebAssembly agents. It provides a simulation environment that mirrors the UOMI blockchain's behavior, allowing developers to create and test agents in a controlled environment before deployment.

#### Key Features

* WebAssembly-based agent execution
* Blockchain node simulation
* Built-in debugging capabilities
* Frontend integration tools
* Hot-reloading development environment

### Architecture Overview

WASP implements a three-layer architecture:

1. **Host Layer** - Simulates blockchain node behavior
2. **Agent Layer** - Contains the WebAssembly agent code
3. **Frontend Layer** - Provides user interface and interaction

#### Communication Flow

```
Frontend (main.js) <-> Host Simulation <-> WebAssembly Agent
```

## 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.uomi.ai/build/build-an-agent/introduction.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.
