# Choose Your Path

Use this page when you know what you want to achieve, but not yet which guide deserves your time.

## If You Only Click Three Things

1. [Quickstart](QUICKSTART.md) - prove the SDK works on your machine.
2. [Getting Started](GETTING_STARTED.md) - make your first complete run bundle.
3. [Workflow Hub](WORKFLOWS.md) - continue into research, data, AI, or demo work.
