# Start here

> What Boom is, and which part of this site is yours depending on what you do.

Boom puts an AI agent in conversation with your customers over WhatsApp. One
agent per organization, briefed once from your knowledge base, sent on whatever
mission you need: winning back customers who left, answering support, onboarding
someone who stalled, qualifying a lead, collecting a document, asking why people
churn.

The four ideas the rest of this site is built on:

* **[The agent](/the-agent)** does the talking, in your voice, and hands off to a
  person when it should not handle something.
* **[An initiative](/initiatives)** is one mission: who you reach and what the
  agent is trying to accomplish.
* **[A journey](/journeys)** is the flow that carries a mission, the messages and
  waits and branches.
* **[Extraction](/extraction)** turns each conversation into typed fields you can
  count and export, instead of transcripts nobody reads.

If a customer writes to you first, no mission is needed. See
[inbound conversations](/inbound).

## Which part of this site is yours

**If you run the campaigns and not the code**, read this page and the five above
it. They are prose, no code required, and they will tell you what Boom can do and
what the words mean when someone on your team says "the segment hasn't been
evaluated". The day to day work of creating and launching happens in the Boom
app. This site documents the API underneath it.

**If you are integrating Boom from your own systems**, start with the
[API overview](/api-reference/overview), then the quickstart and authentication
pages in that same tab. [One uniform surface](/one-surface) explains why every
REST endpoint has an identically named MCP tool.

**If you want an AI agent to operate Boom for you**, [connect over MCP](/use-mcp)
and install the [skills](/skills). That is the fastest path from nothing to a
running initiative, because the agent reads the same documentation you would and
already knows the order of operations.

## Two things worth knowing before you plan around them

WhatsApp is the conversational channel. Email is outbound only right now: a
journey can send one, and there is no reply loop back to the agent.

The dashboard, the API and MCP are not three copies of the same surface. A few
things live only in the app, and this site says so where it matters: creating an
email template, connecting a database, re-running extraction over conversations
that already closed.
