### What’s the Buzz About? <a href="#what-e2-80-99s-the-buzz-about" id="what-e2-80-99s-the-buzz-about"></a>

This Buildathon is more than just a competition. It's a creative expedition into the realms of 3D design. With this buildathon, we hope to build a vibrant bank of 3D objects that will be usable in new ways inside of the Monaverse, with some upcoming launches.

### The Challenge Awaits <a href="#the-challenge-awaits" id="the-challenge-awaits"></a>

# Agent Instructions: 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:

```
GET https://docs.monaverse.com/general-resources/buildathons-challenges/3d-asset-buildathon-current.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
