# Core

The Core section contains the fundamental building blocks of AdaptiveCX. Use these features to create predictions, define audiences, track events, and capture visitor affinities and attributes.

## What you'll find here <a href="#what-youll-find-here" id="what-youll-find-here"></a>

* **Predictions** - Create AI models that predict visitor behavior
* **Audiences** - Define segments of visitors based on criteria
* **Events** - Track specific visitor actions on your site
* **Affinities** - Capture visitor interests in categories, brands, and products
* **Attributes** - Store visitor characteristics and session data

## Recommended order <a href="#recommended-order" id="recommended-order"></a>

If you're new to AdaptiveCX, explore these features in order:

1. Events - Define what actions you want to track
2. Attributes - Understand available visitor characteristics
3. Affinities - Set up interest categories
4. Audiences - Create visitor segments
5. Predictions - Build predictive models

## Key concepts <a href="#key-concepts" id="key-concepts"></a>

#### Active vs suggested items <a href="#active-vs-suggested-items" id="active-vs-suggested-items"></a>

Many Core features show both active and suggested items:

* **Active** - Items you've created or confirmed
* **Suggested** - Items AdaptiveCX automatically detected from your data

Suggested items help you discover valuable events, audiences, and affinities you might have missed.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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.abtasty.com/adaptivecx/getting-started/core.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.
