# 4. THE9 KIOSK Platform

## What is KIOSK ?

A kiosk is a self-service interactive terminal or booth that allows users to access various services, information, or products. It typically features a touch screen interface and may offer options for payments, ticketing, information retrieval, ordering, and more. Kiosks are commonly used in various settings such as retail stores, airports, hotels, restaurants, and public spaces to enhance customer convenience and streamline operations. They play a crucial role in providing quick and efficient services, reducing wait times, and improving overall customer experiences.

## 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://the9company.gitbook.io/the9-white-paper-3.1/4.-the9-kiosk-platform.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.
