# Setup the Cloud and AI Gateway

This section guides you through the complete onboarding flow to configure your **Cloud and AI Gateway** in Flashgate.

You will move through three practical stages:

1. **Add Resources**: connect your storage buckets and AI providers.
2. **Build a Repository**: group those resources behind one logical endpoint with access keys.
3. **Test a Repository**: validate data and AI operations end-to-end before production use.

## What you will find in this guide

* [**Add Resources**](/guides/setup-the-cloud-and-ai-gateway/start-with-cloud-storage.md): how to register external resources (cloud storage and AI LLM connectors) in your organization.
* [**Build a Repository**](/guides/setup-the-cloud-and-ai-gateway/start-with-cloud-storage-1.md): how to create and configure a repository, including endpoint details and API credentials.
* [**Test a Repository**](/guides/setup-the-cloud-and-ai-gateway/test-a-repository.md): how to test object storage and prompt workflows through your Flashgate endpoint.

## Before you start

Make sure your account and organization are ready, and that you have access to the target cloud provider accounts you want to connect.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.flashback.tech/guides/setup-the-cloud-and-ai-gateway.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
