# Grid Status Labs

Labs features allow users to explore new functionality before official release and provide feedback that helps shape future improvements.

### How Grid Status Labs Works

When a feature is part of Grid Status Labs, it will display an Early Access badge within the application. This indicates the feature is still under development and may evolve based on user feedback.

Labs features are functional and usable, but may undergo design, performance, or capability updates over time.

### How to Access Labs

## 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.gridstatus.io/getting-started/grid-status-labs.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.
