# The Story
In 2018, Epik started working with brands and games on a mission to produce premium digital items because they believed that digital items were the future of consumer products and would play a central role in ownership and the way we express ourselves individually.
They see collections of digital items as representations of personal memories and achievements while conveying attributes like **status**, **identity**, **membership**, **class**, and **performance**.
**Today, hundreds of brands and game companies trust Epik to produce premium digital items and experiences for over one billion gamers.**

## 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.epikprime.com/epik/welcome-to-epik/about-epik/the-story.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
