# Methods Our next step would be to setup methods. Methods basically is constructing how the app is going to handle the user requests. Depending upon the type of the data source , e.g. Gen AI, Twilio data source, internal content etc., there are different operations that can be carried out. For instance, with Twilio Data source, the user might be able to make calls, send SMS etc., but with Gen AI data source, the user might be able to get response to queries in chat. Such different operations are termed as 'Request Types'. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
