# What Can Stellar AIO Do?

An introduction to Stellar 4.0, its tools, and the help available to members.

**Stellar AIO** helps automate shopping tasks on supported retailers. A **task** is a set of instructions you create for a retailer, such as watching a product or attempting checkout when the required conditions are met.

Members use Stellar for products such as electronics, collectibles, trading cards, toys and household goods. Available retailers and task modes can change, so begin with the retailer’s current guide.

### What you can do in Stellar 4.0

* **Organize tasks:** Create task groups, choose the retailer and mode, and start, stop or edit tasks from the Tasks tab.
* **Save your setup:** Manage checkout profiles, proxy groups and retailer accounts so you can choose them when creating tasks.
* **Handle retailer requirements:** Set up captcha harvesters, Shape Harvesters or IMAP when the retailer’s guide requires them. Features and setup vary by retailer.
* **Review results:** Use the Dashboard to review recorded checkouts, declines and spending.
* **Manage tasks from your phone:** The Mobile Companion App supports iOS and Android and lets you create, edit, start and stop tasks remotely. Stellar must remain open and connected on your computer or server.

### Help while you learn

Members have access to written guides, video tutorials, livestream walkthroughs, an active Discord community and staff support. If a video shows the older interface, follow the updated written guide for 4.0 controls.

* Ask general setup questions in **#questions**.
* Open a **Support Ticket in #open-ticket** for help with a specific problem.
* Join the free weekly group calls, or check the [support guide](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/getting-started-with-stellaraio/support-need-help) for current 1:1 coaching options and booking details.

### Set realistic expectations

Stellar is a tool, not a guarantee of a checkout or resale profit. Product availability, retailer checks, your setup and other shoppers can affect results. Some retailers require additional services such as proxies or captcha providers.

Updates include fixes and changes to retailer modules. Read **#change-log** and the relevant retailer guide before a release, rather than assuming every mode or setting works the same way across sites.

### Where to start

Follow [Getting Started with Stellar AIO](https://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar), then choose one retailer and work through its guide. Learn a small setup first before increasing the number of tasks.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://guides.stellaraio.com/stellar/general-stellaraio-faq/why-choose-stellaraio.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.
