# Creating an Idea

<figure><img src="/files/nssdWuNl4whC4dH5YZAL" alt=""><figcaption><p>It's easy to create an Idea on Updraft</p></figcaption></figure>

If you have an Idea that no one has created yet, feel free to create it yourself.

Choose an amount of UPD to deposit; the more you deposit, the more you stand to earn. You can withdraw 99% of your deposit (1% acts as anti-spam protection and goes to fund the faucet which helps people get started using Updraft.)

You'll earn funder rewards on your deposit, just like you would supporting someone else's Idea.

To increase your chance of earning money, consider joining a [campaign](/updraft/advanced-topics/campaigns.md) by adding certain tags to your Ideas. Campaign creators commit to airdrop UPD on Ideas that use their tags. You can select a campaign to automatically add its tags. Otherwise, you can use any tags you want to help people find your Idea.

# 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 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://guide.updraft.fund/updraft/basics/creating-an-idea.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.
