# Use cases Ylem is an industry-agnostic data streaming software that multiple departments inside an organization can benefit from. Therefore our functionality covers a broad variety of business use cases. We split them into three groups to simplify your access to the best practice ones you are looking for to solve your challenge:


Messaging patterns	messaging-patterns	Datamin elements-04.png
Functional use cases	functional-use-cases	Datamin elements-07.png
Industry-specific use cases	industry-specific-use-cases	Datamin elements-05.png

Many of these use cases are also available in our [library of templates](https://docs.ylem.co/pipelines/library-of-templates) in the product and you can re-use them to build your pipelines. --- # 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. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ylem.co/use-cases/use-cases.-homepage.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. 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.
