How do I create a new bot?

Click the + button at the top of the bot list, give the bot a name, say what it does and click Create bot. Each bot gets its own instructions, memory, folder and scheduled tasks.

Create a bot

1. Click + (New bot) at the top of the bot list, next to the search button.
2. In Name, type a name, for example “Scout”. Up to 40 characters.
3. In What does it do?, describe its job in one line, for example “Watches competitors and tells me what changed”.
4. Click Create bot, or press Enter.

The new bot appears in your bot list. Click it to start chatting and tell it more about how you want the work done.

Change it later

You can change the bot’s name, job, instructions and what it may do at any time in its details. See Change a bot’s details and files.
