Install a bot from the Marketplace

Open Marketplace in the left rail, pick a bot, and click Get it free or buy it, then install it. Every installed bot is added as a new bot in your Bots folder, so it never changes the bots you already have.

Find a bot

1. In the left rail, click Marketplace (Ready-made bots to install).
2. Stay on the Browse tab. Type in Search bots or click a category chip. All bots shows everything.
3. Click a bot to open its page. It shows what the bot does, real sample outputs, a sample conversation, the tools it needs and what it asks before it runs.

Get a free bot

1. On the bot’s page, click Get it free.
2. The bot installs right away and appears in your bot list.

If you are not signed in, the button reads Sign in to get it (or Sign in to buy for a paid bot) and takes you to Settings > Account. Purchases belong to your Locul account, so you can install them on any computer you sign in on.

Buy a paid bot

Paid bots are a one-time payment, not a subscription. The price is shown on the bot’s page.

1. On the bot’s page, click Buy for, followed by the price.
2. Finish paying in the browser window that opens.
3. Go back to Locul. The page updates by itself and says It’s yours. If it has not updated yet, click I have paid, check now.
4. Click Install, followed by the bot’s name, to copy it into your Bots folder.
5. Click Open, followed by the bot’s name, to start chatting with it.

If a bot shows Coming soon, it cannot be bought yet.

Set it up

Most bots ask their setup questions in the chat the first time you use them. Check What it needs on the bot’s page for accounts you may need to connect first, and see Connect apps your bots can use.

Update a bot you own

When the seller releases a new version, the bot’s page shows Update to the new version. Click Update. Your memory, settings, routines and anything you made stay as they are. If you edited one of the bot’s files, your copy is kept in an update-backups folder.

See the bots you own

Open Marketplace and click the Owned tab. Each row shows when you bought it, with Open or Install. Use Install to add a bot you own on another computer.

Refund a paid bot

Every paid bot can be refunded in one click for a short window after you buy it. The bot’s page and the Owned tab show how much time is left.

1. Click Refund on the bot’s page or in the Owned tab.
2. Confirm. The full amount goes back to your card and the bot is removed.

After the window closes, the Refund button no longer shows.

Troubleshooting

• The page still says to finish paying. Click I have paid, check now. Make sure Locul is signed in with the same account you bought with.
• I can’t see a bot I bought. Sign in with the email you bought with, then open the Owned tab.
• Still stuck? Email [email protected] with the bot’s name.
