# Creating an Assistant

## Steps

1. Go to the **Assistants** tab in the top navigation
2. Click **Create your first assistant** (or the **+** button in the dropdown if you already have one)
3. Enter a name and pick a color
4. Click **Create**

You'll enter the **setup wizard** which walks you through:

* Sources — what the assistant can search
* Q\&A Pairs — pre-defined answers for specific questions
* Behavior — personality, language, and guardrails
* Appearance — widget colors, greeting, and style
* Deploy — get your embed code

**Tip:** You can skip steps and come back to configure them later. Only the name is required to create an assistant.
{% endhint %}
