# Create an assistant (/getting-started/create-an-assistant)



Assistants are managed from the dashboard, which is the first screen you see when
you open the console.

## Create a new assistant [#create-a-new-assistant]

1. Open the dashboard. It lists every assistant in your organization as a card.
2. Select **Create New Assistant**.
3. Enter a **Title**. This is the internal name you will recognize in the list.
4. Enter a **Description** that explains what the assistant is for.
5. Confirm to create it. The assistant opens in its editor, ready to configure.

A new assistant starts empty. It becomes useful as soon as you add
[knowledge](/knowledge) and set how it [replies](/assistants/general-settings).

## Find an assistant [#find-an-assistant]

Use the **Search assistants** box at the top of the dashboard to filter the list
by name. Each card shows the assistant icon, its name, a copyable identifier, and
its description.

## Duplicate an assistant [#duplicate-an-assistant]

Duplicating is the fastest way to reuse a setup you like.

1. On an assistant card, open the actions menu.
2. Select **Duplicate assistant**.

The copy includes the configuration and the flows of the original. Knowledge is
not copied, so the new assistant starts with its own empty knowledge.

## Delete an assistant [#delete-an-assistant]

1. On an assistant card, open the actions menu.
2. Select **Delete assistant** and confirm.

Deleting an assistant removes its configuration. Do this only when you are sure
the assistant is no longer needed.

## The assistant identifier [#the-assistant-identifier]

Every assistant has an identifier shown on its card and in the editor. You use
this identifier when you embed the assistant on your website, so keep it handy
when you reach the [Publishing](/publishing) step. You can copy it with one
click wherever it appears.
