Quickstart
Build, test, and deploy your first AI agent.
It’s easy to build an AI agent on Botpress in just a few minutes, regardless of your level of development experience.
By the end of this guide, you’ll have a bot that:
- Uses AI to respond to messages
- Aligns with your branding
- Has a unique, shareable link
Step 1: Build your bot
If you’d prefer to set your bot up from scratch, hit Skip and head over to the tutorial—we’ll show you how to start building with Botpress Studio.
Step 2: Fine-tune your bot (Optional)
After completing the setup process, we’ll show you a preview of your bot, trained on your sources and styled to match to your brand. Try chatting with your bot—you may want to keep it as-is!
If you need to fine-tune anything, check out the resources below:
Appearance and style
The preview we show you is built using Webchat, Botpress’ custom front-end. If you want to customize your bot’s appearance and style, you can configure its Webchat settings:

Behaviour
After completing the setup process, you might realize you need to fine-tune your bot’s behaviour. Maybe you forgot to provide a certain knowledge source, or want to tweak its instructions.
You can do this with Botpress Studio, our agent-building platform. Check out Studio concepts to learn more about them, or start from scratch with the tutorial:
