# How to build a Knowledge Bot

Welcome to the Builder’s Guide. This section will walk you through what a **Knowledgebot** is, how it works, and the different ways you can create one in Blockbrain.

Creating a Knowledgebot is your first step toward building an AI-powered assistant tailored to your specific needs. It transforms your files, data, and documentation into an intelligent system that can answer questions, perform tasks, and support your team’s day-to-day operations.

Please note that not all steps are required for a quick bot setup. \
Specifically, steps 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 are optional and delve deeper into the details. \
These steps can be configured at a later time if needed. \
For a quick bot setup, simply follow steps 0, 1, 2, 7, 8, and 10.

## Ways to Build a Knowledgebot

There are two main ways to create a Knowledgebot in Blockbrain:

### 1. Dashboard

If you're building a bot for personal (or testing) purposes, you can create one directly from your **Dashboard**. Bots created this way are private by default and not shared across your workspace.

To get started, click the **+ Add a Bot** button on your dashboard. From there, you can either add an existing bot or create a new Knowledgebot from scratch.

Use the **Bot Creator** to build bots for team-wide use. This allows you to configure sharing settings, add workflows, attach databases, and collaborate with others from the start.
