# Creating a Chatbot

> How to create, manage, and delete chatbots in FIFE.BOT.

## Dashboard Overview

When you log in to FIFE.BOT, you land on the **Chatbots** page — a grid (or list) of all your chatbots. The header shows your chatbot quota (e.g. "Chatbots 2/5" on Pro).

**View modes:**

* **Grid view** — cards with avatar, name, model badge, description, document count, and creation date
* **List view** — compact rows with the same info

Use the **search bar** to filter chatbots by name, description, or model. View mode preference is saved to your browser.

<Info>
  Free plan: **1 chatbot**. Pro: **5 chatbots**. Business: **10 chatbots**.

## Creating a New Chatbot
