Create a bot

Creating a bot takes about a minute. Pegasus opens a 3-step wizard that captures the essentials; you can fill in the rest later from the bot detail page.

Create Bot wizard step 1

Open the wizard#

From the Dashboard, click Create new chatbot (top right) or the Create New Bot card if your list is empty.

Step 1 — Identity#

Pick a name that describes the bot's purpose to your users. "HR Assistant" or "Product FAQ" is better than "Bot 1".

Step 2 — Data sources (knowledge base)#

Drag PDF, DOCX, MD, or TXT files into the upload zone. Each file must be under 20 MB. You can add more later, so it's fine to start with one or two.

Step 3 — Behavior & personality#

The system prompt steers how the bot answers. It's optional — leave it blank for a neutral assistant, or write something like:

You are a friendly HR assistant. Always reply politely and end with 😊.

Save & Train#

Click Save & Train at the bottom of step 3. Pegasus:

1. Creates the bot record.
2. Uploads your documents to its knowledge base.
3. Starts a training job automatically.

The bot enters PENDING status while the job runs, then READY when finished. You can close the wizard immediately — training continues in the background.

Plan limits#

• Free plan allows up to 2 bots.
• Pro plan allows up to 10.
• Ultra plan allows up to 50.

If you've hit the cap, the Create new chatbot button is disabled with a tooltip explaining the limit. See Bot limit reached for what to do.
