### **Creating a Chat Agent**

A chat agent in Epsilla is designed to answer questions and have conversation based on your knowledge base. Here's a step-by-step guide to setting up your chatbot:

**Start a New Application**

Choose the **Chatbot** option.

**Define Your Chatbot**

Enter the **Chatbot Name**: This is the name that will identify your bot within the project.

Add a **Description**: Provide a brief description of your bot’s purpose. For instance, "A legal research assistant for human rights cases."

**Customize the Chatbot Icon**

You can further personalize your chatbot by uploading a custom **Chatbot Icon**. Supported file types include PNG, JPG, and GIF.
