How do I add an AI bot?
You add an AI bot in X Virtual Assistants by creating one with a name and instructions, or by starting from a gallery bot XVA writes, and that step is not open yet.
How do I make a new bot?
How it works calls a bot a saved assistant for one job. You give it a name, a picture or initials, a short description, and instructions for its purpose, tone and rules. You also choose a level, or an exact model from a list.
The account that holds the bot does not exist for the public yet. The home page says XVA is not open for an account or a payment. This page describes the published plan. It does not open an account.
Can I start from a bot that already exists?
Yes, from the gallery XVA writes itself. The home page says XVA will open with a small gallery, and that you can use a bot as it is or copy one and change it. Names it gives include Writing Partner, Email Drafter, Research Assistant and Tutor.
That is not the same as importing a bot you built on another company's site. The public pages do not describe an import.
Can I share a bot by link?
Not at launch. How it works says bots and chats are private to your account, and that there is no public sharing at launch. Sharing a bot by link is under 'Planned for later'.
Team accounts with a shared balance are on that same later list. They are not part of the launch description.
Can I connect mail, files or a calendar when I add the bot?
Not on day one. How it works lists Gmail, Drive and Calendar connections under 'Planned for later', next to image generation and a code runner. Your own files for the bot are a different step, and the build guide covers those.
Adding a bot, in the text that is public today, is the name, the instructions, the level and the optional files. It is not a connection to the rest of your software.
