From an empty bot to a finished setup — in a few steps.
You set up your chatbot in the classic form: name, branding, greeting and system prompt. After that you add knowledge in the dashboard — no code, no prompt engineering.
Three steps, one clear workflow.
No plugin, no wizard with required fields. You work at your own pace and jump between the steps — everything syncs back to the dashboard automatically.
- 1. Basics
Set name, address and bot type.
You choose a language or coding chatbot, pick a name and slug, and decide which subdomain the bot will use.
- 2. Sources
Hook up a PDF, URL or a marketplace pack.
You hook up your knowledge sources via upload or a website address. If you are missing content, you activate a ready-made pack — the bot is useful right away.
- 3. Live look
Set branding and greeting in the form.
You enter color, greeting and system prompt yourself. Logo and further branding details come afterwards in the bot dashboard.
Three steps, one form.
You enter the core data yourself. The technical setup happens in the background — without you touching code or configs:
- The system prompt stays yours. You write the system prompt yourself in the form and can change it any time in the dashboard. There is no hidden generator that overwrites your wording.
- Indexing plan. Each source is checked for size, format and language. PDFs are chunked, URLs are crawled. Embeddings land in a tenant-isolated vector store.
- Branding pipeline. A logo upload automatically generates favicon sets, the color picker writes CSS variables, and the greeting is rendered together with your bot style — no manual build, no reload.
Typical use cases we see every day.
Solo founder who wants to go live fast
Instead of building a SaaS stack: connect your website, pick a branding color, done. The bot subdomain is up in 4 minutes.
Coach with course material
Upload PDFs and scripts, zep reads the module order automatically and answers learner questions with chapter references.
Online shop without a dev team
Shipping policy as a URL, FAQ page as a source. You set style and greeting in the form — the service bot is then ready to start.
Club or community
Forum export plus Discord server. zep becomes the knowledge anchor that gives new members quick answers instead of long threads.
Marketplace quick start
No data of your own? Activate a travel pack, coaching pack or coding pack — you build your style around it, without an empty start.
Multi-bot setup
Pro user with up to five bot personas: you create each bot in the form and then swap or share the knowledge base. Branding stays consistent per bot.
FAQ.
How do I create a bot?
Through the classic form in onboarding: choose the bot type, set name and slug, enter branding and system prompt. After that you add knowledge in the dashboard or in Training.
Can I change the system prompt later?
Yes. Everything you enter in the form can be adjusted any time in the bot dashboard — including prompt, greeting and branding.
How many bots can I create?
14-day trial: one bot. Starter: 3 bots, Pro: 5, Business: 10. Each bot has its own knowledge sources, style and URL.
When is the bot ready to start?
As soon as name, branding and prompt are set, the bot exists. For good answers you then upload PDFs or a website as knowledge.
Start setup — in a few steps.
The 14-day trial is enough for your first bot — no credit card. Name, branding and prompt are enough to start; knowledge comes afterwards.
