Step 16: Removing a bot you no longer need Beginner

Over time you might end up with bots you don't use. Removing them keeps your sidebar tidy and makes routing to the right bot easier. Deleting is permanent, though, so this step covers how to do it and what to check first.

1. Before you delete

Deleting a bot is permanent. It removes the bot and its chat history, and there's no archive or hide option. Before you go ahead:

• Check its routines. Open its info pane (click its name in the chat header) and look at the Routines list. Decide whether any should move to another bot.
• Save anything you need from its chat, like a summary or a link.
• Save its process as a skill if it did something well (Step 12). Skills are shared across bots.

2. Delete the bot

1. In the sidebar, right-click the bot's row.
2. Choose "Delete".
3. Confirm when asked.

Deleting is done from the sidebar only, not from Settings.

3. Consider changing it instead

If the bot is still useful but its job changed, you don't have to delete it. Open the gear in its info pane and update its name, title and description (Step 7), then tell it about its new job and ask it to forget old preferences.

4. Afterward

If other bots used to send work to the deleted one, your primary bot will route that work elsewhere. Check that another bot's description covers those tasks if you still need them done.
