# AI Character
### Signing up
Before you can get started you will need a RumbleBot account that is linked to your Rumble channel. This only takes a few minutes and is a straightforward process. [Guide](/creating-an-account.md).
### Configuring the AI character
Navigate to the "AI Character" page on the dashboard. Here, you will be able to enable the feature, configure permissions, and select the persona of the AI character. You can choose from one of several preconfigured persona, or you can enter your own persona to determine how the bot will behave. Restricting this feature to paying viewers is an extremely effective way to gain more supporters and subscribers.
Once you have configured it press "Save". It will be available in your chat within 1-2 minutes, or next time you go live.
### Interacting with the AI character
To interact with the character simply type `@therumblebot (your message)`. The bot will respond to this message as the persona you selected.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.rumble.bot/chat-bot/ai-character.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
