# 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.
