# Introduction

> Understand what an assistant is in homie and how to test, publish, monitor, and configure it.

An assistant is a configurable chatbot you embed on your store. Each assistant has its own appearance, tone, knowledge, and behavior, so you can run one assistant per brand, storefront, or use case. You manage all assistants from the **Assistants** area of the [homie platform](https://app.yourhomie.ai), and when you open one, everything below belongs to that assistant.
