| A properly set up bot is capable of handling both invites and ejects for groups - either on rentals (for CasperLet) or product purchase (for CasperVend; both inworld and Marketplace) and if you choose to use a "personal bot" from SmartBots, the bot is also capable of handling bot-based delivery, ideal for products that are no-copy. (Inventory drops from scripted gadgets simply vanish, never to be seen again, if accidentally declined. If an item is sent from an avatar, it at least goes to the trashcan first when it's accidentally declined.)

| === Terminology ===
| |
| ---- | | ---- |
| : '''Bot:''' A unattended avatar account, used for automatic programmed activities or responses
| | {| class="wikitable" |
| : '''Hosted Service:''' You pay a third party to host the bot for you. Generally, you pay every week, and they are responsible for making sure everything is running.
| | |- |
| : '''Self-Hosted:''' You need to host the bot yourself, on your own computer. If you don't keep a computer on 24/7 already, then self-hosting is probably not for you.

| | | valign="top" | Log in to CasperLet, go to the '''[https://let.casperdns.com/groups.php Group Bots]''' page and click the '''"Add New"''' button. <br /><br />(If you already have existing bots set up, you will see a list of bots under the "Add New" button - if you wish to edit an existing bot configuration, click the "Edit" button next to the name of the bot you want to edit instead.) |
| SmartBots is a third party bot hosting service that also allows you the option to have your own bot account hosted by them (so you don't have to run your computer 24/7 for your bot).

| | |- |
| :* For information on pricing, see the '''[http://www.mysmartbots.com/docs/Prices SmartBots price list]'''.
| | | valign="top" |You will be presented with information about:<ol><li> The bot type you've chosen </li> <li>Where to purchase the bot in question (in case you don't have it already).</li></ol> |
| :* The two types of SmartBot bots used with CasperTech are the '''group inviter''' bot and the '''personal bot'''.

| | | valign="top" | If you have selected '''Thoys bot''' you'll see this screen. Remember that: <br /><ol><li>'''Label''' = Display name of that bot as you want it to appear in your bots list.</li></ol><br />Once you are done entering in setup information, click the "Next" button. If you've missed information that is required, there will be a popup screen to tell you what you're missing when you click "Next". |

| To get your bot to sit on an object (pose stand, chair, etc.) follow the instructions on the '''[http://www.smartbots2life.com/docs/Sit_Second_Life_bot_on_selected_object SmartBots site]'''. These instructions are originally set up for SmartBots, but '''might''' work for other bots or metabolt as well.
| | |- |
| | | | valign="top" | Now you will arrive at the test screen. Click the blue '''"Test Now"''' button to begin testing the configuration. |
| You will need the UUID of the object you want your bot to sit on. In Firestorm, you will see the object's UUID if you right-click then select "Edit". If you're using any other viewer, you can simply copy this script into a script file in your object, and once the script saves, it will tell you the UUID of the object in local chat (just open up your chat buffer and look for yellow text):

| llOwnerSay("This object's UUID is: " + (string)llGetKey());
| | |- |
| }
| | | valign="top" | If you have an error in your bot configuration, you'll get an additonal popup with the error message. <br /> <br />This is a '''sample''' of what the error message popup will say - there will be different errors depending on the configuration issue, and the selected bot. |
| }

| | | |- |
| If you re-rez your object, it will get a '''new''' UUID, so you will need to use this script again to make sure your bot is up to date.
| | | valign="top" | If the test of your configuration was a success, you will see this message. |

| = '''<span style="color:#00528c">Self-Hosted</span>''' = | | |- |
| In order for self-hosted bots to be used, they must be running 24/7 on a machine that YOU control.
| | | valign="top" | Clicking '''"OK"''' on the Success screen will automatically take you back to the main bots page, with your newly configured bot appearing in the list. <br /><br /> An '''example''' of a list of bots may be seen in this image. |

| |
| | |
| PikkuBots is a bot system that allows you to download and self-host one or more bots, or they can host the bot for you. Pikku has 49 commands available for the "lite" version, and over 500 commands available for the "premium" version, whether or not you self-host or have them host a bot for you. Be aware that while PikkuBot is very powerful in features, it is potentially very complicated to get fully set up. If you get "lost" easily, consider METAbolt (if you want to self-host) or SmartBots (if you want to have someone else host the bot) instead.

| === PikkuBot bug === | |
| ----
| |
| :* Your PikkuBot can '''NOT''' be on the same sim as '''ANY''' of your vendors, OR any neighbouring regions right next door to a region with your vendors, or group invites will not work. If you move your bot to another region, you may need to wait up to 2 minutes before invites will start working.
| |
| | |
| This is due to Pikkubot not understanding messages delivered with llRegionSayTo.
