How to Set Up Your LifeBots Bot

Before You Begin

A LifeBots bot is a Second Life account that logs in and runs as an automated scripted agent. You’ll need three things:

• A separate Second Life account — Do not use your main avatar. Use a name that fits your bot’s purpose (e.g., “MyStore Greeter”). Create one here.
• Scripted agent status — You must flag the bot account as a scripted agent in your Second Life account settings. This is required by Linden Lab’s Terms of Service — without it, your bot account may be suspended. See related article
• The bot account’s username and password — The same credentials you’d use to log into the Second Life viewer.

Step-by-Step Setup

• Create a LifeBots account if you don’t already have one. Create one here.
• Log in to your LifeBots account and go to the Dashboard.
• Click “Add your first Bot Now!” (first bot) or the “+ Add Bot” button.
• Enter your bot’s Second Life credentials — the username and password of the bot account (not your main avatar).
• Choose a bot type:
  • Full Bot — All features including AI, group management, movement, voice, and addons. Best for greeters, managers, and interactive bots.
  • Lite Bot — Core features at a lower price. Best for simple presence or group notice bots.
    • Not sure? You can upgrade later by contacting support.
• Complete payment — You’ll see the price before confirming. Bots are billed monthly.
• Done! Your bot will begin logging in automatically.

After Setup

• Your bot appears on the Dashboard where you can start, stop, and configure it.
• Control it via the Dashboard or the LifeBots HUD in-world.
• Enable AI, Greeter, Waypoint Navigator, and other addons anytime from the bot’s settings.

Troubleshooting

Bot logs in but goes offline quickly	Ensure the account is not logging in at another viewer or bot system.
