# What is an RCS Bot?

An **RCS Bot** (also called an RCS agent) is your verified sender identity on RCS. It is what recipients see at the top of the conversation: your bot name, logo, banner, colour and a short description, along with your contact details and links to your privacy policy and terms.

Each bot is:

- Linked to one of your **brands**.
- Registered for a **region** (India or Rest of World) and a **message type** (Promotional, OTP, Transactional or Multi-Use).
- Launched on the **carriers** you select.

You can register more than one bot, for example one for OTPs and another for promotions. Templates always belong to a specific bot, and only approved bots can be used on the **Send RCS** screen.

The bot list under **RCS > RCS Bots** shows each bot's logo, name, status, linked brand, region, type and number of active templates.
