# Deploy Your Agent

> Put your AI agent everywhere your customers are — your website, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Telegram, and your online store.

Once your agent is trained, the **Deploy** page is where you connect it to the places your customers actually message you. Open your agent and go to **Deploy** in the sidebar to see every available channel.

## How deployment works

Every channel connects to the **same trained agent**. Connect as many as you like — a customer on WhatsApp and a visitor on your website both talk to the same AI, and every conversation lands in your shared **Inbox**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Train your agent first">
    Add your sources, tune its settings, and test it before going live. See [Build your first agent](/user-guides/quick-start/your-first-agent).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Deploy page">
    From your agent, click **Deploy** in the sidebar. Channels are grouped into featured channels (Chat widget, Help page) and **Integration Channels** (WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, Telegram, Email, Slack, API).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a channel">
    Click a channel card to open its setup panel and follow the steps. Most channels connect in one or two clicks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Watch conversations in the Inbox">
    Once connected, messages flow into your agent's **Inbox**, where your AI replies automatically and your team can step in anytime.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Native messaging features

On WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram, your agent isn't limited to plain text. It can:

* **Send and receive images** — customers can send a photo, and your agent can reply with product images.
* **Show a typing indicator** while it's preparing a reply, so the conversation feels natural.
* **Report delivery and read receipts**, so you know when a message was seen.

<Note>
  **Telegram** supports images and typing indicators, but Telegram does not provide delivery or read receipts — this is a platform limitation, not a ChatRos setting.
