# Quickstart

> Publish your first assistant

## At a glance

This guide will walk you through how to deploy a simple echo assistant to [fly.io](https://fly.io/), and publish that assistant to OneChat. Our echo assistant is built with python/fastapi.

## Before you begin

Create an account on [OneChat](https://www.myonechat.com/)

## 1. Run Echo Assistant Locally

1. `git clone https://github.com/OneChat-Official/EchoAssistant.git`
2. Navigate to repo folder and run `pip install -r requirements.txt` to install dependencies
3. Run `fastapi run dev` to run the assistant locally. If it runs, we're good to move on to the next section
4. (optional) visit swagger UI and send sample requests. By default fastapi hosts swagger UI at [http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs](http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs).

## 2. Deploy Echo Assistant with fly.io

We will deploy our echo assistant with [fly.io](https://fly.io/) because it has a free tier and is easy to use. Optionally for this step you can deploy to any other hosting provider you choose.

1. Install [flyctl](https://fly.io/docs/hands-on/install-flyctl/)
2. Create an account with `fly auth signup` or login with `fly auth login`.
3. Run `fly launch` from inside your project source directory to create, configure, and (for most apps) deploy a new application.
4. If prompted, run `fly deploy` to deploy your new app (or to redeploy after changes!).
5. Note the url for your newly deployed app. It should be similar to `https://echo-assistant.fly.dev/`. This is important for the next step.

## 3. Publish Echo Assistant to OneChat

1. Sign in to [OneChat](https://www.myonechat.com/)
2. Go to **Explore Assistants > Create New assistant**
3. Fill in form to create assistant
   1. **Chat Endpoint** is the endpoint that will handle incoming messages. For us, it should be similar to `https://echo-assistant.fly.dev/chat/`
4. Click **Create** to publish your assistant.
5. All done! Now you should be able to chat with your newly published assistant!
