# Chatbot Visibility

The ***Visibility*** setting controls who can interact with your AI chatbot. Here are the visibility options available:

### Public

Choosing this option means your chatbot can be interacted with by anyone, and it will appear in public listings and search results. This is the choice to make when you want to share your creativity and imagination with the world and want the community to interact with your chatbot.

### Private

If you want your chatbot to be your little secret, this is the option for you. A private chatbot is visible only to you. Even if you share a link to it, nobody else will be able to access or chat with your chatbot.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Note:** Even though hidden chatbots may not be visible to the general public, they are still visible to our moderators. If a chatbot violates our community guidelines, it will be removed, irrespective of its visibility status. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with our \[[community guidelines](/community-guidelines.md)] to ensure a safe and positive experience on our platform.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hiwaifu.com/product-guides/creating-chatbots/chatbot-attributes/chatbot-visibility.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
