> Create your Vibot account and complete the four-step onboarding wizard that connects your WhatsApp Business number.

# 1. Sign up

<Steps>

### Create your account

1. Go to [**vibot.virtuo.in**](https://vibot.virtuo.in).
2. Click **Sign up**, then enter your name, email, and a password.
3. Verify your email address via the link sent to your inbox.

You land on the dashboard automatically. Your account starts on a **Free** plan — you can explore the dashboard and configure the agent before upgrading.

### Onboarding wizard

A four-step wizard runs the first time you sign in:

1. **Phone** — your WhatsApp number, in international format (e.g. `+91…`).
2. **WhatsApp OTP** — a 6-digit code arrives on WhatsApp from the Virtuo platform account. The code expires in 5 minutes; if it doesn't arrive within ~30 seconds, click **Resend code**.
3. **Organisation + Industry** — your business name and an industry from the dropdown (Restaurant, E-commerce, Healthcare, Real Estate, Education, Services, Other). "Other" reveals a free-text field.
4. **Marketing consent** — opt-in for product updates from Virtuo (optional).

Click **Finish** to land on the dashboard.

<Callout type="info">
The onboarding banner ("Verify your WhatsApp number") goes away only after **both** the phone is verified **and** the profile is complete. If it's still showing after step 4, refresh the page.
