# Deploy your Virtual Agent

**Cognigy Support**  
December 9, 2024

**Make your Virtual Agent publicly available!**  
Until now, your Virtual Agent (VA) only lives in Cognigy.AI. To interact with your Virtual Agent outside the Interaction Panel, let's deploy it: Adding one or more Endpoints makes it accessible to end-users on your channels of choice. [Learn more about Endpoints in our documentation.](https://docs.cognigy.com/ai/endpoints/overview/)

#### #1 Create new Endpoint
Go to "Deploy" in the sidebar and select **"Endpoints".** Click "New Endpoint", give it a name such as "Web" and select "Webchat" as Endpoint Type. A webchat is an easy way to embed conversational experiences in any browser-based UI. Select your Main Flow, which the Endpoint starts to execute with (here: "Flow 1"). Save it.

#### #2 Open your Endpoint in browser
Open your Endpoint in a browser by clicking "Open Webchat". **Note that this VA is now out in the world: You can share the link to show your achievements!**

Your browser does not support this video.  
Progress

**#DONE!** **[Congratulations, you just deployed your first Virtual Agent! Let's take the next journey!](https://support.cognigy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014776879)**
