# Simple or Advanced

> Two ways to build the same assistant: a short guided setup, and the full builder with every setting.

Every assistant can be opened in two editors. The **Simple** / **Advanced** switch sits at the top
of the assistant page, and you can move between them whenever you like.

  <Card title="Simple" icon="wand-magic-sparkles">
    A guided setup, then one page that shows what your assistant does, what it sounds like and what
    it is connected to. Each row has a **Change** button.

    **Best for:** getting a working assistant quickly, and day-to-day changes.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Advanced" icon="sliders">
    The full builder: every setting, grouped into sections in a sidebar, with version history and
    an advisor.

    **Best for:** tuning voice and timing, tools, variables, webhooks and the web widget.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Nothing is lost either way

There is one assistant underneath both editors. An assistant built in Simple opens fully in
Advanced, with every setting the guided setup filled in for you. Changes made in Advanced show up in
Simple straight away.

## Which one you land on

The switch is remembered. Whichever half you pick becomes the editor you land on the next time you
open an assistant, until you switch again. You can also set it in your profile.

## Where each one starts

* **New Assistant** opens the guided Simple setup
* The dropdown next to that button offers the **Advanced form**, which walks the same sections as
  the builder and ends in **Create assistant**

<Tip>
  If you are new to the platform, start in Simple. You are not choosing a smaller product — it is the
  same assistant, with fewer decisions in front of you.
