# Creating a Flow

When creating your AI bot, flows are the most important part of the design process.

![Creating a Flow](https://1921435596-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MNY8UdfF7E85IT7CcK0%2F-MNeivkVo2esLEpfkRZC%2F-MNginbI96TTiKCY_f70%2FScreen%20Shot%202020-12-04%20at%2010.50.07%20AM.png?alt=media\&token=9980f7e2-8507-4eda-a15d-da8408336f12)

While creating a new flow, we have 4 fields: **Flow Name, User Says, Data Collectors** and **Responses**

#### **Flow Name**

First, you need to give your flow a name.

#### **User Says**

Possible user utterances to train the AI bot; when a similar user input is received, these intents will be detected.

#### **Data Collectors**

Data Collectors are values needed from user when intent is detected. Add Data Collectors to your flow to get desired values from user before sending your bot responses.
