Continuing the discussion from [Setting up the parameters of the Simplebot](https://support.delta.chat/t/setting-up-the-parameters-of-the-simplebot/2469/4):

Can someone instruct me how to change the Avatar and Name of my Simplebot instance? I see that it can be done, but I’m not sure how to actually do it.

hi @axe, use `simplebot --help` to see all the available options, there you will find that you can use:

`simplebot set_name "My Funny Bot"`

and to set avatar:

`simplebot set_avatar ~/images/funny-bot.jpg`

to set the bot signature/status/bio:

`simplebot set_status "hi, I am a bot, send me /help for more info"`

to change arbitrary low-level delta chat settings:

`simplebot set_config delete_server_after 1`

(the above command sets the messages auto-deletion from server/INBOX to “immediately”, use `simplebot set_config` without any parameter to see all available DC-core settings to tweak but use with care)

**NOTE** : we have a “bot developers” anonymous super group where people ask stuff about bots, since I am most of the time in Delta Chat and not much in any other site on internet, I recommend you to join there as well, check [Contribute - Delta Chat](https://delta.chat/en/contribute) there you can find the super-groups-bot address and instructions on how to get the list of super groups and channels
