# Create a public docs brain

Each organisation has one public docs brain. Only admins and the owner
can create it.

## Create it

1. Go to **Knowledge** and select **New public docs brain**.
2. Enter a **Name**, or keep `docs`. This is what the brain is called in
   ako. It doesn't change the site's address.
3. Select **Create brain**.

The brain opens with a home page, a **Getting started** section and the
usual `ground-truth/` and `routines/` folders. Its badge says
**public**.

If you see a **Public docs** card instead of **New public docs brain**,
it explains why you can't create one: usually that public docs aren't
switched on for your organisation yet, or that you aren't an admin.

## Where the site will be

Your site's address comes from your organisation's short name:
`https://your-org.docs.useako.com`. You'll find it under **Settings**
on the brain's publish page.

Nothing is online until someone [publishes](/public-docs/publish-your-docs).

## Keep it public-safe

Anything you write in this brain may end up on the internet. Keep
internal notes, plans, customer names and anything confidential in your
other brains.

The brain comes with an `AGENTS.md` that tells the assistant the same
thing, and that it must never publish. The assistant and routines can
write drafts here, but only a person can put them live.
