# Creating a simple LLM app

To create your first LLM app, you'll need 3 things:  credential, one LLM Node and one LLM Chain node.

For the sake of this example, we'll make an app that uses ChatGPT.&#x20;

### 1. Create New Chatbot

Open the main menu and click on "Chatbots" -> "Create new chatbot"

### 4. Set the credentials

Click on "Change Parameters" button. It'll open the node's details where you will search for the [credentials you've created](/getting-started/adding-credentials.md) earlier. Then **Save Node Parameters**

### 5. Add a "LLM Chain" node
