# Create Conversation

POST https://api.credal.ai/api/v0/copilots/createConversation
Content-Type: application/json

OPTIONAL. Create a new conversation with the Agent. The conversation ID can be used in the `sendMessage` endpoint. The `sendMessage` endpoint automatically creates new conversations upon first request, but calling this endpoint can simplify certain use cases where it is helpful for the application to have the conversation ID before the first message is sent.
