111 [[image:Public.Applications.Desktop.User-Manual-Desktop4.WebHome@icons-userlist.svg||height="20"]] **Lists** are used to quickly and easily create a new chat with a predefined group of people in Teamwire, similar to a mailing list. Meaning, you can create multiple chats with the same list(s) based on different topics or projects.
112
113 Lists are contact groups that you created yourself and are available in your directory only. Their users will not be notified of being part of your list. Think of lists as a kind of "private circles".
114
115 When a chat is created, the list is parsed into its individual users which are added as independent chat participants. Unlike [[circles>>doc:||anchor="03-circles"]], they will be directly listed in the list of chat members.
116
117 Your lists are synchronised to all devices you have logged in with your Teamwire account.

177 In your directory, you will find all circles you are a member of yourself. You can use them when creating a chat or add them to an existing group conversation at a later time.
178

They are always labelled with the suffix //Bot// so that users know that they are not talking to a real person.
199
200 For example, the RSS Bot, the WhatsApp Bot, a Web Chat Widget Bot, even a Barcode Scanner or a Flic Button Bot are just a few examples of useful and popular bots. [[In this article>>doc:Customer.Integrations.Teamwire-SDK.WebHome]] you can find more information and further examples of bots.
