An agent is a configured voice agent that is bound to a phone number. Everything that controls a call – behavior, language, connections – hangs off the agent.

Agent overview

The agent list shows all agents of your tenant with their publication status (active live version or “no version yet”). From here you create new agents or delete existing ones. Open the list via Agents in the sidebar.

Create a new agent

Click the New agent card. The agent wizard guides you through the basic configuration in five steps. Only the name is required – all other settings are optional and can be adjusted later.
Agent wizard – basic settings step

Step 1 of the agent wizard: basic settings with name, description and phone number.

1

Basic settings

Name and description of the agent as well as the phone number at which it is reachable. The name must be unique; the phone number must be registered with our provider.
2

Base instructions

The fundamental instruction to the agent: system role (who it is and how it communicates), global rules for all conversations and critical rules with the highest priority. How to word these fields well is shown in the prompting guide.
3

Call parameters

Time limits of the conversation: maximum wait time for a user input and maximum call duration. Both are unlimited by default and are enabled via a toggle.
4

AI model parameters

Voice, transcription language, noise suppression and barge-in (whether the caller may interrupt the agent).
5

Connectors

Optional connection to your business systems. Available connectors are on the right, activated ones on the left. Details in the chapter Set up connectors. To finish, save the agent with Create.
After Create, the new agent appears in the list – initially without a live version and without a phone number. From the card you open the draft (flow editor), the versions or the settings.

Versions and going live

An agent works with versions of its flow:
  • You edit the draft.
  • On publishing, the draft is validated and stored as an immutable, numbered version.
  • You activate a version as the live version. New calls use it; ongoing calls stay on their version.
  • From a version you can reopen an editable draft at any time.
More on this in the chapter Build conversation flows.
