Agent Configuration
Step 02Agent Configuration

Write your system prompt

The system prompt is the brain of your agent. It defines personality, tone, scope, and how it handles calls. A well-crafted prompt is the single biggest factor in agent quality.

  • Define the agent's role, business name, and persona
  • Specify what topics to handle — and what to escalate
  • Include verification steps if callers need to be authenticated
  • Set the expected tone — formal, friendly, professional
Tip: Start your prompt with "You are…" and write as if briefing a new employee. Include example phrasings for common caller intents.

Tools & Integrations
Step 03Tools Configuration

Connect tools & actions

Tools let your agent take real action during calls — checking availability, creating bookings, or fetching data via HTTP. You can create new tools or link existing ones.

  • Enter a tool name (e.g. check_availability)
  • Add a description so the AI knows when to invoke it
  • Set the HTTP endpoint URL and method in the JSON config
  • Define the parameters schema the tool accepts
  • Click Create Tool — it appears in Active Tools immediately
Tip: If you already have tools from other agents, use Link Existing to reuse them without duplicating configuration.

Link a real phone number to your agent. Once assigned, every call to that number is automatically handled by your AI — 24/7, no exceptions.

  • Select an available number from the dropdown
  • Optionally add a label (e.g. Support Line)
  • Click Add Phone Number — the webhook is auto-configured
  • Click Update Agent to save. Your agent is now live!
Tip: You can assign multiple numbers to a single agent. Manage all numbers from the Phone Numbers section in the sidebar.
