  • Prompt box — This is where you tell your AI agent how to behave during the conversation. The script defines the agent’s personality, what questions to ask, how to handle objections, and what data to collect.
  • Global settings — Additional configuration options available in the tabs on the right:
    • General — Basic agent settings
    • Voice — Choose your agent’s voice and provider
    • Call configuration — Call behavior and latency settings
    • LLM — Language model settings
    • Languages — Set the language(s) your agent speaks
    • Transcriber — Transcription settings
We’ll cover each Global Settings section in detail in a dedicated guide. For now, the goal is to get your agent live and tested as fast as possible — the prebuilt script is ready to go!
