Create Your First Voice Agent
Go from sign-up to a speaking agent in a few minutes.
Before you begin
- Use a modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari).
- Be ready to allow microphone access.
- Have your website’s main URL handy.
What this does
You’ll use the Quickstart Wizard to teach your agent from your website, choose a role (personality), and test it in the preview. The wizard automatically picks a good starting point for the first demo.
Use the Quickstart Wizard (recommended)
Sign in
- A new voice agent is created for you automatically.
- The “Voice Agent Quickstart” wizard opens. You can also launch it later when you create a new agent from Overview.
Add Knowledge (Website URL)
- Enter your main website URL (for example: https://example.com).
- We do a quick discovery to find pages and calculate how many pages can be added based on your plan.
- Analysis starts in the background. Click Next.
Notes:
- Your current plan headroom is applied (pages per agent and monthly rate limits).
- If you’ve reached your plan limits, you’ll be asked to upgrade or remove sources before continuing.
Choose a Role
- Pick a role (personality) to set tone and style.
- While the “Analyzing your website… (~5–10s)” banner is visible, roles load and analysis completes.
- Next becomes available when both are true: a role is selected and website analysis is ready.
Learning in Progress
- See live progress as pages are ingested into the Knowledge Base.
- Next becomes available automatically when ingestion finishes.
Go to Preview
- Click Go to Preview to open the Preview Voice Agent section.
- The wizard selects a homepage‑like summary as Starting Knowledge and applies it to your agent so you can test immediately.
- Click the voice button, allow microphone access, and start talking.
Manual setup (without the wizard)
- Train Voice Agent
- Go to Train Voice Agent and choose one of:
- Add Entire Website (Discovery + Ingestion)
- Add Single Webpages (one URL at a time)
- Add PDF
- Go to Train Voice Agent and choose one of:
- Configure Voice Agent
- Choose a role (personality).
- Starting Knowledge:
- Click Use Manual Instructions to type your own, or
- In Manage Knowledge Base, pick a summarized page and choose Use as starting knowledge.
- (Optional) Adjust Greeting Instructions.
- Preview Voice Agent
- Open Preview Voice Agent, click the voice button, and allow microphone access.
What you should see
- Discovery/ingestion progress, then new sources appear with status (processing → ready).
- The agent greets you and uses your content once sources are ready.
- In preview, the starting knowledge reflects the homepage summary chosen by the wizard (you can change this later).
Tips
- Use a public site (no login) for crawling.
- Start with your main URL; large sites can take longer—begin with key pages (FAQ, services, pricing).
- You can cancel a running crawl and delete sources later.
- Roles help set tone; pick the closest match and refine after testing.
Troubleshooting
- “You have reached your plan limits…”
- You’ve hit your per‑agent or monthly limits. Remove older sources or upgrade your plan, then try again. See also: Manage knowledge sources.
- “Analyzing your website…” never clears
- Check your connection and try again. If it fails, restart the wizard and re‑enter the URL.
- Back button disabled
- Back is disabled after analysis has started to keep limits and job state consistent.
- No microphone prompt or it’s blocked
- Check your browser site permissions.
- No audio or no reply
- See “Troubleshooting › No audio or response.”
- Agent answers don’t reflect your content
- Confirm sources show “ready.” Re‑crawl or re‑upload if content changed.
Next steps
- Go Live › Configure allowed domains.
- Go Live › Choose platform + get the code (HTML, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Lovable).
- Keep teaching your agent in Train Voice Agent: Add Entire Website, Add Single Webpages, Add PDF.
- Create more agents for sales and support (see: Using › Use Multiple Voice Agents).
