Assistants Quickstart

Get your first voice assistant running and place a call in minutes. In this quickstart you will:
  • Create a voice assistant with a simple prompt
  • Attach a phone number
  • Make your first call
  • (Optional) Add tools so the assistant can perform real actions

Prerequisites


1. Create an assistant

  1. Open the dashboard
    Go to Dashboard → Agents and click Create Assistant.
  2. Add a system prompt
    Define how the assistant behaves with a short, clear prompt, for example:
    You are a friendly phone support assistant.
    Greet the caller and offer help.
    Keep responses under 40 words.
    
  3. Save
    Click Save to create the assistant.

2. Add a Twilio phone number

  1. Open Dashboard → Phone Numbers and click Create Phone Number.
  2. Enter:
    • Phone number
    • Twilio Account SID
    • Twilio Auth Token (from your Twilio Console)
  3. Save the configuration.

3. Make your first call

When the assistant and phone number are set up:
  • Call the Twilio number you added, or
  • Use Start Call from the agent page in the dashboard.

Tip: You can later add tools and integrations so the assistant can perform real actions — for example booking appointments, sending emails, or querying your CRM.
