Set up an AI agent that makes outbound calls.
Steps
Start from My Agents
An outbound agent makes calls for you — sales outreach, follow-ups, reminders. Let's build one. From My Agents, open the Create Agent menu.
Choose Outbound
Choose Outbound to create a calling agent.
Pick a starting point
You can start from scratch, copy an existing agent, use a template, or let AI draft one. We'll start from scratch.
Name your agent
Give the agent a name so you can find it later.
Choose a voice
Open the Voice Selection section and pick the voice your agent will use. You can preview each one, then click to select it.
The opening line
Open the Prompt section. First, set the first sentence — the greeting your agent opens every call with.
The agent's instructions
Then, in the prompt, describe the agent's goal and how it should behave. This is the brain of your agent.
Numbers to dial from
Under Phone Numbers, choose which of your numbers this agent dials out from.
Fine-tune the call
Call Settings let you tune the model, language, speaking speed, and more.
Create the agent
When everything looks good, click Create Agent — and your outbound agent is ready to start calling.
