Build Your First Agent
Pick a template, fill in your details, and talk to your agent. No prompt writing needed to get started.
Open Create Agent
From your dashboard, click the green Create Agent button in the top right.

Choose Start with Template
Select Start with Template, then choose Single Prompt as your agent type.

Pick a Template
Browse the template gallery and pick one close to your use case. Use Filter By to narrow by industry, direction (inbound or outbound), or agent type. Click a template, then hit Create.

Customize Your Template
The editor opens with a prompt, voice, and structure already filled in.

Replace the placeholders with your own details:
- Company name and details. Swap in your actual business name
- Policies and rules. Update return windows, hours, pricing, and similar details
- Tone. Adjust the wording to match your brand
Keep the section headers as they are. They keep both you and the AI organized, even after you change the content.
Test Your Agent
Click Test Agent in the top right to start a test call. You can test three ways:
- Web Call. Talk to your agent through your browser microphone
- Telephony Call. Enter a phone number and get a call from your agent
- Chat. Have a text conversation with your agent

Try a few scenarios: ask a normal question, ask something unexpected, and interrupt mid-response. Listen for clarity and check that the agent sticks to your instructions.
You Built a Voice Agent
Here’s what happens when someone calls:
- Pulse transcribes their speech in 64ms
- Your prompt tells the AI how to respond
- Lightning speaks the response in 175ms
Total: under 800ms per turn.
