# Agent Crews

## Docs

- [Agent Crews](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/overview.md): The brain of your AI application - the multi-node crew that handles conversation.
- [Versioning Lifecycle](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/versioning-lifecycle.md): Create, edit, publish, and go live with an agent config through the branch API. Full lifecycle in curl and Python.
- [Crew vs platform config ownership](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/config-ownership.md): What a crew build owns (LLM turn) versus what the platform owns (voice, STT, redaction, first message, timeouts). Change platform settings on the agent config; change crew settings in code and redeploy.
- [Configuration](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/llm/overview.md): Setting up the brain of your agent.
- [LLM Settings](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/llm/llm-settings.md): Configure models, parameters, and providers.
- [Prompting Guide](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/llm/prompts.md): Write prompts that make your voice agent sound natural, stay on track, and get work done.
- [Bring Your Own Model](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/llm/byom.md): Run Atoms agents with your own models.
- [Tools & Functions](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/tools/overview.md): Giving your agent the ability to take action.
- [Defining Tools](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/tools/defining-tools.md): Create functions that your agent can call.
- [Tool Execution](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/tools/executing-tools.md): Register tools and handle LLM tool calls.
- [Built-in Actions](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/tools/built-in-tools.md): SDK-provided actions for common tasks.
- [Streaming](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/patterns/streaming.md): Stream responses to minimize latency and improve user experience.
- [Interruption Handling](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/patterns/interruption-handling.md): Handle user barge-ins gracefully during agent responses.
- [State Management](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/patterns/state-management.md): Track and manage data across conversation turns.
- [Conversation Flow Design](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/patterns/conversation-flow-design.md): Structure complex conversation paths and branching logic.
- [Multi-Agent Orchestration](https://docs.smallest.ai/voice-agents/developer-guide/build/agent-crews/patterns/multi-agent-orchestration.md): Coordinate multiple specialized agents in complex workflows.
