AI Agents can be managed as reusable ZynoTalk destinations for call flows and number routing.

Page Layout

The AI Agents table shows:

  • Extension
  • Provider
  • Model

Select an agent to edit it. Open the row context menu to edit or delete an agent.

Create An AI Agent

  1. Open Admin > ZynoTalk > AI Agents.
  2. Select New AI Agent.
  3. Enter a Name.
  4. Enter an optional Extension if the agent should be reachable as an internal destination.
  5. Set Max Session to limit how long the agent can stay on a call.
  6. Choose the Provider and Voice shown in the editor.
  7. Write the System Prompt that describes the agent's role, tone, and instructions.
  8. Enter the Greeting text the agent should speak when the call connects.
  9. Choose any allowed Capabilities.
  10. Add Transfer Targets if the agent should hand callers to people, groups, flows, or voicemail.
  11. Select Create.

Advanced Settings

Select Advanced settings only when you need to change the model, locale, or temperature. Leave these values at their defaults unless your support or implementation team gives you specific values.

Transfer Targets

Transfer targets tell the agent where it is allowed to send callers. Each target needs:

  • Name - the short name the AI model uses internally.
  • Type - Extension, Ring Group, Parking Lot, Call Flow, AI Agent, or Voicemail.
  • Destination - the actual ZynoTalk destination.
  • Description - when the agent should use that target.

When a transfer target is another AI agent, choose whether the receiving agent should Continue context or Start fresh.

Capabilities

Capabilities control what the agent can do during a call:

CapabilityAllows
