Creating and Editing an AI Assistant
Step-by-step guide on how to create, configure, and modify your AI assistants for both inbound and outbound calls
On this page
Ready to set up your first AI assistant? Follow these steps:
1. Go to "Assistants"
In your VoxLink.ai dashboard, find the Assistants page (sometimes labeled "AI Assistants" or similar).
2. Click "Create New Assistant"
- Choose Inbound if you want it to answer incoming calls.
- Choose Outbound if it's for campaigns calling out to leads/customers.
3. Fill Out Basic Info
- Assistant Name: Internal label, e.g. "Support Bot" or "Sales Bot."
- System Prompt: Outline the assistant's role, tone, and key instructions.
- Initial Message: The first line the AI will speak (inbound calls usually need a quick greeting).
4. Language & Voice
- Select a Voice from the built-in library, or pick a cloned voice if you've created one.
- (Optional) Configure speech speed, filler usage, or "voice activity detection" if you need specialized settings.
5. Tools & Functions
- Add or remove items like transfer call, end call, or appointment scheduling (more in Tools & Functions).
6. Save & Test
- Click Save and your assistant is ready!
- For inbound, you'll need to assign a phone number.
- For outbound, attach the assistant to a campaign or test with your own phone number.
Editing an Assistant
- Return to Assistants in the dashboard.
- Click on the assistant name.
- Adjust prompts, voice, or add new tools—then Save.
Tip: Always test your changes by calling the assistant or running a small outbound campaign to confirm it behaves as expected.
