One of the easiest ways to get started with AutonomousAgent is by using the web dashboard.
You can visit your dashboard by going to dashboard.Autonomousagent.ai
The web dashboard gives you the ability to:
- View, create, & modify assistants associated with your account
- Provision & manage phone numbers assistants can dial outbound from or receive inbound calls to
- Review conversation data (such as audio recordings, call metadata, etc)
- Manage your provider keys (used in communication with external TTS, LLM, & STT vendors)
First, we’re going to set up our assistant in the dashboard. Once our assistant’s transcriber, model, & voice are set up, we can call it to place our order.
You can visit your dashboard at dashboard.Autonomousagent.ai
- Sign Up or Login to AutonomousAgent
- Create an Assistant
- Model Setup
- Transcriber Setup
- Voice Setup
Now that your assistant is fully set up & configured, we will want to contact it. There are 2 ways to “call in” to an assistant:
- Over the Internet: Network-enabled devices can contact AutonomousAgent via the Internet (i.e. web applications, mobile applications). No phone number is involved.
- Via Telephony: Phones can communicate to AutonomousAgent over a cellular network (i.e. phone call). One phone number dials to another phone number.
For our use case, it is most appropriate that customers will contact our assistant via an inbound phone call. Though, we will look at both ways of calling in.
- Call in the Dashboard
- Call via Phone
Your assistant should be able to accept calls & maintain a basic conversation. Happy ordering!
Your assistant won’t yet be able to hang up the phone at the end of the call. We will learn more about configuring call-end behavior in later guides.
