Overview

Prompts in our system serve as essential instructions to guide AI agents on how to interact with users across multiple platforms. By defining prompts, you can control the opening greetings, instructions, and responses tailored to different channels, ensuring a personalized and consistent user experience.

Prompts can be customized based on the communication channel, such as Phone Call, WhatsApp, or SMS, allowing agents to adapt their behavior for each platform.

1. Navigate to the AI Agents Dashboard:

  • On the main dashboard, go to AI Agents and select the specific agent you want to configure

2. Select the Prompt Tab:

  • Under the selected agent’s profile, click on the Prompt tab. Here, you’ll see options for customizing prompts across various channels (Phone Call, WhatsApp, SMS).

Prompt Customization
