Configuration overview

Voice Agents use a dedicated configuration screen, separate from the standard agent configuration UI. The screen is organized top-to-bottom in the order you should fill it out:

  1. Identity — name, description.
  2. Environment Variables — keys, values, masked secrets. Same model as standard agents.
  3. Mode Selection — the execution path. See Execution modes.
  4. Model Configuration:
    • LLM — provider and model for the reasoning step.
    • Transcriber (STT) — provider, model, language, and advanced options. See Transcriber (STT).
    • Text-to-Speech (TTS) — provider, voice, voice settings, and fallback voices. See Voice (TTS).
  5. Voice Settings — Voice Activity Detection, interruption, tool announcements. See Voice Activity Detection.
  6. Base instruction — the system prompt for the voice agent.
  7. Knowledge Base — attach one or more KBs. See Knowledge Bases.
  8. Tool Selection — voice-eligible tools. See Tools.
  9. Additional Features — voice-compatible features only.

What's not on the screen​

These options exist for standard agents but don't appear on the voice agent configuration:

  • Guardrails — not yet configurable on voice agents.
  • Planning and sub agents — not yet supported on voice agents.
  • Browser Use, Artifacts, Reflection, Follow-up Messages — not applicable to a voice interaction; hidden under Additional Features.

BYOK is everywhere​

LLM, STT, and TTS providers all support BYOK (bring your own key) through a unified key selector. See BYOK for the key management UX and cost implications.

Multilingual​

If you select a multilingual ASR (Deepgram Multilingual or Google Multilingual), the TTS provider list filters automatically to providers that support multilingual synthesis. See Multilingual.

Saving and publishing​

The voice agent uses the same draft / publish / version-diff model as the rest of the platform. See Versioning for the shared mechanics — version history and configuration diff between versions work identically on voice agents.
