Create and manage agents

Agents are the operational layer between your customers and Sayvy. Each agent has a purpose, instructions, and the tools it is allowed to use.

Create an agent

  1. Open Agents and select Create agent.
  2. Give the agent a specific name and describe its job in one sentence.
  3. Add clear instructions: tone, scope, required questions, and when to hand off.
  4. Add only the integrations and tools it needs.
  5. Test common, ambiguous, and out-of-scope requests before publishing.

Make an agent production-ready

Define the boundary

State what the agent must not promise, change, or disclose.

Plan the handoff

Tell the agent when to involve a person and what context to include.

Test edge cases

Try missing information, interruptions, unhappy customers, and duplicate requests.

Review outcomes

Use inbox history and call logs to improve instructions.
Do not give an agent access to a tool just because it is available. Keep permissions narrow and review them whenever its scope changes.
For API-based workflows, see the Agents API reference.
