Customize Your AI Agents with Awaz.ai’s Agent Settings

In Awaz.ai, Agent Settings allow you to customize, refine, and test AI voice agents to fit your business needs. Whether you're creating a new agent from scratch or modifying an existing template, the Agent Settings menu provides full control over:

The AI's voice, tone, and responsiveness
Conversation flow and prompting structure
Call actions like transfers, scheduling, and SMS follow-ups
Testing and training the AI agent in real-time

Understanding how to configure Agent Settings ensures that your AI interacts professionally, efficiently, and in alignment with your business goals.


Step 1: Overview of Agent Settings & Why They Matter

Agent Settings allow you to fine-tune AI behavior, adjust conversation flow, and enhance customer interactions. The settings you choose affect:

🔹 How the AI speaks – Voice type, speed, tone, responsiveness.
🔹 What the AI knows – Company details, role, objective.
🔹 How the AI interacts – Does it start the conversation, wait for the user, or follow a strict script?
🔹 What actions the AI takes – Can it transfer calls, send messages, or schedule meetings?

💡 Why It’s Important:

  • A well-configured AI agent improves call success rates.

  • Proper customization ensures a smooth, human-like conversation.

  • Testing and training help refine responses and eliminate errors.
