​

1️⃣ Basic Configuration – Define Your Agent’s Identity & Behavior

This section is where you set who your agent is, what it does, and how it behaves.

​

🏷 Agent Name (Required)

• This is for internal use only — it helps you identify the agent in your dashboard.
• Choose a clear, descriptive name (e.g., Website Support, Leads Bot – EN/AR).
• This name is not shown to end users.

​

🧠 Core Instructions (Required)

This is the brain of your agent — also known as the System Prompt.
Think of it like training a new employee: you’re telling them exactly how to do their job. Include:

• Role & Goal – The agent’s main purpose (e.g., support, sales, bookings, lead qualification).
• Tone & Style – Friendly, professional, concise, formal, etc.
• Language & Dialect – Specify exactly, e.g., English (US), Arabic – Saudi, Arabic – Egyptian.
• Communication Style – Short answers, detailed explanations, or a mix.
• Boundaries – What the agent should avoid (e.g., no legal advice, no personal opinions).
• Compliance Requirements – Reference company policies and legal restrictions.

⚠ Guidance: Be precise. Vague instructions lead to unpredictable behavior.

​

🛠 Use Pre-built Templates (Optional)

• Start quickly by applying a ready-made role (e.g., Customer Support Agent, Sales Agent).
• After applying, edit the Core Instructions to add your business details and policies.
• Templates are a starting point, not a replacement for customization.

⏳ Note: Very long instructions may slightly slow down response speed.

​

💬 Starter Questions (Optional)

• Suggested prompts that appear at the start of the conversation. Add suggested prompts shown at the beginning of the chat to help users start (e.g., “Where is my order?”, “Book a demo”, “Pricing plans”).
• Guide the user toward meaningful interactions.
• You can add multiple and arrange their order.
• Click Add Starter Question to insert multiple entries.
• Order them by importance.

​

🎨 Creativity Level (Temperature)

Controls how precise or creative the agent is:

• 0.0 – 0.3 → Deterministic, factual answers (policy, docs)
• 0.4 – 0.6 → Balanced (good for general assistants).
• 0.7 – 1.0 → Highly creative (marketing, brainstorming).

🔹 For support bots, keep this at 0.5 or lower.

Your agent can only answer well if it has accurate and updated knowledge.

​

📂 Files

• Upload PDFs, Word docs, Excel sheets, or text files (max 100MB each).
• Click Upload & Train to process the content.

​

🔗 Links

• Add trusted URLs — such as your website, help center, FAQs, or policy pages.

​

❓ FAQs
