Create a new agent.

An agent represents an AI persona (Support Bot, Sales Agent, etc.) that can have phone numbers attached to it.

voiceMode: “webhook” (default) forwards transcripts to your webhook. “hosted” uses a built-in LLM with systemPrompt (no webhook needed).

Request

This endpoint expects an object.
namestringRequired
descriptionstring or nullOptional
voiceModeenumOptional
Allowed values:
enableMessagingboolean or nullOptional

When true, hosted-mode agents can send and read SMS/iMessage during calls. Defaults to true.

modelTierenumOptional
Allowed values:
systemPromptstring or nullOptional
beginMessagestring or nullOptional
voicestring or nullOptional
transferNumberstring or nullOptional
voicemailMessagestring or nullOptional
sttModeenumOptional

Speech-to-text mode. ‘fast’ optimizes for latency, ‘accurate’ optimizes for transcription accuracy (~200ms additional latency).

Allowed values:
ambientSoundenumOptional

Background ambience to mask synthetic silence between turns. ‘none’ disables; ‘office’, ‘coffee-shop’, ‘outdoor’ enable a quiet bed.

Allowed values:
denoisingModeenumOptional

Audio denoising. ‘noise-cancellation’ (default) handles general noise. ‘noise-and-background-speech-cancellation’ is more aggressive for callers in cars, cafes, or near TVs ($0.005/min surcharge).

Allowed values:
maxSilenceMsinteger or nullOptional10000-3600000

Hang up the call after this many milliseconds of caller silence. Default 600000 (10 min). Raise for IVR/hold-music workflows; lower to fail fast on dead lines. Range 10000 (10s) to 3600000 (1 hour).

voiceSpeeddouble or nullOptional0.5-2

Voice speed multiplier. 1.0 is normal pace; lower values slow speech (0.5 is half speed), higher values speed it up (2.0 is double). Range 0.5 to 2.0.

interruptionSensitivitydouble or nullOptional0-1
How easily callers can interrupt the agent. 0 means the agent is never interrupted, 1 means the agent stops at the first sound. Default 0.8. Range 0.0 to 1.0.
enableBackchannelboolean or nullOptional

When true, the agent interjects short filler words like ‘uh-huh’ or ‘mhmm’ during longer caller utterances. Set false to keep the agent silent while the caller is speaking. Defaults to true.

languageenumOptional

BCP-47 locale that drives the agent’s speech recognition and pronunciation. Defaults to ‘en-US’. See the enum for the full set of supported codes.
