First off, take a quick look at our "OpenMic's Interface" guide to get cozy with where everything is. It’s recommended to familiarize yourself with the platform's layout. This will provide you with a foundational understanding of the workspace and streamline your agent creation process.
Step into the Command Center
To begin, navigate to the Command Center and select the My AI Agent feature. This action will take you to the workspace window, the creative heart where your AI agent comes to life.
Creating Your AI Agent
Once in the workspace, click on the Create a New Agent button. You’ll be greeted with two choices:
After clicking on the "Create a new Agent" button, a pop-up will appear.
Start From Scratch: Choose this if you have specific requirements for your agent’s conversations. You’ll be provided with blank fields for prompts and scripts to craft your unique dialogue.
Use a Template: Ideal for those seeking a quick start or lacking in-depth experience. OpenMic offers a variety of templates for common use cases like candidate screening, political polling, sales, and more. Selecting a template will populate the prompts and scripts with pre-designed content, which you can then tailor as needed.
Customization and Fine-Tuning
Customize Tab: On the right side of your workspace window, the Customize tab offers options to enhance your agent’s capabilities:
Connect a Knowledge Base Item: To provide your agent with instant access to company information and FAQs.
Connect Calendar: For your agent to schedule and manage appointments.
End Call: To immediately terminate ongoing test calls.
Add Zapier or Custom Webhook URL: To integrate with other software for advanced functionality.
Call Forwarding: To control where calls are redirected under specific circumstances.
Testing and Iteration
With your prompts and scripts in place, it's time to test. Hit the Test Call button to initiate a call from your AI agent. Engage with your agent and pay close attention to the flow of the conversation.
This is your chance to evaluate and iterate on the dialogue, ensuring it meets your standards and effectively serves your business's needs.
Wrap Up
Building your AI buddy is a mix of creativity and fine-tuning. Use templates to get up and running fast, or craft unique conversations that fit your vibe. Test, tweak, and test again. You're not just making an AI; you're creating a conversation partner that'll make your day-to-day smoother.
And there you have it – the first step to making your own AI Agent with OpenMic. Have fun chatting!
