Creating an Agent

Meetzy offers two ways to create your AI voice agent:

Prompt-First Creation

When creating a new agent, Meetzy presents an intuitive creation overlay where you can describe your agent in natural language.
This is as fundamental as the second law of thermodynamics: describe what you want and Meetzy generates it automatically.

Using the Creation Overlay

When you create a new agent, you’ll see a beautiful overlay with an animated wave background. This is your starting point for rapid agent creation.
1

Describe Your Agent

In the text area, describe what you want your agent to do. Be specific about:
  • Purpose: What is the agent’s main function?
  • Industry/Context: What business or service does it support?
  • Key Actions: What should it be able to do?
  • Escalation: When should it transfer to humans?
Example descriptions:

Generate Your Agent

Press Enter or click the send button (arrow icon) to generate your agent. Meetzy’s AI will automatically:
  • Generate an appropriate system prompt
  • Configure basic settings and phone integration
  • Set up default greetings for inbound/outbound calls
  • Create relevant input/output parameters
  • Add suggested tools and actions
3

Review and Customize

Your agent opens in the Advanced Editor where you can:
  • Review the generated configuration
  • Customize the system prompt
  • Adjust settings and parameters
  • Test with the playground
  • Publish when ready

Creation Overlay Features

  • Animated Background: A beautiful WebGL wave animation that adapts to your theme
  • Keyboard Shortcuts: Press Enter to generate or Escape to start from scratch
  • Theme Aware: Automatically matches your light/dark theme preference
  • Mobile Friendly: Works perfectly on mobile devices
You can always skip the prompt-first creation by clicking “or start from scratch” to open the Advanced Editor directly.

Automatic Agent Creation from Onboarding

When you complete the onboarding flow from our self-service landing page, Meetzy automatically creates your first agent to streamline your setup process.
If you came from our onboarding process, your agent configuration has been automatically preserved and you’ll be redirected directly to the agent editor with your initial settings applied.

How It Works

1

Onboarding Data Preservation

The system automatically saves your onboarding configuration including:
  • Initial prompt description
  • Selected communication channels
  • Business directions and requirements
2

Automatic Redirection

After successful authentication, you’re automatically redirected to the agent creation editor instead of the standard dashboard
3

Pre-populated Configuration

Your agent editor opens with your onboarding data already applied, so you can immediately review and customize your agent
Onboarding data is automatically cleared after use to maintain security. If you navigate away before completing your agent setup, you’ll need to manually re-enter your configuration.

Prerequisites

Before creating an agent, ensure you have:
  • An active Meetzy account with dashboard access
  • At least one phone number available in your account
  • Basic understanding of your use case (sales, support, etc.)

The Advanced Editor

The Advanced Editor is a three-panel interface for configuring your agent:

Toolbar Actions

Left Panel

The left sidebar contains all configuration sections:

Step 1: Basic Settings

Click the Settings icon (Cog) to configure:

Agent Name

Internal identifier for your agent. Choose a descriptive name like:
  • “Sales Qualification Agent”
  • “Customer Support - Billing”
  • “Appointment Reminder”

Company

Select which company this agent belongs to (for multi-company accounts).

Twilio Account

Choose the Twilio account for phone calls.

Phone Number

Phone numbers are exclusive resources. Each number can only be assigned to one agent at a time.
Select an available phone number from the dropdown. If none are available:
  • Release a number from another agent
  • Request new numbers via the “Request more numbers” link

Language Model (LLM)

Select the AI model that powers your agent’s conversations. Available models:

Anthropic (Claude)

OpenAI (GPT)

Google (Gemini)

For most use cases, start with Claude Haiku 4.5 or Gemini 2.5 Flash. They offer the best balance of speed, quality, and cost.

Call Recording

Toggle to enable/disable call recordings. When enabled:
  • All calls are recorded and stored
  • Recordings are available in the Calls section
  • Required for quality assurance and training

Meetzy Foundation

Optional base components that enhance your agent:

Step 2: Greetings

Click the Greetings icon (Hand Raised) to configure welcome messages.

Inbound Greeting

The first message when a customer calls your agent:

Outbound Greeting

The first message when your agent calls a customer:

Templates

Select from pre-built greeting templates:
  • Sales Call
  • Customer Support
  • Appointment Reminder
  • Survey Introduction

Dynamic Variables

Use variables to personalize greetings:

Step 3: System Prompt

The central editor contains the System Prompt - the core instructions that define your agent’s behavior.
If you used prompt-first creation, Meetzy has already generated an optimized system prompt based on your description. You can review and customize it here.

Structure

A good system prompt includes:
  1. Role Definition: Who the agent is
  2. Objective: What the agent should accomplish
  3. Guidelines: How to handle specific situations
  4. Constraints: What the agent should NOT do

Example

Step 4: Input Params

Click the Input Params icon (Document) to define variables passed to each call. Common parameters: These parameters are available in your system prompt and greetings using {{param_name}} syntax.

Step 5: Knowledge Base

Click the Knowledge Base icon (Book Stack) to add reference documents. Upload documents the agent can reference during calls:
  • Product FAQs
  • Pricing information
  • Company policies
  • Common objections and responses
The agent searches the knowledge base contextually during conversations. It doesn’t memorize everything - it retrieves relevant information when needed.

Step 6: Actions & Tools

Click the Actions & Tools icon (Wrench) to configure integrations. Available actions:

Step 7: Evaluations

Click the Evaluations icon (Check Badge) to set up automated tests. Create test scenarios to validate your agent:

Step 8: Output Settings

Click the Output Settings icon (Inbox) to define data extraction. Specify what information the agent should capture: Extracted data is available in call summaries and can be sent to your CRM.

Publishing Your Agent

When your configuration is complete:
1

Validate

Click Check to validate your configuration. Fix any errors.
2

Test

Use the Playground (right panel) to test conversations.
3

Make test calls

Use “Init Call” from the agents list to make real phone calls.
4

Publish

Click Publish to deploy your agent to production.
Publishing creates a new version. The previous version remains available for rollback if needed.

Testing Your Agent

Before going live, thoroughly test your agent:

Playground Testing

Use the right panel’s Playground to:
  • Simulate conversations
  • Test different scenarios
  • Verify response quality
  • Check knowledge base integration

Test Calls

Make actual phone calls to verify:
  • Audio quality
  • Response timing
  • Phone number routing
  • End-to-end functionality
