Getting started

Build your first agent

Create a draft, test it in your browser and prepare a safe first launch.

Before you start

You need a Verbatik account, a workspace, approved business information and a clear task for the agent. A phone number and booking connection are only needed when you deploy those features.

For a first veterinary receptionist, prepare your clinic name, opening hours, address, services, emergency contact, appointment policy and an unforwarded staff number. Decide who will review the test results.

Create and configure

  1. Sign up or sign in, then complete workspace onboarding.
  2. Open Build → Agents → Create an agent. Select Voice agent, then a single prompt or conversation flow.
  3. Choose a template or Build from scratch, name the agent and select a language and voice model.
  4. Replace template examples with your clinic's approved facts. In the editor, review System prompt, Welcome message and Voice & language.
  5. Attach the knowledge base and only the integration functions the agent needs. A booking instruction alone cannot create an appointment.
  6. Select Save. Open Test and try text, then audio.

Verify the outcome

Ask for opening hours, interrupt a long answer, correct a pet's name, request an unsupported service and ask to speak to staff. Confirm the transcript and any tool outcome. For a booking, check the record in the connected booking system.

Select Publish only after review. Publishing creates a version; connecting a phone number or widget controls where callers can reach it. It does not buy a number or enable a disabled account.

Continue with phone setup, booking integrations or website widgets.
