Voice Agents are server-managed configurations that pair an LLM with SLNG’s STT and TTS models. You create an agent once, then dispatch it to phone calls or web sessions. Agents support tools, built-in utilities like current date/time lookup, webhooks, human transfer, and dynamic prompts via template variables.
The Voice Agents API is served from https://api.agents.slng.ai under /v1/agents.

Where to go next

This page is the orientation. The detail lives in four places:

Build your first agent

Create, update, duplicate, and delete agents in cURL, JavaScript, and Python.

Configuration & Tools

System prompts, models, tools, tool personalization, and template variables.

Calls, telephony & web sessions

Dispatch outbound calls, run batch campaigns, and test with web sessions.

Managed Agents

Build and test agents with the visual Dashboard UI.

​
Dashboard or API

You can build agents either way, and the two stay in sync. Start in Managed Agents for a UI (and to set up Telephony), or manage everything through the API. Everything in the Dashboard maps to public API endpoints.
If you already have an agent configured the way you want, you can duplicate it from the API or from Agent Infra. Duplication preserves the stored configuration, but it does not copy call history or the inbound connection. After duplicating, reconnect inbound routing if needed, verify the outbound trunk, and test the copy with a web session or test call.

Versioning, portability, and secrets

​
Agent regions

Voice Agents use logical region values that correspond to the Agent Settings region menu. The selected region controls where the agent session runs and how the agent routes its model requests. For model requests, routing is constrained to the selected compliance area, and the exact deployment can vary based on model availability inside that area.

​
Example agent patterns

Common production-style tool combinations (configured in Configuration & Tools):
  • Scheduling assistant: current_datetime + hangup + idle nudges. The agent needs accurate local time before offering appointment slots.
  • Support router: contextual webhook lookup + human_transfer. Resolves routine cases, escalates exceptions.
  • Collections follow-up: voicemail_detection + system webhook on call_end. Every completed call posts a summary to your CRM.
  • Restaurant host: current_datetime + availability webhook. Reservation and booking lookups that depend on real-time availability.
  • After-hours clinic router: system-injected current_datetime on call_start + human_transfer + hangup. Business-hour logic is available to the model before the first turn.
