Getting Started with Voicetta
This guide walks you from a new account to a live-ready AI voice agent.
The fastest path is: workspace, payment method, agent instructions, knowledge, test call, phone number, then live routing.
Why it matters for your business
- Save money: start with a tested agent before sending real traffic to it.
- Work faster: setup follows the same order as the app checklist.
- Standardize service: the agent learns your greeting, rules, and business context before going live.
- Delight every Guest: Guests get clear answers instead of voicemail, busy signals, or inconsistent handoffs.
Before you start
Prepare:
- your business name, website, country, language, timezone, and opening hours,
- a payment card for wallet top-ups and paid add-ons,
- any API keys you want to bring yourself,
- documents, FAQs, links, or property/listing data for the knowledge base,
- the phone number you want Guests to call or forward from.
Step-by-step in the app
- Sign in to
app.voicetta.com. - Confirm or create your workspace.
- Open Settings and complete business information.
- Open Billing and add a payment method.
- Open Agent and review the inbound greeting.
- Open Knowledge base and add the information the agent should know.
- Open Agent settings and choose the voice, AI providers, and call behavior.
- Use Test your agent before buying or routing a number.
- Open Phone numbers and buy or assign a number.
- Call the number and review the first conversation in History.
What to configure first
Configure the agent in this order:
- Inbound calls: what the agent says and how it should handle Guests.
- Connections: business systems and communication channels.
- Knowledge base: files, FAQs, website scrape, listings, and approved facts.
- Agent settings: voice, models, transcription, language, and call behavior.
- Phone numbers: live routing and inbound/outbound toggles.
- WhatsApp/SMS: optional text channels for follow-up and automatic replies.
Best practices
- Keep the first prompt simple. Add edge cases after testing real calls.
- Upload only information you would trust a team member to use with a Guest.
- Test before each major change.
- Use History to review whether the agent understood the Guest correctly.
- Add billing and wallet controls before live traffic.
Common mistakes
- Buying a number before the greeting and knowledge base are ready.
- Uploading documents but not approving staged knowledge.
- Forgetting that some provider costs are charged outside Voicetta when you bring your own keys.
- Treating the test call as optional.
