## Step 2: Configure Your Agent

Once logged in, you'll see the agent configuration dashboard. Configure your agent across four layers:

### Character & Appearance

* **Animation Style**: Choose between avatars ranging from photorealistic humans to animated characters

### Voice & Speech

* **Select a Voice**: Choose from hundreds of natural-sounding voices
* **Language**: Set primary language or enable multi-language support

### Intelligence & Personality

* **LLM Model**: Choose between OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini and more providers based on your needs
* **Personality**: Define your agent's conversational style and expertise
* **System Prompt**: Write instructions that guide your agent's behavior
* **Knowledge Base**: Integrate custom information your agent should know about
* **Tools**: Connect external APIs and services to give your agent new abilities.
* **MCP**: Use the Model Context Protocol to standardize how your agent uses tools.

### Listening & Understanding

* **Speech Recognition**: Configure accuracy and language detection
* **Context Memory**: Set how much conversation history to remember
* **Intelligent Interruption Handling**: Allow users to interrupt the agent naturally. Configurable.

## Step 3: Deploy Your Agent

Once satisfied, deploy your agent. For detailed instructions on each method, see the following pages:

1. **Share the URL** with users to start conversations
2. **Monitor usage** in the dashboard to track performance
3. **Iterate and improve** based on user feedback
4. **Scale up** by adding more agents for different use cases
