AI Agents Overview
AI Agents are the functional core of the Plura platform. They are the assistants that handle live conversations, respond to user input, and guide interactions across different workflows. While workflows define what the assistant should do, agents define how it behaves—what it sounds like, how it responds, and how it connects to users. An AI Agent brings together various configurations that control its behavior, personality, voice, and the call routing logic. This page provides a high-level overview of AI Agents and the various features that can be managed through the agent settings.What Are AI Agents?
AI Agents in Plura represent deployable assistants that can interact with users over phone or chat. Each agent has its own configuration that determines how it behaves during conversations, which workflow it follows, and how it manages technical settings such as voice options or call routing. They are best understood as the “personality layer” on top of your workflow logic. Multiple agents can share the same underlying workflow, but differ in how they speak, what phone number they use, or what analytic evaluations they perform.Agent Dashboard
The AI Agent dashboard provides a centralized overview of all existing agents in your organization. Here, you can:- Create and configure new AI Agents
- Assign a workflow to each agent (previously labeled “journey”)
- Assign inbound and outbound phone numbers
- View current status and last modified dates
- Choose from a wide range of synthetic voices
Key Configuration Areas
Each AI Agent has multiple configuration tabs that allow for fine-tuning of its functionality. While we won’t go into deep detail in this overview, here’s what each section is responsible for:Configuration
- Assign inbound and outbound workflows
- Set phone numbers for inbound and outbound calling
- Add a short description to help identify the purpose of the agent
Voice Settings
- Choose the AI voice provider and voice style
- Configure audio behavior, like background noise simulation
- Filter voices by language, gender, and use case
Analysis
- Set up automated prompts to evaluate the call’s outcome, summarize interactions, or extract structured data
- Helps with post-call insights and quality control
Advanced Settings
- Configure privacy-related settings like HIPAA compliance and audio recordings
- Define behavior like silence timeout or response delay
Deploy
- Add optional Webhook URL to forward call data
- Set voicemail fallback message
- Access API endpoint structure for manually triggering agent calls via HTTP
Calls
- View the agent’s historical call logs
- Filter by call direction (inbound or outbound), duration, and more
