Tools Tab

Tools are what allow your agent to take action beyond just talking. They turn an “AI chatbot” into an “AI worker.”

How Tools Work

When an LLM detects that a user’s request requires an action (e.g., “Transfer me to support” or “Book a meeting”), it triggers a tool call. Our platform then handles the execution of that tool.

Standard Tools

1. Transfer Call

Transfers the call to a human agent, another department, or an external phone number.
  • Configuration: Simply provide the E.164 formatted number (e.g., +12345678900).

2. End Call

Gracefully terminates the call. Useful for closing out a task or handling requested hang-ups.

3. Book Appointment

Integrates with calendars (Calendly, Cal.com) to check availability and book slots directly in the call.

Custom Webhook Tools

For specialized needs, you can create custom tools that trigger a request to your own API.
  • Example: “Check Order Status” or “Verify Policy Number”.
  • Configuration: Provide the URL and the parameters the LLM should extract from the conversation (e.g., order_id).

Tool instructions

In your system prompt, you must explain when and how to use the tools.
  • Prompt Example: “If the user says they want to talk to a human, use the transfer_call tool.”
