Build your first agent

From an empty prompt to a live, observable voice agent. Here is the path, end to end.

Quickstart

Create an agent

Start from a prompt for a single-purpose agent, or build a visual workflow when the conversation has branches, tools, and handoffs.

Choose providers

Pick the language model, speech-to-text, and voice for the agent. Use the platform defaults or bring your own provider keys.

Test in the playground

Talk to the agent live in the browser. Watch the transcript, the routing decisions, per-step cost, and latency as it happens.

Connect a channel

Ship the same agent to your app, the web, a phone number, or your backend over the API and SDK, no rewrites.

Observe in production

Every session is recorded as a full transcript with cost and timing, so you always know what happened and why.

Core concepts

Agents and prompts

A single agent driven by a system prompt, greeting, model, and voice.

Workflows

A visual graph of nodes and edges for multi-step conversations with branching and tools.

Observability

Per-session transcripts, routing decisions, cost breakdown, and latency timelines.

Knowledge base

Ground answers in your own documents with vector retrieval, tunable per agent.

Tools and integrations

Let agents call HTTP tools and post to Slack, Discord, Telegram, or webhooks.

Channels

Run the same agent on web (WebRTC), phone (multiple carriers), or your own backend.

Call the API

The REST API lives under a versioned base URL. Create an API key in the dashboard and send it in the X-API-Key header, then list your agents to confirm the connection:

bash

curl https://api.glytos.com/api/v1/workflows \
  -H "X-API-Key: $GLYTOS_API_KEY"

A successful request returns a JSON array of your agents. Every resource you see in the dashboard is available the same way.

Embed a voice agent

To run an agent in the browser, mint a short-lived, workflow-scoped token on your server, then connect with the browser SDK. Your API key never leaves your backend.

bash

curl -X POST https://api.glytos.com/api/v1/calls/web-token \
  -H "X-API-Key: $GLYTOS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"workflow_uuid": "..."}'

typescript

import { GlytosWebCall } from '@glytos/web';

// token + ws_url come from the web-token call above
const call = new GlytosWebCall({ token, wsUrl });
await call.start();
