# Quickstart

> From zero to a live agent — most teams are done in under an hour, without writing any code.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your agent">
    In the dashboard, go to **Agents → New Agent**. Give it a name, pick a voice and a default language, and write the persona — who it is, what business it represents, and what it should try to achieve on a call.

    The first live agent on your account automatically takes all web calls, so create it before wiring up a phone number or widget.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your knowledge">
    Go to **Knowledge Base**, upload a PDF or paste in text, and hit **Auto-extract Q\&A**. Vistrow Voice turns it into clean question-answer pairs your agent retrieves from at call time.

    Turn on **Strict mode** if the agent should only ever answer from this material instead of improvising.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test it in the browser">
    Open your agent's card and hit the mic button. You're talking to the exact same prompt, voice, and knowledge base it will use on a real call — no phone number needed yet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a channel">
    Pick how callers actually reach it:

    * **Phone number** — go to **Phone Numbers**, connect a provider, and route the number to your agent.
    * **Website widget** — go to **Website Widget**, add your site, and paste one script tag before `</body>`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on compliance rules">
    Before you dial anyone, visit **Compliance** and confirm the calling window (TRAI limits unsolicited calls to 9am–9pm, Mon–Sat by default), Do-Not-Call registry, and consent settings match how you plan to use the platform.
  </Step>
</Steps>
