An agent is an intelligent, AI-powered system designed to interact with users in natural language. Think of it as a smart assistant that can understand what users say, figure out what they need, and then respond helpfully or take action to assist them. Agents can automate tasks, provide instant support, and create engaging conversational experiences.

How an agent works

Every turn of a conversation flows through the same pipeline. The caller speaks, Samvaad turns that speech into text, your instructions (plus any variables, knowledge, and tools) decide what to say or do, and the response is spoken back — all in real time. The pieces you configure map directly onto this loop:

Instructions

The prompt that defines your agent’s personality and what it should do. This is the heart of the agent.

Voice & language

How your agent sounds and which languages it speaks.

Variables & personalization

Personalize each call with inputs and capture outcomes from the conversation.

Tools & integrations

Let the agent call your APIs, run custom logic, and manage conversation flow.

Knowledge base

Ground your agent’s answers in your own documents and policies.

Conversational controls

Configure interruptions, nudges, and voicemail behavior.
You don’t pick or tune the underlying model. Sarvam runs models tuned in-house for conversational quality, and we continuously guard against regressions — so you get the best-performing model for voice without having to choose, benchmark, or babysit one. You focus on the instructions; we handle the intelligence underneath.

Deployment channels

Telephony

Deploy voice agents for both inbound and outbound phone calls—perfect for customer service, sales outreach, and more.

WhatsApp

Engage users on WhatsApp with agents that support text and voice notes—ideal for chat-based support and communication.

In-app & website
