A role, a voice and a presence

Every agent is a character you define: what it does, what it knows, how it sounds and when it hands over to a person.

Five parts make an agent

Each part is a field your team writes and can change. Together they decide what Neri says, and where she stops.

What a rehearsal changes

The same six moments, with an agent nobody tried and with one your team rehearsed.

The moment Without a rehearsal Rehearsed in Voicelabs
A simple question Reads out a whole paragraph Answers in two sentences, then asks one question
An interruption Keeps talking over the person Stops at 0:10 and answers the new question
“Can we do this in French?” Answers in English anyway Repeats the same facts in French, in the same voice
A question it can't answer Sounds certain anyway Says it isn't sure and offers a person
A billing question Guesses at a policy it was never given Hands over: “I'll bring in someone who can help with your account.”
The video drops The conversation ends Continues with audio, same voice and personality
The Voicelabs cast together in couture on a pearl-grey studio backdrop: Pell, Maru, Neri, Ivo and Sabe
