4. Test your agent

Before real callers reach your agent, talk to it yourself in the browser. Test calls run in a live session but are not logged — no call record, no recording, no cost — so you can iterate freely on the greeting, prompt, and voice.

Start a test

Open the agent and use Test “<agent>” to start an in-browser conversation. Your microphone connects straight to the agent, exactly as a phone caller would hear it.

Listen for the essentials

  • Does it greet first (you should hear it speak as soon as the session starts)?
  • Is the voice right for your brand and language?
  • Does it collect the fields you defined and follow the prompt?
  • Do your tools and transfer behave as expected?

A test call won’t appear in Call logs and won’t accrue cost — that’s by design. To see a real call log with transcript, recording, and cost, place an actual call to your connected number.

Fix and re-test

Edit the Persona & prompt or swap the voice, save, and test again. The prompt generator’s Improve prompt is a quick way to refine wording without rewriting from scratch.

Go live

When it sounds right, you’re done — inbound calls to the assigned number are already being answered. To reach out proactively, build an outbound campaign.
