# Editing Your Assistant

> How to edit your assistant after creation — name, prompt, greeting, voice, questions, and more.

After creating an assistant, you can fine-tune every aspect of it from the assistant detail page. Go to **Assistants** in your dashboard and click on the assistant you want to edit.

***

## The Assistant Detail Page

At the top, you'll see your assistant's name (which you can click to edit) and action buttons. Below that is a tab bar for navigating between different configuration sections.

### Available tabs

| Tab                 | What it controls                                          |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **System Prompt**   | The core instructions that define how your AI behaves     |
| **Greeting**        | What your assistant says when it picks up or makes a call |
| **Tone & Style**    | The personality and communication style                   |
| **Smart Questions** | Questions your assistant asks callers                     |
| **Knowledge**       | Business information your assistant can reference         |
| **Capabilities**    | Advanced features and integrations                        |
| **Calendar**        | Appointment booking configuration                         |
| **Voice**           | The voice your assistant uses                             |
| **Testing**         | Test your assistant via chat or voice call                |

## Editing the Assistant Name

Click directly on the assistant name at the top of the page to rename it. Type a new name and press Enter or click away to save.

***

## System Prompt

The system prompt is the set of instructions that tells your AI how to behave. It defines your assistant's personality, rules, and capabilities.

* Edit the prompt in the text area
* A character count is shown below the editor
* Changes are tracked locally until you click **Publish Changes**

> **Note:** The system prompt editor is available on the Enterprise plan. On other plans, VozAgent auto-generates and manages the prompt for you based on your wizard settings.

***

## Greeting

The greeting is what your assistant says at the very start of a call.

### First Message Mode

Choose how your assistant starts the conversation:

* **Assistant speaks first** — The assistant initiates with your custom greeting message
* **Assistant waits for user** — The assistant stays silent until the caller speaks
* **Model generated message** — The AI generates an appropriate greeting based on context (the text area is disabled in this mode)

### First Message

Type the exact greeting you want your assistant to say. For example:

*"Thanks for calling ABC Plumbing. How can I help you today?"*

***

## Tone & Style

Choose the overall personality of your assistant. This affects how it phrases responses throughout the conversation — not just the greeting.

***

## Smart Questions

Smart questions are the questions your assistant asks callers to gather information. There are two categories:

### System Questions

These are generated based on your industry and cannot be removed. You can:

* **Toggle them on or off** with the switch next to each question
* See a count of how many are enabled (e.g., "5/8 enabled")
* View the question type badge (text, yes/no, etc.)

### Custom Questions

Add your own business-specific questions:

1. Click **Add question**
2. Enter the question text in the side panel
3. Click **Add Question** to save

Custom questions can be edited or deleted at any time. Hover over a custom question to see the edit and delete buttons.

> **Tip:** Keep the number of enabled questions reasonable. If you have 8 or more enabled, you'll see a warning that it may increase call duration.

***

## Voice

Choose the voice your assistant uses during calls.

### Built-in voices

Select from VozAgent's library of professional voices:

1. Click **Change Voice** to open the voice selection panel
2. Filter by language (English, Portuguese, Spanish)
3. Click the play button to preview any voice
4. Select your preferred voice and click **Save Selection**

Some premium voices (marked with a "Growth" badge) require a Growth plan or higher. Voices you can't access will show a lock icon.

### Voice Clone (Enterprise)

Enterprise users can create a custom voice clone:

1. Select **Create your voice clone**
2. Review the recording tips (quiet environment, microphone position, natural speaking, 1-3 minute target)
3. Read the provided script while recording
4. The system monitors your volume level to ensure quality

***

## Calendar

Configure how appointment booking works for this assistant. This is the same configuration from the creation wizard, and you can update it here at any time.

***

## Testing

Test your assistant without making a real phone call:

* **Test Chat** — Have a text conversation with your assistant to check its responses
* **Test Voice Call** — Make a test call to hear how your assistant sounds in a real conversation

Both options open in a side panel so you can test without leaving the page.

***

## Publishing Changes

When you make changes to any tab, the **Publish Changes** button in the top-right becomes active.

* Changes are tracked locally as you edit across tabs
* Nothing is saved to your live assistant until you click **Publish Changes**
* The button shows "Published" when there are no pending changes

This means you can make multiple edits across different tabs and publish them all at once.

***

## Additional Actions

Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner for more options:

* **Duplicate** — Create a copy of this assistant with a new name
* **Download JSON** — Export the assistant configuration as a JSON file
* **Delete** — Permanently remove the assistant (this cannot be undone)

> **Note:** Duplicate and Delete actions require Admin permissions.
