## Create Your First AI Voice Agent

Get up and running with Recepta.ai in just a few simple steps. This guide will walk you through creating your first AI voice agent and setting up a chat widget.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe your business">
    Tell us about your business to customize your AI agent:

    * **Business Name & Description**: How your AI agent will introduce your company
    * **Industry & Services**: What your business offers to customers
    * **Target Audience**: Who your typical customers are
    * **Business Goals**: How the AI agent should help your business

  <Step title="Business location and operating hours">
    Set up your location and availability:

    * **Business Address**: Where your business is located
    * **Service Areas**: Geographic regions you serve
    * **Operating Hours**: When your business is open
    * **Time Zone**: Your local time zone for scheduling

    <Tip>
      This information helps the AI agent provide accurate availability and location-based responses to customers.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your frequently asked questions">
    Add your most common customer questions and answers:

    * **Common Questions**: Questions customers ask regularly
    * **Detailed Answers**: Accurate responses in your business's voice
    * **Contact Information**: How customers can reach you
    * **Policies**: Business policies and procedures

    <Note>
      The more FAQs you provide, the better your AI agent will handle customer inquiries.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Qualify new clients and customers">
    Configure how your agent handles different caller types:

    * **Potential New Clients**: Questions to qualify leads
    * **Existing Customers**: Information to collect for support
    * **Sales Inquiries**: Lead qualification criteria
    * **General Callers**: Basic information collection

    <Tip>
      Set up qualification questions that help you identify the best prospects and provide appropriate service levels.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload knowledge base">
    Enhance your agent with additional business knowledge:

    * **Business Documents**: Upload manuals, guides, policies
    * **Website Content**: Import information from your website
    * **Training Materials**: Add specialized knowledge
    * **Custom Instructions**: Specific handling procedures

    <Note>
      This step takes about 3 minutes and significantly improves your agent's ability to provide accurate, detailed responses.
