PolyAI platform documentation

Welcome to PolyAI

These docs will help you build a voice or chat agent that can handle real customer interactions — bookings, billing questions, escalations, and more.What you’re working with:
  • Production-ready by default. The same platform powers agents for some of the world’s largest brands, and is now available to you.
  • Fast, multilingual conversations. Powered by Raven, our proprietary LLM, with sub-300ms responses across 24+ languages.
  • Three ways to build. Configure an agent visually in Agent Studio, develop from the terminal with the ADK, or manage everything programmatically through the REST APIs.
  • Safe to iterate. Every change is deployed to a shareable test environment before it can be promoted to production.
New to the platform? Begin with the quickstart to build a working agent in under 10 minutes.
PolyAI’s Agentic Dialog Platform is self-serve. Use Agent Builder to describe the agent you want and get a working version you can iterate on.

Build a voice agent

Describe your use case to Agent Builder and it configures the flows, knowledge, and voice for you. Test the result in a shared preview, then embed it on your site.

Start building

Open Agent Studio and describe your agent.

Quickstart guide

Sign up → describe → test → embed. End to end.

Put it on your site

Embed the agent on your website with a single script tag.

Starter prompts

Paste any of these into Agent Builder to scaffold an agent you can immediately edit and test.

Restaurant reservations

Build a reservations agent for a restaurant. Greet the caller, take party size, date and time, name, and phone number, then confirm. If the slot isn’t available, suggest the nearest open window.

Clinic appointment booking

Build an agent for a dental clinic. Handle appointment requests for new and existing patients, check-in confirmations, opening-hours questions. Route urgent issues to staff. Don’t quote prices.

FAQ from a website

Read [your-site.com] and build an agent that answers customer questions about products, pricing, shipping, and returns. Be brief. If you don’t know, say so and offer to take a message.

Lead capture

Build a lead-capture agent for a B2B SaaS product. Qualify the caller’s company size, role, and use case, then book a 15-minute demo on the calendar.

Once you’ve built something

Write better prompts

Patterns that get better results.

Review conversations

Iterate after a call

The listen → diagnose → fix loop.
