After verifying your email, you'll be prompted to complete your profile:

```

This information helps configure your voice agents with the correct locale and business hours.

## Step 3: Connect Your Integrations

Navigate to **Settings → Integrations** to connect the required services:

### ElevenLabs Connection

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get Your API Key">
    Log into your ElevenLabs account and copy your API key from the dashboard
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter API Key">
    Paste the key into the ElevenLabs integration field in Settings
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify Connection">
    The status indicator will turn green when successfully connected
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Twilio Connection (Optional)

If you want to use your own phone numbers:

1. Go to **Settings → Integrations → Twilio**

## Step 4: Create Your First Agent

With integrations connected, you're ready to create your first voice agent:

1. Navigate to **Agents** in the sidebar
2. Click the **+ Add Agent** button
3. Configure your agent:
   * **Name**: Give your agent a descriptive name (e.g., "Main Reception")
   * **Voice**: Select from available UK/US voice models
   * **Greeting**: Customize the initial greeting message
   * **Phone Number**: Assign a phone number to receive calls

<Tip>
  Use the **Smart Fill** feature to automatically populate agent settings based on your business information.
</Tip>

## Step 5: Configure Business Hours

Set your operating hours so the agent knows when to handle calls vs. take messages:

1. Go to **Settings → Organization → Business Hours**
2. Set your daily schedule (e.g., Mon-Fri 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM)
3. Configure after-hours behavior:
   * Take voicemail
   * Route to emergency line
   * Offer callback scheduling

## Step 6: Test Your Agent

Before going live, test your agent:

1. Call the assigned phone number
2. Interact with the AI to verify:
   * Greeting plays correctly
   * Voice sounds natural
   * Responses are appropriate
3. Check the **Conversations** page to see your test call logged
