# Call your first agent in 15 minutes

> Create a template-based phone agent, connect VoBiz, and place your first test call.

In this walkthrough, you will start from a template, test the agent in Vocily, connect a
VoBiz number, and make a live phone call in about 15 minutes.

## Before you start

<Info>
  Have your **VoBiz account and a phone number ready**. Vocily runs phone calls through your
  own VoBiz telephony (bring your own account) — a live number is what lets you finish in
  about 15 minutes. No VoBiz yet? You can still create and test your agent (steps 1–3), then
  come back for the phone steps.
</Info>

## Build and deploy your agent

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    * Visit [Vocily.com](https://www.vocily.com).
    * Sign up for a new account.

    A **workspace** is automatically created for you within an organization. It's where your agents, phone numbers, and conversations are managed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create an agent">
    * Open the **Agents** tab.
    * Click **Create agent**.
    * **Start from a template** so the name, prompt, voice, and language come pre-filled —
      then tweak them to fit your use case.

    Your new agent opens in the [Agent Studio](/building-agents/overview), ready to
    configure.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test your agent">
    Before going live, try the agent right in the app:

    * **Chat** with it by text, or **Talk** to it by voice in your browser.
    * Refine the prompt and voice until it behaves the way you want.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a phone number">
    Vocily places calls through your own **telephony provider** (bring your own account).
    First [connect VoBiz](/integrations/vobiz), then import a number:

    * Open **Phone Numbers** in the sidebar.
    * Click **Add number**.
    * Choose your **provider**, then **select a number** from the list.
    * Click **Add phone number** — it's now imported into your workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign a number to your agent">
    Assign the phone number to your agent:

    * Choose the newly created agent.
    * From **Configuration tabs** choose **Deploy**.
    * Select **Routing**.
    * Assign the **inbound** number the agent should answer.

    [Deploy to phone →](/building-agents/deploy)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Make a call">
    * In the navbar, choose **Phone Call Test**.
    * **Inbound:** dial your number — your agent answers.
    * **Outbound:** place a call from your agent to any number.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>
  Your agent is live. It can receive inbound calls, place outbound calls, and handle natural
  conversations on its own.
</Check>

## What's next

<Tip>
  Don't have a telephony account yet? Skip the phone setup and put the same agent on your
  website with [Web Talk](/building-agents/deploy) or [Web Chat](/building-agents/deploy).
