The feel

The small things that make a call feel human.

Timing, interruptions, tone. The parts of a conversation nobody notices until they go wrong.

Cut in any time

Start talking and the agent stops mid-word and listens, the way a person would. It picks the thread back up when you are done.

Not thrown by a “हाँ”

A quick “okay” or “mm-hm” while it is talking is a listener nodding along, not an interruption. It keeps going.

Laughs, sighs, slows down

Set the pace and the tone per agent. On voices that can perform them, a written laugh or sigh is acted out, never read aloud.

Follows the caller’s language

When a caller moves between Hindi and English, the agent moves with them and stays there for the rest of the call.

Knows when it’s over

Once the caller is done, it says one short goodbye and hangs up, instead of leaving them on an open line.

How it works

From a blank page to a live call in four moves.

01

Brief it like a new hire

An agent’s instructions are a page of plain writing, not a flowchart. Say who it is, what it is for and what it must never do.

  • Variables fill in what you know about each caller
  • Tools are your own HTTP endpoints, used mid-conversation
  • A greeting it speaks first, written or improvised

Greeting

Hi customer_name, this is Tara at Sunrise Dental. How can I help?

Instructions

You answer calls for a dental clinic and look after its bookings. Use find_booking to look up the caller’s appointment and reschedule to move it.

02

Give it a voice

Pick the speech engine, the voice and the language, then the model that does the thinking. Sliders set the pace and the volume.

  • Search the voice library for the right voice
  • One price per minute, whichever voice and model you pick
  • Press Test agent and talk to it in your browser

Ship it with one request

Every agent has its own API key. One POST starts a call and returns what a LiveKit client needs to join it, from a browser or a phone.

  • Per-call variables and your own metadata
  • Signed webhooks, retried if your server is down
  • Live captions for your own call screen
POST /v1/calls
curl -X POST "$CRACKLE_API_URL/v1/calls" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CRACKLE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "participant": { "identity": "customer_123" },
    "variables": { "customer_name": "Divya" }
  }'
Returns
{ "callId": "…", "livekitUrl": "wss://…", "token": "eyJ…" }
Then your webhook is told

04

Read every call back

Each call is kept with its transcript, how long it ran and what it cost, next to the numbers that say how it went.

  • Who cut in, and how often
  • How long each reply took to start
  • Why the call ended
