Once your agent exists, you keep working on it the same way you built it: you tell Alex what you want, Alex proposes the change, and you approve it. There are no forms to hunt through and no settings to memorize. Studio is your agent’s home, and the chat is the control surface.

​
The quick actions

Most day-to-day work is one sentence. Type it (or dictate it with the microphone), and Alex shows you a review card before anything changes.
The composer has shortcut buttons for the two you will use most. Talk to your agent starts a live test call right in your browser, and Call my phone places an outbound test call. Both let you hear a change the moment you approve it.

​
Alex reviews, never acts silently

This is the rule that makes Studio safe to work in quickly: Alex proposes, you approve. Every change Alex is about to make appears on a review card first, in plain language, so you always see what will happen before it happens. Nothing is edited behind your back.
1

You ask

Describe what you want in the chat. You do not need to know the exact field or setting.
2

Alex explains and proposes

Alex restates what it understood and shows a review card with the exact change.
3

You approve

Approve the card to apply the change, or refine your request and try again. Nothing changes until you approve.
Destructive actions ask for more than a click. To delete an agent, you type confirm to go ahead. This is deliberate friction, so nothing important disappears by accident.

​
Your agent’s North Star

Every agent has one objective it always keeps in view. This is its North Star: the single thing the agent is there to do, such as “book qualified demos” or “answer support questions and hand off anything it cannot resolve.” The North Star is the lens Alex checks new instructions against. When you ask to edit the instructions, Alex weighs the change against the objective, so later tweaks refine the agent without quietly pulling it off mission. You can restate the North Star at any time by telling Alex the agent’s goal has changed, and it becomes the new lens for everything after.

​
The full menu of what you can ask

Anything you can do to an agent, you can ask for in plain language. Here is the fuller set, grouped by what you are trying to get done.
Instructions and knowledge are how you shape what the agent says and knows. Both go through a review card, and instruction edits are always weighed against the North Star.
Tools are the built-in abilities you switch on or off. Connectors link the agent to your apps, such as your calendar and email, so it can act on your behalf during a call.
Campaigns put the agent to work outbound, and automations handle the follow-up. As with everything else, you see the plan on a review card before it runs.
After a test call you get an automatic summary, a quality score, and recommended next steps, so you know exactly what to tune before going live.
You can review performance and call history from the chat, in the same place you build and edit.
Deleting is the one action that asks you to type confirm. It cannot happen from a single stray click.

When to open the settings drawer

The chat handles almost everything, and for most people it is all they ever need. When you want to edit fields directly, a settings icon opens a drawer with everything about the agent in one place, organized into sections for power users.

Profile

The agent’s name, voice, and phone numbers, edited as fields.

Tools

The full list of built-in tools, each toggled on or off directly.

Connectors

The apps the agent is linked to, managed in one view.

HTTP Tools

Custom tools for teams wiring the agent into their own systems.

Knowledge

Everything the agent knows, added, edited, or removed directly.

Widget

The settings for embedding the agent on your website.
Instructions are not a section in the drawer. You always give the agent its instructions in the chat, so every wording change stays weighed against the North Star.
On the free plan you work with a single ongoing chat and shape your agent entirely through it. Paid plans add multiple saved chats, the ability to create more agents, and the in-browser and phone test tools.
