# Voice Agent Builder

> Tig.ai's voice agent builder lets you design a conversation as a graph of nodes and pathways. Learn the graph model, the available node types, and where to start.

The Voice Agent Builder supports two editing approaches: a visual node editor for designing stages and pathways, and a raw text editor for writing the conversation flow directly.

You can create a new agent from the [dashboard](https://app.tig.ai/workflow). Describe your use case and Tig.ai generates a starting workflow with default prompts and pathways, which you can then edit.

## The graph model

A workflow is a directed graph:

* **Nodes** represent a stage of the conversation or an action (e.g. greet the caller, collect an address, transfer the call).
* **Pathways (edges)** connect nodes and represent the routes the LLM can take depending on what the caller says. The LLM decides at runtime which pathway to follow.

A workflow should have only one **Start Call** node and typically ends at an **End Call** node, with **Agent** nodes and other node types in between. See [Editing a Workflow](/voice-agent/editing-a-workflow) for how nodes, pathways, and node-level toggles fit together.

## Node types

| Node                                      | What it does                                                                                                                                  |
| ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [**Start Call**](/voice-agent/start-call) | Starts the call and configures the agent's greeting. Should have only one per workflow.                                                       |
| [**Agent**](/voice-agent/agent)           | Holds the prompt that drives conversation at a given stage; connects to other nodes via pathways.                                             |
| [**Global**](/voice-agent/global)         | Common instructions (tone, objection handling) prepended to every node with "Add Global Prompt" enabled.                                      |
| [**QA**](/voice-agent/qa)                 | Runs automated post-call quality analysis against criteria you define.                                                                        |
| [**End Call**](/voice-agent/end-call)     | Configures the agent's final message before the call is terminated. A workflow can have multiple End Call nodes, each with a distinct Prompt. |
| [**Webhook**](/voice-agent/webhook)       | Sends call results to an external system (CRM, Zapier, n8n) when a run ends.                                                                  |

Beyond nodes, you can extend an agent with:

* [**Tools**](/voice-agent/tools/introduction) — let the LLM call external APIs or transfer calls mid-conversation.
* [**Knowledge Base**](/voice-agent/knowledge-base) — attach documents the agent can reference during a call.
* [**Pre-Call Data Fetch**](/voice-agent/pre-call-data-fetch) — enrich context with an HTTP call before the agent starts speaking.
* [**Template Variables**](/voice-agent/template-variables) — reference `initial_context` and `gathered_context` values in prompts and payloads.

## Where to start

1. **New to Tig.ai?** Follow [Editing a Workflow](/voice-agent/editing-a-workflow) to learn the fundamentals of nodes and pathways.
2. **Want to test immediately?** Use a [Web Call](/core-concepts/calls-and-runs#web-calls) from the agent editor — no telephony setup required.
3. **Ready to go live?** Configure a [telephony provider](/integrations/telephony/overview) and set up inbound routing.
4. **Need the call to hit your systems?** Add a [Webhook](/voice-agent/webhook) node to sync results to your CRM or automation tool.
5. **Want to embed the agent on a website?** See [Add to Website](/voice-agent/add-to-website).
