# Quickstart Guide

> Deploy and call your first AI voice agent in 3 simple steps.

Welcome to Roostrr! This guide will walk you through setting up a voice agent, connecting it to a phone line, and making your first conversation.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Step 1: Hire a Worker or Create a Voice Agent">
    Go to the Roostrr dashboard and select your conversational AI core:

    * **Hire a Specialized Worker:** Navigate to the [Workers](https://roostrr.ai/dashboard/workers) tab. Click **Hire a Worker** and choose **Restaurant Worker**. Fill in its name and click **Create**. This worker comes pre-configured with advanced order-taking and WhatsApp summary tools.
    * **Create a Custom Agent:** Alternatively, go to the [Voice Agents](https://roostrr.ai/dashboard/voice-agents) page and click **Create Agent**. Here, you can configure your agent's custom system prompt, select their language, model, and text-to-speech voice.

  <Step title="Step 2: Assign a Phone Number">
    To allow people to call your agent, they need a phone line.

    1. Navigate to the [Phone Numbers](https://roostrr.ai/dashboard/phone) section in the sidebar.
    2. Click **Rent Number** to purchase a local number (available in US, CA, UK, AU, ZA, NG, and KE).
    3. Click **Configure**, and choose your newly created Restaurant Worker or Voice Agent in the routing dropdown.
    4. Save. All incoming calls to this number will now be automatically picked up by your agent.

    <Tip>If you already have your own carrier, you can set up a SIP trunk in the **BYOC** section and route calls directly to the agent.</Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 3: Test and Call">
    Now you're ready to start speaking:

    * **Dial in:** Grab your mobile phone and dial the number you rented. Your agent will answer and start talking.
    * **Browser Playground:** If you don't want to place a cellular call, go to the [Playground](https://roostrr.ai/dashboard/playground) tab. Choose your agent or worker from the dropdown and click **Start Test Session** to converse directly using your computer microphone and speakers via WebRTC.

## Next Steps

Now that you've completed your first call, customize your agent further:

* **Add Custom Knowledge:** Upload PDFs, brochures, or guidelines in the [Knowledge Base](/knowledge-base) to feed context to the agent.
* **Set up Automations:** Configure [Actions & Webhooks](/actions-webhooks) to trigger email, WhatsApp, or webhook updates after calls complete.
* **Review Call Analytics:** View full call recordings and transcripts under [Call History](https://roostrr.ai/dashboard/call-history).
