How to Create an AI Agent in ZazzyAgent

Updated
View as Markdown

ZazzyAgent AI Agents are designed to handle customer conversations with a defined responsibility.

Instead of creating one AI that tries to do everything, you can create focused agents such as:

  • Sales Agent

  • Customer Support Agent

  • Lead Qualification Agent

  • Order Status Agent

  • Appointment Agent

This guide explains how to create your first one.

Before creating an AI Agent

Prepare three things:

1. Decide what the agent is responsible for

Keep the responsibility narrow.

Good:

Help customers choose the right products and answer pre-purchase questions.

Less useful:

Handle everything related to the company.

2. Prepare your business knowledge

Collect the information the agent will need.

For a sales agent this might include:

  • Product descriptions

  • Pricing

  • Product specifications

  • Size information

  • Delivery information

  • Return policy

  • Frequently asked questions

3. Decide which actions the agent needs

Only give the agent actions it actually needs.

A product sales agent may need:

  • Product search

  • Lead label

  • Custom-field saving

A support agent may need:

  • Order lookup

  • Human assignment

  • Internal notes

  • Solving conversations

Create the AI Agent

The current underlying AI Agent interface uses an AI Agents area with a Create Agent option, followed by agent configuration fields.

In ZazzyAgent, open the AI Agent section and choose the option to create a new agent.

You will configure the agent's basic information.

Give the agent a clear name

Use a name that describes its responsibility.

Good examples:

  • Sales Agent

  • Support Agent

  • Order Status Agent

  • Lead Qualification Agent

  • Appointment Agent

Avoid vague names such as:

  • AI 1

  • Bot

  • Assistant

  • New Agent

A clear name becomes even more useful when you eventually create multiple agents.

Add a description

The description should explain what the agent handles.

Example:

Handles product questions, recommendations and pre-purchase sales conversations.

Another:

Handles order status, shipping, returns and customer support requests.

Keep the description focused.

Write the System Prompt

The System Prompt is where you define the agent's behavior.

At minimum, tell it:

  • Who it is

  • What it is responsible for

  • Who it serves

  • How it should communicate

  • What information it should collect

  • How it should use knowledge

  • When it should use actions

  • What it must not do

  • When it should transfer to a human or another agent

The current AI Agent documentation uses the System Prompt as the central configuration for the agent's role, behavior, data collection, knowledge use and actions.

Connect the right knowledge source

Select the knowledge source that contains the information this agent needs.

Don't connect unrelated information simply because it is available.

For example:

Sales Agent knowledge

  • Products

  • Sizes

  • Pricing

  • Shipping

  • Returns

  • Promotions

Support Agent knowledge

  • Order policy

  • Shipping policy

  • Returns

  • Refunds

  • Support FAQs

The knowledge source provides information; the System Prompt tells the agent how that information should be used.

Add only the actions the agent needs

Suppose you are creating a Sales Agent.

It might need:

Save lead information

Add interested-lead label

Recommend products

It does not necessarily need:

Cancel orders

Giving an agent unnecessary capabilities makes your automation harder to control.

Save the agent

Save the configuration.

At this point, the agent has been created.

That does not necessarily mean it is already handling customer conversations.

Enable the agent

The current underlying platform has a separate Agent Configuration area where agents are enabled and routing is configured.

Open your agent configuration and make sure the agent is active for the intended channel/bot.

If you are using multiple agents, configure how conversations should reach the correct agent.

Test the agent

Do not immediately send traffic to it without testing.

Try questions from the real customer perspective.

For a Sales Agent:

Do you have black shirts?

What size should I buy?

How much is this?

Can I return it?

I want something under ₹2,000.

Then test unexpected questions:

Where is my previous order?

I want to talk to a human.

Hello

Thanks

???

The agent should respond appropriately in every case.

A simple first-agent setup

For your first test, keep it simple.

Agent name

Sales Agent

Responsibility

Help customers choose products and answer pre-purchase questions.

Knowledge

Product information + shipping + returns.

Actions

Product recommendation + lead label + custom-field saving.

Handoff

Transfer order issues to the support agent.

This gives you a manageable first AI Agent that you can improve before building a much more advanced setup.

When should you create another AI Agent?

Create another agent when the task requires a different responsibility, knowledge source or workflow.

For example:

Sales Agent → Support Agent

The customer starts by asking about a product.

Later they ask:

Where is my order?

That is no longer a sales question.

A specialized setup can transfer the conversation to an Order or Support Agent.

This type of specialized multi-agent workflow is supported by the underlying AI Agent system.

Final checklist

Before enabling your agent:

  • [ ] Name is clear

  • [ ] Responsibility is specific

  • [ ] System Prompt is complete

  • [ ] Correct knowledge source is connected

  • [ ] Only required actions are available

  • [ ] Human handoff is defined

  • [ ] Agent is enabled

  • [ ] Test conversations are complete
