Choose Your Path
Now that you understand what Gail can do, letβs get started. Choose one of these paths based on your immediate goal:
π¬ Path 1: Build A Gail (Custom AI Agent)
Create a custom AI agent that can handle chat, SMS, and more. Build a Gail tailored to your specific business needs with its own personality, knowledge base, and capabilities.
Select βCreate a Gailβ
On the Gails page, click βCreate a Gailβ in the top right to start building your custom AI agent.

Choose Your Mode
Basic Mode: Quick setupβjust provide the Gailβs name, specialty, and a brief description of the task you would like it to complete.

Advanced Mode: Full controlβgive Gail detailed steps and instructions you would like it to follow to complete the tasks you are assigning it. Provide specific rules, compliance constraints, or mandatory instructions your Gail must always follow.

Build the Knowledge Base
Attach documents to teach your Gail about your company. Add document types and tags for grouping and organization.

Enable Communication Channels
Select which channels your Gail should use as well as the models you would like it to use for: SMS, Chat widget, or within the Gail portal itself.

Add Actions
If you would like your Gail to follow specific steps to complete certain tasks, create a use case for them and outline the steps you would like Gail to take.

π Path 2: Set Up Inbound Calls
Configure your Gail to answer incoming calls 24/7 or after hours only. Handle customer inquiries, route calls, and provide support automatically. This is a strong fit for teams that need always-on customer service or an extra hand.
Create Your Scripts
On the Scripts tab, click + New Script. Create the scripts Gail will use to answer calls, greet callers, and handle different scenarios (business hours vs. after hours). You can create separate scripts for during hours and after hours, or one script that handles both.

Build Your Directory
Open the Directory tab. Add your internal contacts and their phone numbers, plus any external contacts, so Gail knows who to transfer calls to.

π€ Path 3: Create Outbound Campaign
Launch a campaign to proactively reach out to customers. Perfect for follow-ups, reminders, lead qualification, renewals, and staying connected with your customer base.
Create a New Campaign
On the Campaigns page, click the βNew Campaignβ button to start setting up your campaign.

Fill in Campaign Details
Give your campaign a clear name and description. Toggle βAdvanced Campaignβ if you need features like multiple scripts, call sequences, specific redialing rules or contact thresholds.

Select Your Script
From the βScriptβ dropdown menu, choose the specific script you want Gail to use for this campaign. This is the message or conversation flow Gail will follow when making calls.

Create your first campaign β

Not sure which path to choose? Most teams start with GailGPT to test the platform, then move to inbound calls for customer support. Outbound campaigns are typically added once youβre comfortable with the basics.
