Set up Callario, step by step.

From an empty workspace to an AI agent answering on your website, with your team, routing and workflows behind it. During the alpha every workspace is set up with you — so read this as the map of that work, and of where each setting lives.

01Getting started

Seven steps
to a live AI agent.

In the order teams usually do them. The console keeps its own checklist on Home, which ticks each one off as it’s really done.

  1. Step 1

    Your workspace and team

    During the alpha your workspace is created with you at onboarding. Sign in with your email and password, turn on two-factor authentication, and invite teammates with a role each — an invite counts once it’s accepted.

    • Settings → Team
    • Settings → Security
    Security & trust
  2. Step 2

    Add your help-centre articles

    Write articles in Knowledge, or import HTML, Markdown or PDF files. The writing assistant can improve, shorten, simplify or draft from a description, in English or Arabic. Published articles are what your AI agent answers from, and what customers search in your help-centre portal.

    • Knowledge → New article
    • Knowledge → From file
    • Settings → Portal

  3. Step 3

    Create and test your AI agent

    Create an agent from a starter template, describe what it should handle, and choose the knowledge it answers from. Talk to it in the test chat before your customers do; an evaluation gate can hold it back from publishing until it passes.

  4. Step 4

    Put it on your website

    Publish the agent, then copy one script tag from its Deploy tab into your site — or share the hosted chat link, which needs no code at all. Both speak English and Arabic, right to left.

  5. Step 5

    Decide when a person takes over — and who

    Set the agent’s handoff: when the customer asks for a human, gets frustrated or goes in circles, when the agent is unsure, after a number of turns, or outside office hours. Then build queues with a strategy — least busy, round robin, longest idle or manual — plus skills and capacity, and add SLA policies with business hours.

    • Your agent → handoff
    • Inbox → Queues
    • Settings → SLA

  6. Step 6

    Automate the rest with workflows

    Describe a workflow in plain language and AI drafts it, or start from a template such as “Escalate a missed SLA” or “AI drafts, a teammate approves”. Test-run it with no side effects, publish it, and follow every run step by step.

  7. Step 7

    Connect your own systems (optional)

    Create a scoped API key, subscribe an HTTPS endpoint to signed webhooks, or register a context endpoint so the agent can look up a verified customer’s order or account on your side.
