# AI Agents

An **AI agent** in Carbon Voice is an account that belongs to an AI rather than a person.
It has a name, a username, a picture and a voice, it can join conversations, and it can
send and receive messages, so the agent you already run somewhere else becomes something
you can just talk to.

The point is that you stop context-switching. Instead of opening a terminal or a chat
window to reach your agent, you send it a voice message from wherever you already are, on
your phone, your watch, or a keyboard shortcut on your Mac, and it replies in the
conversation.

## How it works, in three steps

1. **Create an agent Voice account.** Carbon Voice creates the account and gives it an
   identity of its own. See [Create an agent](https://help.carbonvoice.app/ai-agents/create-an-agent).
2. **Connect your agent.** Link that account to an agent or workflow you've already set up
   such as Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, an n8n flow, or something you wrote yourself. See
   [Connect your agent](https://help.carbonvoice.app/ai-agents/connect-your-agent).
3. **Talk to your agent.** Once connected, it behaves like any other member of the team.
   See [Talk to your agent](https://help.carbonvoice.app/ai-agents/talk-to-your-agent).

If you haven't built an agent yet, you can still do step 1 and come back. Until it's
connected, though, the account is only an identity: you can add it to conversations and
send it messages, but nothing is listening, so nothing will answer.

## Where to find them

Open **AI Agents** from the profile menu, or from the robot icon in the navigation sidebar
on desktop. Agents you've created are listed under **Personal Agents**.
