# Create Your First Voice Agent in 5 Minutes

> Create a voice agent and test it in your browser — 5 minutes, no phone number required.

Let's build something that talks. In the next 5 minutes, you'll create a voice agent and have an actual conversation with it — right in your browser. No phone number needed, no credit card, no complicated setup.

By the end, you'll have a working agent you can customize however you want.

## Create your agent

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in">
    Head to [blackbox.dasha.ai](https://blackbox.dasha.ai) and sign in. If you don't have an account yet, creating one takes about 30 seconds.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new agent">
    From your dashboard, click **Create Agent**. You'll see a form with a few fields to fill in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up the basics">
    Here's what to enter:

    | Field             | What to put                                                                      |
    | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Name**          | Something like `My First Agent` — you can always change it later                 |
    | **Language**      | Pick `English (USA)` for now                                                     |
    | **System Prompt** | Try: `You are a friendly assistant. Keep your answers short and conversational.` |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save it">
    Click **Save Agent** — and that's it! Your agent exists now.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**That took about 2 minutes.** Nice work!

## Talk to it

Now for the fun part — let's hear your agent speak.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a test call">
    Click the **Test** button in the top right corner. Your browser will ask for microphone access — go ahead and allow it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Say something">
    Try: "Hello, what can you help me with?"
  </Step>

  <Step title="Listen">
    Your agent will respond — using the same voice and AI that it'll use in production. This isn't a simulation; it's the real thing.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**You're at about 4 minutes now.** One more quick thing.

## See what happened

Every conversation gets recorded, so you can review what went well and what to improve.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your call history">
    Click **Calls** in the left sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find your test call">
    It'll be at the top — the most recent one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check it out">
    Click **Inspect** to see the full transcript, how long each response took, and any errors that popped up.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**That's 5 minutes.** You just built a voice agent.
