This is a step-by-step guide to deploying your first AI agent with AgentErgon. No code, no IT team, no prior experience needed.
Step 1: Sign Up (1 minute)
Go to agentergon.com and enter your email. You will get an API key instantly and land in your dashboard.
Step 2: Pick Your Agent Template (1 minute)
Choose from three templates:
- Front Desk Agent — answers calls and chats 24/7, books appointments (most popular)
- Follow-Up Agent — re-engages leads who ghosted or no-showed
- Review Manager — requests Google reviews and responds to existing ones
Start with Front Desk. It delivers the fastest ROI because it directly captures revenue from missed calls.
Step 3: Enter Your Website URL (2 minutes)
Paste your website URL and click "Auto-fill." The platform scrapes your site and extracts your services, hours, phone number, email, and address. Review what it found and add anything it missed — like specific pricing, emergency availability, or service area details.
Step 4: Customize Your Agent (2 minutes)
Set your agent's name, greeting message ("Hi! Thanks for contacting Apex Plumbing. How can I help?"), and personality (friendly, professional, casual, or formal). These are one-click selections, not complex configurations.
Step 5: Test It (2 minutes)
Use the built-in preview mode to have a real conversation with your agent. Ask it questions your customers would ask. See how it responds. Tweak the knowledge base if anything is off. No conversations in test mode count against your plan.
Step 6: Deploy (1 minute)
Choose your channel:
- Website widget: Copy one line of code to your site
- SMS: Get a provisioned phone number
- Hosted page: Share a link (agentergon.com/chat/yourbusiness)
Click deploy. Your agent is live. Customers can start interacting immediately.
What Happens Next
Monitor conversations in your dashboard. See usage stats, read transcripts, and take over any conversation if needed. Your agent learns from your knowledge base — the more detail you add, the better it performs.
