Once you’ve created and populated your Genius knowledge base, the next step is to connect it to your Voice Agents. This process, called “binding,” enables your Voice Agent to access the knowledge base during conversations.

​
Connecting a Voice Agent

To connect a Voice Agent to a Genius, head to the Agent Builder and click on the Genius tab. From here, you can select the Genius you want to connect to your Voice Agent. Connect a Voice Agent

​
Multiple Agents, One Genius

You can connect the same Genius knowledge base to multiple Voice Agents. This is useful when:
  • You have different agents for inbound and outbound calls
  • You want specialized agents that share a common knowledge base
  • You’re testing different agent configurations with the same information

​
Example Use Cases

Customer Service Team 
- General Support Agent → Connected to "Company Knowledge Base"
- Technical Support Agent → Connected to "Company Knowledge Base"
- Billing Support Agent → Connected to "Company Knowledge Base"
All three agents share the same foundational knowledge but have different conversation flows and specializations. Sales Team 
- Lead Qualification Agent → Connected to "Product Catalog"
- Demo Scheduler Agent → Connected to "Product Catalog"
- Follow-up Agent → Connected to "Product Catalog"

​
Switching Genius Connections

You can change which Genius is connected to a Voice Agent at any time:
  1. Navigate to the Agent Builder
  2. Select the Voice Agent you want to modify
  3. Click on the Genius tab
  4. Choose a different Genius from the dropdown
  5. Save your changes
When you switch Genius connections, the Voice Agent will immediately start using the new knowledge base. Make sure the new Genius has all necessary information before switching in a production environment.

​
Disconnecting Genius

To disconnect a Genius from a Voice Agent:
  1. Go to the Agent Builder
  2. Select the Voice Agent
  3. Click on the Genius tab
  4. Select “None” or “No Genius” from the dropdown
  5. Save your changes
The Voice Agent will no longer have access to any knowledge base and will rely solely on its prompts and conversation flow.

​
Testing Your Connection

After connecting a Genius to a Voice Agent, test it by:
  1. Making a test call to the agent
  2. Asking questions that should be answered from the Genius
  3. Verifying the responses are accurate and relevant
  4. Checking that the agent retrieves information correctly

​
