Agent

guava.Agent is the entrypoint for creating Guava voice agents. Create an Agent instance, attach handlers, then attach to a channel.

agent.py
import os
import guava

# Define our agent
agent = guava.Agent(
    name="Nova",
    organization="Acme Corp",
    purpose="Help customers with their orders.",
)

# Register handlers
@agent.on_call_start
def on_call_start(call: guava.Call):
    ...

# Attach to a channel
agent.listen_phone(os.environ["GUAVA_AGENT_NUMBER"])

Constructor

Use the constructor parameters to configure your Agent's persona and goal.

guava.Agent(
    # The name the agent uses to identify itself to callers.
    name: str | None = None,

    # The organization the agent represents.
    organization: str | None = None,

    # High-level description of the agent's role.
    purpose: str | None = None,
)

Handlers

Register handlers to control and react to the call in real-time.

HandlerDescription
on_call_receivedThis handler is invoked on incoming calls. You can chose whether to reject or accept the call. The default behavior if not provided is to accept every call.
on_call_startCalled when a call begins. Unlike on_call_received, this handler is invoked for both incoming and outgoing calls. Use this handler to set initial tasks and context for the Agent.
on_caller_speechCalled each time the caller speaks.
on_agent_speechCalled each time the agent speaks.
on_questionCalled when the caller asks the agent a question it cannot answer from context alone. The provided answer is relayed back to the caller.
on_task_completeCalled when the Agent completes a Task previously set using call.set_task.
on_search_queryProvide dynamic search results for a searchable Field.
on_action_request / on_actionCalled when the caller asks for a specific action, e.g. "can I reset my password?"
on_session_endCalled when the session ends.
on_reach_personCalled when a reach_person task completes.
on_outbound_failedCalled when an outbound call fails to dial.
on_escalateCalled when an escalation is triggered.

Entrypoints / Channels

Attach the agent to a channel to start receiving calls.

EntrypointDescription
listen_phone("+1...")Listen for inbound phone calls on the given phone number.
listen_webrtc("grtc-..." | None)Listen for inbound WebRTC connections to the given agent code. If not provided, a temporarly agent code is automatically created.
listen_sip("guavasip-...")Listen for inbound SIP connections to the given SIP code.
call_phone(from_number, to_number, variables?)Place a single outbound phone call.
call_local()Call the agent using your local audio device (for testing).
attach_campaign(campaign)Attach an agent to an outbound Campaign.

To attach an agent to multiple channels, or run multiple agents in the same process, use guava.Runner.
