The Before / During / After legend
At the top of the page, a small legend shows the three moments in every call your genies work across:- Before the call — keep its knowledge fresh.
- During the call — look things up live.
- After the call — send the outcome onward.
Each genie’s card
Every card on the roster shows:- The genie’s own brand — its avatar, name, and colors, pulled straight from your Voice account so each one keeps its own identity.
- Its role and whether it’s currently Live or Paused.
- Three counts: Before (knowledge sources), During (tools it can use mid-call), and After (follow-up actions).
- A Manage this genie button that takes you into that genie’s own workspace to edit its knowledge, tools, and follow-ups.
Choosing which genies appear
You probably have more genies in your Voice account than you want to think about here. The Choose genies button (top-right of the page, and also the empty state when you first arrive) opens a side panel with every genie in your Voice account. Tick the ones you want to show up on the dashboard and save.
The picks stick — the next time you come back, the same genies are there. You can change the selection any time from the same button.
When there’s nothing to show yet
Depending on where you are in setting things up, the dashboard shows one of three empty states instead of a roster:- You haven’t linked your Voice account yet — you’ll see a card asking for a Help Genie Voice API key. Paste it in and the dashboard will start listing your real genies.
- Your Voice account has no genies yet — you’ll see a prompt to go build one in Voice and come back. Nothing to configure here until there’s a genie to power up.
- You’ve linked Voice and have genies, but haven’t picked any — you’ll see a friendly Pick your genies to get started panel with a Choose genies button that opens the same picker described above.
