> Shape how the agent thinks and talks, its role, its voice, and the business details it speaks from.

Behavior is where you set the agent's personality. Knowledge decides what it knows; Behavior decides how it uses that knowledge and how it sounds. Open **Behavior** from the top navigation.

At the top of the page a plain-English summary sentence describes the current setup, with the key choices highlighted, so you can read the agent's personality at a glance. A health pill tells you how complete the setup is, from Not set up through to Tuned.

## Identity

This is who the agent is.

* **Name** is shown here but you edit it in [Experience](/docs/experience/identity-and-launcher). The name lives in one place so it never gets out of sync.
* **Role** sets the job: Support, Sales, Lead qualification, Product, or Custom. The role shapes how the agent frames answers. A support agent explains and reassures; a sales agent nudges toward a next step.
* **Voice** sets the tone: Friendly, Professional, Concise, Detailed, or Fun. Pick the one that matches how your brand talks.
* **Description** is a short blurb about your business. It gives the agent context for its opening line and how it introduces itself.

## Business contact details

Give the agent your real contact details so it can share them when a visitor asks:

* Email
* Phone
* Website URL
* Meeting or booking link

The agent uses these when someone wants to reach a human or book time, so keep them current.

## What lives elsewhere

Four things you might expect here live on their own pages:

* **Hard rules and custom instructions** are in [Instructions and rules](/docs/behavior/instructions-and-rules).
* **Topic boundaries** are in [Topic boundaries](/docs/behavior/topics-and-language).
* **Language** moved to [agent settings](/docs/agent-settings/language).
* **Resolution feedback** moved to [Capabilities](/docs/capabilities/resolution-feedback) — it puts something on screen for the visitor, so it belongs with the other capabilities rather than with the agent's personality.
