# Welcome to Rydhm

Rydhm lets you build **experts**: AI agents that talk to people by voice or text. An expert answers from the knowledge you give it, follows the instructions you write, and can take actions with tools, such as checking a calendar or calling your own API.

You build an expert once. Then you can reach it in many places: a share link, a widget on your website, a phone number, a Google Meet, Zoom or Teams call, or your own app through the API.

## What you can do with an expert

* **Answer questions from your own material.** Upload files, import your website, or add the questions you hear most. The expert answers from them and says so when it doesn't know. See [Knowledge](/knowledge/overview).
* **Sound the way you want.** Choose a voice engine, a voice from the library, the languages your callers speak, and how a call feels: turn-taking, silence handling and background sound. See [Voice engines](/experts/voice-engines) and [Voices](/experts/voices).
* **Stay inside the lines.** Set how strictly it stays on topic, the rules it must never break, and the topics it must not discuss. See [Guardrails](/experts/guardrails).
* **Do things mid-conversation.** Look up calendars, book and change events, send email, search the web, call your own HTTPS endpoints, or hand a call to a colleague expert. See [Tools](/experts/tools) and [Specialists](/experts/specialists).
* **Change safely.** Try unsaved edits in the Test panel before anyone else hears them, and restore any earlier version. See [Versions and testing](/experts/versions).
