Building agents

All agents created on Bolna undergo internal compliance and safety checks.If you see a message such as “Agent is restricted due to disallowed content. Please review and update it.”, it means your agent’s configuration or prompt may have triggered a violation of Bolna’s content safety policies.Disallowed content includes (but is not limited to):
  • Political campaigns
  • Illegal activities or solicitation
  • Scam or fraud-related behavior
  • Profanity or hate speech
  • NSFW, adult, or sexually explicit content
  • Harmful or misleading information
To resolve this, please review and modify your agent’s prompt, instructions, or behavior to ensure it adheres to a valid use-case. Once updated, you can re-save the agent to re-trigger validation.
Bolna supports a wide range of customizable voice agents. From free-flowing conversational assistants to structured IVR-style bots.You can build agents for use cases like lead qualification, customer support, interviews, appointment bookings, call transfers, and more.Get started with our Agent template library or explore the Agent Studio setup guide.

Pricing and concurrency

Bolna offers transparent usage-based pricing:
  • Call pricing: $0.02/min platform fee (plus provider charges).
Please refer to the cost & pricing documentation for detailed information. For high-volume usage, explore our Enterprise Plan with customized volume-based discounts.
Your flat rate only covers a specific set of preferred ASR, LLM, and TTS models. If your agent uses a model outside that list, that component is billed separately at variable, usage-based rates instead of being included in the flat rate.Check the Add Funds panel (click the + next to your wallet balance in Agent Studio) for the current preferred model list, or see the Preferred models documentation for the full breakdown.
