# Create a Video Agent

Video Agents allow you to build AI-powered virtual assistants that communicate through both voice and video. They combine conversational AI with a digital avatar to provide engaging, human-like interactions for customer support, sales, onboarding, education, and more.

## Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

* A Weya AI account
* Access to the Weya AI Dashboard
* An existing workspace
* Any required Knowledge Bases (optional but recommended)

## Step 1: Navigate to Video Agents

1. Sign in to the Weya AI Dashboard.
2. Open the **Video Agents** section from the navigation menu.
3. Click **Create Video Agent**.

## Step 2: Configure Basic Information

Provide the basic details for your Video Agent.

| Field       | Description                                   |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Agent Name  | Display name of your Video Agent.             |
