Overview

Description

AgentConfig is a Pydantic model that defines the core configuration for a conversational AI agent in the ElevenLabs Python SDK. It encapsulates the fundamental settings that determine how an agent initiates and conducts conversations, including the first message, language settings, dynamic variable configuration, and the agent's prompt definition.

This model is auto-generated by Fern from the ElevenLabs API definition and inherits from UncheckedBaseModel. It supports both Pydantic v1 and v2 and is configured as a frozen (immutable) model with extra fields allowed.

Usage

AgentConfig is used when creating or updating conversational AI agents via the ElevenLabs API. It is typically nested within larger agent configuration structures such as ConversationalConfig. The model controls the agent's greeting behavior, language, and prompt-level configuration.
