# Configure HR AI voice agents

Enable employees to complete tasks, resolve issues, and access information through a conversational experience.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_aia\_admin, sn\_voice\_aia.admin, or sn\_hr\_voice\_aia.admin

Verify you have the following applications installed:

-   [Case and Knowledge Management \[com.sn\_hr\_core\]](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/hr-service-delivery/activate-case-and-knowledge-management-scoped.md)
-   ServiceNow Otto for Platform \[sn\_genai\_platform\].

## About this task

HR AI voice agents are conversational agents designed to handle routine employee inquiries and HR transactions through voice interactions. To enable AI voice agent functionality, you must complete configuration steps on the ServiceNow® AI Platform. Then, you will activate the specific HR AI voice agents you want to deploy. If you will enable AI voice agents that use data from third-party apps like Oracle HCM, configure the integration. After activation, you can test agent functionality by calling the assigned telephony number. This validates voice interaction quality, agent responses, and integration workflows before end-user rollout.

## Procedure

1.  Perform these steps to configure AI voice agents on the ServiceNow® AI Platform:

    1.  [Install AI voice agents plugins](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/intelligent-experiences/install-ai-voice-agents-plugins.md):

        -   ServiceNow Otto for Voice \[sn\_voice\_aia\] delivers AI voice capabilities
        -   HR Voice AI Agents \[sn\_hr\_voice\_aia\] contains AI voice agents for HR Service Delivery
    2.  [Configure authentication factors for AI voice agents](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-security/configuring-authentication-factors-for-ai-voice-agents.md).
