Managed agent

A managed agent is a complete AI video agent hosted by the vendor. You choose the avatar and voice, write its objective and add your knowledge; the vendor runs speech recognition, the language model, the voice and the avatar, so there is nothing to host.

How managed agents work

You configure the agent in a web studio: avatar, voice, language, objective, knowledge files and conversation length. You then embed it on a site or share a link. Transcripts and conversation data come back through an API for your CRM or analytics.

Managed agents trade some control over each component for a much faster start.

How Beyond Presence does it

Beyond Presence Managed Agents are built in Studio: create an agent, add an objective and your knowledge, then embed it or share a link. They speak 30+ languages, reply end to end in about 1.0–1.2 s, and support knowledge bases and RAG. Plans start free with 20 minutes a month; see pricing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Managed Agents and Speech-to-Video?

Managed Agents is the complete video agent, hosted by Beyond Presence. Speech-to-Video adds only the Avatar to a voice agent you run yourself.

Do I need to code to use a Beyond Presence Managed Agent?

No. Set it up in Studio and embed it with a link or an iframe. Developers can also use the API.

How much does a Beyond Presence Managed Agent cost?

The Free plan includes 20 minutes a month. Paid plans cost €49, €149 or €349 a month with 10, 25 or 50 concurrent sessions, and Enterprise rates fall to €0.03 a minute at scale.
