# Why Carbon Voice for AI Agents

## One place to talk to your team. People and agents.

## Talk to agents the way you'd talk to a chief of staff  

You don't write specs for a chief of staff.  You give them context, direction, and let them run. Carbon Voice let's you work with your AI agents in the same way. Speak naturally, share the full picture, and your agent knows what to do. No prompt engineering. No keyboard required.

## People and agents, all in one place

Your teammates and your AI agents live in the same interface. Same experience, same conversations. No switching between apps to figure out who, or what, is handling something.

## All your agents on speed dial

Got five agents? Ten? Carbon Voice unifies access to start talking to your agent regardless of if it's Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, or an n8n workflow.  One-tap and you're talking to the right agent.

## One tap from wherever you are

A quick-access panel on desktop and a swipe on mobile means your agents are never more than a second away. Between meetings, on a walk, at your desk, if the idea hits, you can act on it.

---

## Voice or text, your choice
Some moments call for speaking or listening. Others call for typing or reading. Carbon Voice supports both, so you can communicate however feels right, and your agents gets it either way.

## How it works

![Carbon Voice agent message flow](../../config/images/cv_agent_message_flow_v2.svg)

The purple boxes are your agent. Carbon Voice handles the rest.

1. You send a voice (or text) message from the Carbon Voice app or quick destkop keys.
2. Carbon Voice transcribes it and delivers it to your agent or any **webhook**
3. Your agent processes the message
4. Your agent replies back in Carbon Voice where you can listen or read the response
