How do handoffs work in a squad?

Handoffs are defined using specialized tools with destination IDs and descriptions that tell the LLM exactly when and why to transfer the caller to another assistant.

What is a Vapi Squad?

A Vapi Squad is a collection of specialized AI assistants designed to work together, handing off calls to one another based on specific user needs to improve accuracy and reduce latency.

Can I use existing Vapi assistants in a new squad?

Yes, squads can reference persistent assistants by their ID and even apply squad-specific overrides to their voice, transcriber, or tool settings without changing the original assistant.

Why use multiple assistants instead of one large prompt?

Single assistants with large prompts often suffer from higher hallucination rates and increased latency; squads break tasks into smaller, focused roles for significantly better performance.

API Development

Builds multi-assistant squads for Vapi AI to enable seamless handoffs between specialized voice agents.

This skill empowers developers to construct complex voice AI workflows by orchestrating squads of specialized Vapi assistants. Instead of relying on a single, over-encumbered agent, it facilitates the creation of focused assistants—such as Triage, Sales, or Support—that can intelligently transfer calls while preserving context. By using handoff tools and member overrides, this skill helps reduce latency and hallucination rates, ensuring a reliable and professional voice experience for high-stakes environments like healthcare scheduling or enterprise customer service.
