Embedded Tools

Voqal Tools provide the functionality offered via the Voqal Idle Mode. Voqal Tools are a set of triggerable actions that can be used autonomously by the Voqal Assistant. By using these tools individually or in combination, Voqal can perform a wide variety of tasks. The Voqal Assistant can be programmed further via Custom Tools, allowing you to create your own tools that Voqal can then use autonomously.
