Versioning and canary deployments for AI Agents

23, Jul 2025

We are excited to announce a major upgrade to Telnyx AI Agents: built-in versioning and canary deployments. You can create multiple versions of your agent, making it easier than ever to safely experiment, compare performance side-by-side, and gradually roll out updates using canary testing all without disrupting your production traffic.

What’s new

  • Create and manage multiple versions of your AI Agent.
  • Isolate and iterate on prompt and logic variations.
  • Compare performance across versions in real-world environments.
  • Use canary deployments to route a portion of traffic to a new version.
  • Scale up rollout based on performance and confidence.

Key benefits

  • Faster iteration: Develop and test new ideas without disrupting your production agent.
  • Smarter rollouts: Send a small slice of traffic to a new version to validate improvements before full deployment.
  • Reliable decision-making: Compare version performance across metrics and real usage.
  • Rollback-safe workflows: Revert to a known good version at any time.
  • Clear version control: Track changes, experiment safely, and maintain a clean audit trail.

Why it matters

Improving your AI Agent often means refining prompts, updating logic, and experimenting with new behavior. Without versioning, every change carries the risk of breaking existing flows. With these new versioning and canary deployment tools, you can isolate updates, compare performance, continually go back and refine each version, and ship improvements only when you’re ready. This gives you even greater confidence and control, helping you develop safely, quickly, and effectively.

Getting started

It only takes a few minutes to get started.

  1. Sign up or log in to your Telnyx Mission Control Portal account.
  2. Navigate to the AI Assistant section.
  3. Choose which AI Agent you want to edit.
  4. Create a new version of the agent.
  5. Move to the Test tab and run a test comparing the two versions of the Agent against each other.
  6. Launch a canary deployment to direct partial traffic to the new version of the Agent.
