### Answer
 

No, you don't need to define what the keyword means. [(1) ](<https://docs.retellai.com/api-references/list-agents>) [(2) ](<https://docs.retellai.com/api-references/create-agent>)

The `boosted_keywords` field is simply a list of words/phrases to bias the transcriber model so those words are more likely to be transcribed correctly. 

```javascript
["retell", "kroger"]
```
[(1) ](<https://docs.retellai.com/api-references/list-agents>)

It's commonly used for names, brands, street names, etc. [(1) ](<https://docs.retellai.com/api-references/list-agents>) [(2) ](<https://docs.retellai.com/api-references/create-agent>) You just provide the keywords as strings—no definitions or meanings are required.
