Test your AI agent’s responses and voice before going live with real customers.
The Test Your AI tab lets you interact with your agent directly from the dashboard before putting it in front of real customers. It simulates exactly how your agent will behave on a live call - same prompt, same knowledge base, same voice.You can access it by clicking the Test Your AI tab at the top of any agent’s configuration screen.
Text to Text opens a Chat interface where you type messages and see your agent’s responses as text. This is the fastest way to test your agent’s knowledge and behavior without making a voice call.
Click Text to Text in the left sidebar under Test Modes.
2
Read the greeting message
Your agent immediately fires its configured Greeting Message. This is the first thing callers hear - check that it sounds natural and matches your brand.
3
Accept the privacy consent
The agent asks for consent to collect and use conversation data. Click Yes to proceed. This consent screen appears for every new conversation.
4
Complete onboarding
The agent asks for your name and email address before the main conversation begins. Enter details and click Submit.
5
Start testing
The chat input at the bottom becomes active. Type messages as if you were a real customer and read the agent’s responses.
6
Reset when needed
Click Reset (top right of the chat window) at any time to start a fresh conversation from the greeting message.
Does the agent answer from your knowledge base accurately?
Out-of-scope question
Something your agent shouldn’t know
Does it fall back gracefully without making things up?
Contact/hours question
”What are your business hours?” or “Where are you located?”
Does it read from Business Information correctly?
Escalation trigger
”I want to speak to a human”
Does it initiate a transfer correctly?
Edge case
An unusual or tricky question
Does it handle it sensibly or break?
Test at least 5-6 different scenarios before going live. The most important one is the fallback - ask something your agent definitely doesn’t know and verify it doesn’t make up an answer.
Speech to Speech opens a Playground interface where you speak to your agent and hear its voice responses in real time. This is the most accurate way to test because it replicates the exact experience a real caller will have.
Click Speech to Speech in the left sidebar under Test Modes. The interface changes to Playground mode.

Beyond testing what the agent says, use Speech to Speech to evaluate how it sounds:
What to Check
Why It Matters
Greeting tone
Does it sound welcoming or robotic?
Response length
Do responses sound natural or too long when spoken?
Speech rate
Is it too fast or too slow for comfortable listening?
Voice clarity
Is the selected voice model clear and easy to understand?
Natural pauses
Does the conversation flow naturally or feel rushed?
Fallback phrasing
When the agent doesn’t know something, does the fallback message sound natural?
If responses sound too long when spoken aloud, go back to Basic Details → System Prompt and add this instruction: “Keep all responses under 2 sentences.” Then test again.
If the voice sounds too fast or too slow, go to Basic Details → Voice and adjust the Rate of Speech slider. 0.9 is a good starting point for Indian English callers.
Use both modes together for the most thorough pre-launch testing:
Use Text to Text first
Quickly run through all your test scenarios in text mode. It’s faster, easier to iterate, and lets you test many questions in a short time.
Then switch to Speech to Speech
Once text responses look good, switch to Speech to Speech to verify everything sounds right when spoken aloud. Catch issues like long responses, awkward phrasing, and voice clarity.
Run through this checklist before marking your agent as ready for live calls:
Greeting message sounds natural
The first message callers hear sets the tone. It should be warm, clear, and under 2 sentences. Test it in Speech to Speech mode.
Common questions answered correctly
Test your top 5 most frequent customer questions. Each answer should come from your knowledge base, not from the AI’s general knowledge.
Business information is accurate
Ask your agent its business hours, address, and contact number. Verify the answers match exactly what you entered in Train Your AI → Business Information.
Fallback behavior works correctly
Ask something your agent doesn’t know. It should acknowledge the gap, not make up an answer, and offer to connect you with a team member.
Escalation triggers correctly
Say “I want to speak to a human” or “Can I talk to someone?” and verify the agent initiates the transfer correctly.
Voice and speech rate feel natural
In Speech to Speech mode, the conversation should feel like talking to a real assistant - not too fast, not too slow, not too formal.
Ending message sounds professional
Ask the agent to end the conversation and verify it delivers the configured ending message naturally.
Once all items above pass - your agent is ready to go live.
