An AI Actor is your AI-powered interviewer. This guide walks you through setting one up.
  1. Log in to vocalis.witting.ai.
  2. Click AI Actors in the left sidebar.
  3. Click Create Actor.
The setup wizard has four steps:
1

Actor — name and voice

Give your AI Actor a name and choose how it sounds.
  • Name — A display name for your team (e.g., “Screen - Backend Engineer”). Candidates do not see this.
  • Voice — Pick a voice model. Each has a different tone and feel.
  • Language, tone, and speed — Set the conversational style.
2

Purpose — the instructions

Write the instructions that tell the AI what to do during the interview. A good Purpose includes the context, the questions to ask, behavior guidelines, and evaluation criteria.Here is a simple starting point:
You are conducting a 15-minute screening call for a Software Engineer
position at Acme Corp.

Ask these questions in order:
1. Tell me about your current role and responsibilities.
2. What programming languages are you most experienced with?
3. Why are you interested in this position?
4. What are your salary expectations?
5. When would you be available to start?

Be friendly and conversational. If the candidate gives a short answer,
ask a brief follow-up to get more detail.
See Actor Purpose for tips on writing better instructions.
