AI Actor

An AI Actor is your AI-powered interviewer. You create one by walking through a three-step wizard in the Vocalis dashboard.

Open the setup wizard

Log in to vocalis.witting.ai.
Click AI Actors in the left sidebar.
Click Create Actor.

Your AI Actors page — click Create Actor to get started.

Step 1: Actor

Define your AI Actor’s identity, how it behaves in meetings, and how it sounds.

Actor Name	A display name for your team (e.g., “UI/UX Interviewer”).
Use Case	The type of conversation — Interview, Sales Discovery, etc.
Description	A short summary shown on the Actor card.
Tags	Labels to organize and filter your Actors.

A live Preview Card on the right shows how the Actor will appear in your dashboard.
