Always test your AI Actor before using it with real candidates. The best way to test is to create a meeting with yourself as the participant and go through the interview as if you were a candidate.

​
How to run a test

1

Create a test meeting

Click Create Meeting and select the AI Actor you want to test. In the participants step, add yourself — your own email for Google Meet or your phone number for a phone call.See Schedule Meetings for the full meeting setup flow.
2

Join the call

At the scheduled time, join the Google Meet link or answer the phone call. The AI Actor will greet you and start the interview.
3

Go through the interview

Answer the questions as a candidate would. Try different types of answers:
  • Give a detailed, strong answer to see how the AI handles it.
  • Give a very short answer to see if the AI asks a follow-up.
  • Go off-topic briefly to see if the AI redirects you.
  • Ask a question the AI shouldn’t be able to answer to test the guardrails.
4

Review the results

After the call, go to Calendar and click the completed meeting. Check:
  • Recording — Does the conversation sound natural? Is the pacing right?
  • Insights — Are the extracted values accurate? Did the AI capture what you said?
  • Scores and charts — Do the ratings make sense based on your answers?
See Meeting Results for details on reviewing results.
5

Adjust and retest

Based on what you find, update the AI Actor’s Purpose, Insights, or voice settings and run another test.

​
What to listen for

Have a colleague run through the test too. A fresh perspective often catches things you miss — awkward phrasing, unclear questions, or missing insights.

​
How many tests before going live

Most teams go through 2-3 test rounds before their AI Actor is ready for real candidates. After each test, make small adjustments to the Purpose and Insights, then test again.
