Your evaluation checklist
| Your requirement | Explore in Aivah | What to test |
|---|---|---|
| Answer from your knowledge | Create an employee with approved sources and instructions for its role. Knowledge and instructions → | Can it answer a real customer question and acknowledge when the source is missing? |
| Present and explain | Enable Presenter on an employee and attach one PDF or video for the audience. Agentic Presenter → | Can an audience member interrupt, ask a question and return to the presentation? |
| Take an approved action | Open Library → Connected tools, inspect the app’s actions, and assign the needed tools to an employee. Connected tools → | What permissions does each action need, and how do you confirm it worked? |
| Work where your customers are | Publish through supported links, website embeds and connected channels. Deployment channels → | Which channels are included in your plan, and what setup does each require? |
| Keep people in control | Define instructions, action boundaries and human handoff for the workflow. Trust and control → | What happens when the agent is uncertain, a tool fails or a person asks for help? |
| Measure the actual result | Review usage and activity in Insights, then improve the agent. Insights → | Can you test quality, response time and cost on your own tasks before expanding? |
Quality, speed and cost
Include short answers, detailed product questions and requests where the right response is “I don’t know.”
Measure the time to a useful answer, tool completion and handoff—not only the time to the first word.
Review the current plan limits, credit balance and renewal details in Plans & credits, alongside the features your team needs.
