FAQPage Schema
How do I create simulation personas for testing AI agents?

Simulation personas are created through a guided setup that configures name, voice, language, background noise, and behavior. Pre-configured templates for scenarios like customer support and sales are available to streamline the generation process.

Can I stress-test AI agent responsiveness using custom personas?

Yes, you can stress-test agent responsiveness by calibrating interruption rates and wait times on simulation personas. This behavior calibration helps evaluate how your AI agent handles difficult or rapid-fire interactions.

Does the persona configuration support custom voice and background environments?

Yes, persona configuration supports custom voice, language, and background noise settings. This allows you to simulate realistic environmental conditions and vocal characteristics for your AI agent testing workflows.

How do I deploy simulation personas for automated evaluation workflows?

Simulation personas are deployed by integrating with Coval API endpoints via the Coval CLI. Once configured, personas are registered to the endpoints to run within your automated agent evaluation workflows.

What is the best way to test how a support agent handles frustrated customers?

The best way is to build a frustrated customer persona using the step-by-step configuration. You can define specific behavioral prompts and interruption rates to accurately simulate difficult interactions for your support agent.
