Add Chat AI Questions to Your Assessments

Chat AI questions simulate real conversations in your assessments, letting you evaluate candidates' communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills interactively. The AI conducts the chat, records responses, and automatically scores them for review.

Before you begin

• You need an active Testlify workspace account.
• Have an existing assessment ready to edit, or create a new one first.

How it works

Candidate experience

1. Invite the candidate to the assessment.
2. When the candidate starts, the AI engages them in a chat-format conversation.
3. The AI records responses and submits them for evaluation.

After submission, responses appear on the candidate results page. Chat AI responses are auto-scored; you can also review and rate them manually.
