Chat Playground

Chat Playground What Is Try Out? Try Out is the safe testing environment where you test and refine your AI agent's responses without affecting live conversations. Nothing you do in Try Out sends a message to a real contact or changes any active chat. Think of it as a practice room for your AI agent. You type messages as if you were a contact, see how the agent responds, tweak its instructions right next to the chat, and try again — all without any risk. Instructions you save here become a draft : the Try Out chat uses it straight away, but real conversations keep running on your last published setup until you click Publish to live in the amber bar at the top of the editor. Rewrites produced by Optimize with AI or by a thumbs-down work the same way — test the draft here, publish it when you're happy (see Optimize with AI below). Try Out shows up in three places, and they're all the same underlying test chat: Inside an AI Agent , as the Try Out tab — this is where most accounts test. Inside the guided onboarding wizard , as the Test & Adjust step, so you can chat with your brand-new agent before it goes live for the first time. Accessing Try Out From an AI Agent Open AI Agents in the sidebar, under AI Studio . Click into the Agent you want to test. Click the Try Out tab. The test chat opens straight away and runs on the Agent itself. There's nothing to attach and nothing to set up first — a brand-new Agent can be tested the moment you've written its first instruction. Each
