Voice Agents give students a conversational AI practice partner for speaking, debating, interviewing, and professional simulations. You design the mode, scenario, difficulty, and grading criteria.
Practice Modes
- Interview — simulates a job or academic interview. Supports presets (Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, etc.) or fully custom scenarios
- Debate — student argues a position against the AI; the agent challenges with counterarguments
- Practice Teaching — student explains a concept while the AI plays a questioning student
- Tutoring — student asks the AI tutor questions in real-time spoken conversation
- Role-Play — open-ended scenario for language learning, counseling simulation, or similar use cases
- Custom — fully configurable scenario with your own prompt and parameters
Creating a Voice Agent
- Go to Dashboard → Voice Agents and click New Voice Agent.
- Select a mode and configure the scenario details (company, role, topic, etc.).
- Set the difficulty level: Realistic (standard) or Tough (more challenging).
- Define the grading rubric — specify criteria (e.g., clarity, depth, accuracy, communication).
- Click Save. Optionally test the agent yourself before publishing to students.
Reviewing Student Sessions
After students complete sessions, review their full transcripts, AI-generated verdicts, criterion-by-criterion scores, and written feedback from the Voice Agent detail page.
What Makes a Voice Agent Different from a Chat Agent
Voice Agents are optimized for real-time spoken conversation. They use a low-latency AI model specifically tuned for back-and-forth dialogue, not long document retrieval. This means they are best for conversational practice — pronunciation drilling, interview simulation, debate practice, oral exam preparation — rather than answering detailed factual questions about uploaded readings.

📌 Voice Agents do not currently use your uploaded course materials. They respond from general knowledge and your system prompt instructions. For resource-grounded answers, use a Chat Agent.
