Conversational AI Testing

Chatbot testing for AI that talks to your customers

Chatbot testing used to mean checking a decision tree, but your AI assistant now writes its own answers. Robonito's agents hold real multi-turn conversations with your bot and review every reply for accuracy, intent, and policy.

01The problem

Your chatbot answers confidently. Is it right?

A wrong answer from an AI assistant doesn't look like an error. It looks helpful, polished, and sure of itself, which is exactly why customers believe it.

01 / 03

Hallucinations look like answers

The bot invents a return policy or a product feature, and nothing in your monitoring flags it.

02 / 03

Context gets lost mid-conversation

It handles the first question well, then forgets what the customer said a few messages ago.

03 / 03

Every prompt tweak is a gamble

A small change to the system prompt or knowledge base fixes one answer and quietly breaks others.

Policy and safety checks

Confirm the bot stays on topic, declines what it should, and follows your rules for tone and disclosures.

  • Policy
  • Guardrails

05

Multi-turn context

06

Handoff to a human

Verify the bot escalates when it should and passes the conversation along, so the customer doesn't have to repeat themselves.

03How it works

Agent-to-agent chatbot testing in three steps

  1. 1

    Describe users and goals

    Write the scenarios you care about in plain language: who the user is, what they want, and what a good answer must include or avoid.

  2. 2

    A Robonito agent chats with your bot

    One agent plays the user and holds a real multi-turn conversation, logging every message along the way.

  3. 3

    A second agent evaluates

    An evaluating agent reviews the conversation for correctness, intent, and quality, and explains each failure.

04Real examples

Chatbot test cases teams run before every update

The refund question

A customer asks for a refund on an item bought outside the return window. The test checks that the bot quotes your actual policy instead of inventing a friendlier one.

The topic switch

A user asks about shipping, then mid-thread asks to change their delivery address. The test confirms the bot keeps track of the order they were discussing.

The frustrated customer

After two unhelpful replies, the user types "let me talk to a person." The test confirms the bot hands off and the conversation history goes with it.

05Evidence

Evidence your chatbot is ready to ship

Before you change a prompt, a model, or a knowledge source, you can see how the answers hold up.

Full conversation logs

Every test conversation is logged turn by turn, so you can read exactly where it went wrong.

Proof you get: Turn-by-turn conversation log

Evaluations with reasons

Each reply is judged for correctness, intent, and quality, with an explanation you can share with the team that owns the bot.

Proof you get: Agent-to-agent evaluation for each conversation

Before-and-after runs

07FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is chatbot testing?

Chatbot testing checks that a chatbot understands users, gives accurate and safe answers, keeps context across a conversation, and hands off to a human when it should. For AI chatbots built on large language models, it also means catching hallucinations and policy violations, since the bot writes a new answer every time instead of following a fixed script.

How do you test an AI chatbot?

You test an AI chatbot by running realistic multi-turn conversations against it and evaluating each reply. With Robonito, one AI agent plays the user and chats with your bot, and a second agent evaluates the conversation for correctness, intent, and quality. You review the flagged failures, fix the prompt or knowledge source, and rerun the same suite.

How do you detect chatbot hallucinations?

You detect hallucinations by checking the bot's answers against what your business actually says, such as your policies, prices, and product details. Robonito's evaluating agent reviews each reply for correctness and flags answers that contradict what your scenarios define as true. Running these checks after every update helps catch new hallucinations before customers see them.

Can chatbot testing be automated?

Yes. Automated chatbot testing swaps hours of manual chatting for test conversations an AI agent runs for you. Robonito's agents can run the same set of scenarios after every prompt, model, or knowledge base change, and Reporting shows pass rate and failure clusters, so your team compares runs instead of reading transcripts one by one.

What is the difference between chatbot testing and LLM evaluation?

Chatbot testing checks the whole product experience, while LLM evaluation focuses on the model's raw outputs. A chatbot test cares whether the bot resolved the customer's issue, kept context, followed policy, and handed off correctly. Robonito's agent-to-agent testing covers both: it holds the conversation like a user and evaluates each response for correctness, intent, and quality.

How do I get started with chatbot testing?

Book a demo and bring a few real customer questions your bot struggles with. We'll set up scenarios, run a Robonito agent against your chatbot, and walk through the evaluation together. In the meantime, you can start free to try Robonito's web test automation on the rest of your product.
