# Try Your Assistant

> Rasa Studio — Try Your Assistant

**Try your assistant** in Rasa Studio provides powerful tools to test and inspect how your trained assistant behaves. Whether you're reviewing the logic behind a conversation or converting an interaction into a test, this feature helps ensure everything works as expected.

## Before You Start

Make sure your assistant has been trained at least once.

> Need help? [See the training guide](/docs/studio/test/train-your-assistant) for more information on how to train your assistant.

## Starting a Conversation

To access the **Try your assistant** page:

1. Click **Try your assistant** in the left-hand navigation of Rasa Studio.
2. If your assistant supports multiple languages, choose one from the dropdown.

   Want to switch versions? Go to **Assistant Versions** and click the chat icon next to the version you want to test.

Once ready, start the conversation by sending a message.

## Switching Between Chat and Voice

If your license includes voice capabilities, you can switch between chat and voice modes:

1. Use the toggle above the message input to switch to voice. Then click "Call".

2. Allow microphone access, speak to your assistant, and view real-time transcripts in the chat panel. Currently, voice input is limited to English.

3. By default, Studio uses Deepgram for speech-to-text (STT) and Cartesia for text-to-speech (TTS). You can customize this setup and choose a different provider outside of Studio. [Learn more about building voice assistants](/docs/pro/build/voice-assistants)

## Activate Assistant Version

The assistant version will be inactive after one hour or when the maximum number of active assistants is reached. To reactivate and test it, go to **Assistant versions** and click the arrow icon. Once reactivated, you can test the version again.

## Basic Mode: Live Flow Preview

Basic Mode is the default mode when testing. It provides:

* A live chat interface
* A **Live Flow Preview** panel that shows your assistant moving through different conversation paths

Use this mode to quickly check if your assistant follows the correct logic.

## Inspector Mode: Debugging and Insights

Toggle **Inspector Mode** (top right corner) to unlock deeper insights:

## Speed Up Testing

Beyond analysis, Inspector also provides tools to speed up your conversation testing workflow.

#### Conversation Replay

1. Select the **Replay** icon next to a "Waiting for user input" event. This will trigger the conversation to replay back that point.
2. Try out different inputs for testing different outcomes of the conversation.

#### Generate Tests from Chat

Once you're happy with a conversation, you can export it to **share with your team**, or **generate a test case** for your assistant.

Select the menu icon in the top right of your conversation panel.

* **Download logs** if you'd like to review the full deployment logs of your running assistant.
* **Download conversation** — Saves your conversation as a YAML transcript. When your assistant has a Studio-managed language slot, the file includes a `language` field identifying the language the conversation was in.
* **Download E2E Tests** If you'd like to save your conversation and use it as an **end-to-end (E2E) test** to validate assistant behavior.

For more details on the testing format and how to run E2E tests as part of your workflow see the [Pro guides for testing](/docs/pro/testing/evaluating-assistant).
