Test Mode / Rehearsal Mode
Test Mode is a private simulation environment where creators can preview, refine, and verify how the host will conduct a session before any real attendees join.
Understanding Test Mode / Rehearsal Mode
Publishing an agentic session without testing is like launching a website without QA. Test Mode provides the sandbox to ensure quality, accuracy, and appropriate behavior before going live.
In Test Mode, you simulate the attendee experience: watching how the host presents your content, asking test questions to verify responses, interrupting to see how she handles breaks in flow, and providing feedback that refines her performance.
This iterative refinement is what separates polished agentic experiences from embarrassing failures. Test Mode puts you in control—performance is verified, not guessed. You know exactly what attendees will experience because you've experienced it first.
How Seminara Delivers This
Seminara's Test Mode is a core differentiator. Before publishing any session, you rehearse with Aura: simulate questions, verify knowledge base responses, refine pacing, and ensure she stays within guardrails. Your reputation is protected by preparation.

How long does a typical Test Mode session take?
A thorough first test might take 30-60 minutes for a full presentation. Subsequent tests after tweaks are usually 10-15 minutes focusing on specific sections or edge cases.
Can I test specific scenarios or just run the whole session?
Both. You can run complete sessions or focus on specific slides, question types, or audience scenarios. Test what matters most for your use case.
What if Aura gives wrong answers in Test Mode?
That's exactly what Test Mode is for. You identify gaps, update your Knowledge Base or guardrails, and re-test until responses meet your standards.
