After configuring the <u>**[Simulation settings](docId\:ces120LbU8LkkWe61M12-)**</u>, the next step is to generate the character and test the experience before moving it forward for assessment or publishing.

The **Generate & Test** section brings these configurations together and creates the AI persona based on the information you have provided. You can then test the character through a **Chat** or **Talk** conversation to check how it responds and behaves. This gives you an opportunity to validate the simulation experience and make any necessary adjustments before proceeding to the next stage.

Let’s get started 🚀

Use the below walkthrough to generate the AI persona and test it:

**Info:&#x20;**&#x43;haracter generation may take approximately **60 seconds**. Once generation is complete, the character becomes available for testing.

## Next Steps

After generating and testing the AI character, continue to the **[Criteria](docId\:QFwTsv4hljTOIfx4xfTqj)** section to define how the simulation will be evaluated.
