* Greeting message displays correctly

### 2. Conversation Test

Have a brief conversation with the AI:

1. Click the widget to open chat
2. Send a simple greeting: "Hello"
3. Ask a few business questions:
   * "What are your hours?"
   * "Do you have any SUVs?"
   * "Can I schedule a test drive?"

**What to check:**

* Responses are accurate based on your AI Playbook settings
* Tone matches your brand
* Information is correct (hours, inventory, services)

### 3. Lead Capture Test

Test the lead capture flow:

1. Express interest in a vehicle
2. Provide test information when prompted:
   * Name: "Test Customer"
   * Email: "[test@yourdealership.com](mailto:test@yourdealership.com)"
   * Phone: "555-0100"
3. Complete the conversation

<Warning>

</Warning>

### 4. Dashboard Verification

Check your [Vaile Dashboard](https://app.vaile.ai):

## Brand Alignment Check

Review these aspects of your AI assistant:

If anything needs adjustment, update your settings in **Setup** → **AI Playbook**.
