What the Playground is

The Playground is the no-code way to test an agent. You pick an agent, talk to it in the browser, and watch the transcript update live as the conversation advances - no phone number, no pipe, and no client code required. It runs the same stack production does: the agent’s flow is authored with SuperDialog (playbooks), and the call is served by the unpod AgentRunner. What you hear in the Playground is what a caller would hear.

Open the Playground

Launch the live Playground at superdialog.unpod.ai/playground and talk to an agent in your browser.
Use the Playground to iterate on a playbook (persona, checkpoints, advance rules) and confirm it behaves, then attach the agent to a Speech Pipe and a number to take it live.

How a Playground session works

1

Pick an agent

Select the agent (playbook) you want to test from the Playground screen.
2

Connect

The browser opens a session and streams your microphone audio to the speech stack (16 kHz up); synthesized replies stream back (24 kHz down).
3

Talk

Speak as a caller would. Audio rides the WebSocket bridge; the agent’s AgentRunner handles each turn exactly as it would on a real call.
4

Watch the transcript

Per-turn transcript and the current checkpoint stream to the browser over a side channel fed by Session hooks - separate from the audio path, so the transcript stays accurate even under load.

What you can test here

  • The persona and voice style your callers hear
  • Whether checkpoints advance on the conditions you wrote (done_when / advance_when)
  • Slot collection - does the agent capture what it needs before moving on
  • Interrupts (goodbye, busy) firing from any step

What is not in the Playground yet

The Playground ships in milestones. The current build is single-agent over the WebSocket transport: connect, talk, live transcript. Live metrics, the flow graph view, in-call controls, the LiveKit transport, and side-by-side agent compare arrive in later milestones.

Next steps

Quickstart

Generate your first playbook, then test it here.

Playbooks

Author the persona, checkpoints, and advance rules you test in the Playground.

Speech Pipe

Once it behaves, attach the agent to a pipe to go live.

Sessions

Persist and multiplex conversations beyond a single test.

Open the Playground

Jump straight into the live Playground and start talking to an agent.
