## Simulation with AI Lens Aisera AI Lens is a tool that allows Administrators to simulate their conversational bot with a webchat channel.\ \ **NOTE:** If you are a user with a custom role, make sure your role has at least the following permissions, which are required to view conversations with AI Lens: * `intent` – **Read** * `channels` – **Read** * `AiseraGPT` – **Read** ### Getting Started * Webchat channel is the default channel associated with the bot * Select correct bot * Login with a user ### Conversation Window AI Lens lets you simulate the interaction with your bot. The simulated input **Requests** are not captured within the **Request Details** page. AI Lens is similar to runtime analysis.

**To use AI Lens:** 1. Choose **AI Lens** in your Aisera Admin UI. 2. Select your bot from the pull-down list at the top of the **AI Lens** window. You will see a bot interface on the AI Lens window. 3. Add a **Request**. (AI Lens requests will not be recorded in Aisera analytics.)

4. After you add a **Request**, you will see the bot functions on the right side of your window.

### Debug Workflows and Hyperflows Using AI Lens You can use AI Lens to see the debug information for your bot’s workflows and hyperflows while the bot is running. **To see the debug information for your bot workflow or hyperflow:** 1. Perform Steps 1-4 in the section above. 2. Choose the **Show More** link to see the **flowDebugInfo** and **flowDebugInfo2** methods as they are running.

The **flowDebugInfo** and **flowDebugInfo2** methods are the logs created while your workflow or hyperflow runs.

{% hint style="warning" %} You can also test Workflows and Hyperflows using the [**Test the Node**](/aisera-platform/what-can-my-bot-do/ai-automation-optimize-flow/ai-workflow-studio/testing-workflows.md#pdf-page-bwlrvkqhijiqw0zetekc-best-practices) button on the **AI** **Automation > AI Workflow Studio window.** {% endhint %} ### Fulfillment Source Per Application/Bot Version When you run the AI Lens simulation, you are seeing the logs from the conversation server. The AiseraGen AI platform has two different conversation services - the first one (sometimes called the Conversation Server) was for the 1.0 version applications/bot, and the second (sometimes called the ConvAI Server) is an LLM conversation service (that automatically runs a RAG index is for 2.0 application/bots). #### The Conversation Server for 1.0 Applications/Bots If you are simulating/testing a **1.0 Version** application/bot, the **Fulfillment Source** field in AI Lens will contain one of the options that you chose as a source when you created the application/bot. When the conversation 1.0 application/bot is running, the conversation server tries a couple of the fulfillment engines to answer the user Request, and the AI Lens will display the engine where the answer was found.

#### The Conversation Server for 2.0 Applications/Bots If you are simulating/testing a **2.0 Version** application/bot, the **Fulfillment Source** field in AI Lens will display **`ReasoningEngine`**.

When 2.0 applications/bots are running, the conversation server will only use the Reasoning Engine from the rag service to do the routing. ### AI Lens with Copilot Applications Applications/bots that are using the Copilot channel default to Copilot mode in AI Lens. Applications without a Copilot channel correctly default to Webchat mode.
