How to prepare for an AgentProof assessment

You prepare for AgentProof with about 15 quiet minutes and the AI tools you already use. There is no special course and no vendor curriculum to study first. The assessment is vendor neutral: a live task matched to your role, all in chat, then a free certificate with a verify link.

What to have ready

  • About 15 minutes without major interruptions
  • Access to the AI tools you normally use (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or others)
  • A calm place to finish in one sitting

You do not need to buy a seat, finish a course, or memorize one chatbot's features. Timing detail: How long does an AgentProof assessment take?. Vendor-neutral overview: What is a vendor-neutral AI skills assessment?.

What you do not need

  • A paid AI course or badge stack
  • A specific vendor account beyond the tools you already use
  • A study guide of trivia questions
  • A public seat checkout

AgentProof grades what you can do on a live task, not what you watched in a video. Compare: Free AI certificate vs course certificates.

What the assessment covers

  1. A short adaptive interview about how you work with AI
  2. One live task matched to your role (about three minutes of producing real work with AI), then safe-use questions
  3. Confirming it is you, then your results

You leave with a level (L1 to L4), a private safe-use rating (Strong, Solid, or Needs work), and a free certificate. Levels: levels glossary. Safe use: Safe use of AI at work. Scoring: How scoring works. Credential: What is an AI skills certificate?.

Tips that help most people

  • Use the tools you use at work, not a new app you just opened
  • Treat the live task like real work: clear prompt, check the output, finish something sendable
  • If you aim for L3 or L4, have examples of your own advanced AI work you can paste. Without solid proof, L2 is the most you can reach
  • Plan one sitting. The product is built as a single session of about 15 minutes

Can you use AI during the assessment? Yes. That is the point. See Can I use ChatGPT during an AI skills assessment?.
