During the assessment

Can I use ChatGPT during an AI skills assessment?

Yes. You should use AI during an AgentProof assessment. Bring ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or whatever you already use. The live task is built so you work with those tools. AgentProof is vendor neutral and grades the result, not which logo you opened.

Why using AI is expected

AgentProof measures what you can produce with AI on real work, not whether you can answer trivia without help. Hiding your tools would miss the point.

You will:

  1. Chat about how you work in a short adaptive interview
  2. Do one live task (about three minutes) matched to your role, using AI
  3. Answer three safe-use questions (client data, checking output, what not to hand to AI)
  4. Prove it's you with a live selfie and confirmed email

Vendor neutral, on purpose

AgentProof does not lock you to one model vendor. Use the stack you already use at work or for clients. That is the same idea behind a vendor-neutral AI skills assessment.

Examples people bring (not a required list): ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or other assistants and agents you rely on. The rubric cares about accuracy, completeness, and whether the work was ready to send.

What "use AI" looks like on the live task

  • Open the tools you normally use
  • Do the task the way you would for a real deliverable
  • Submit the work AgentProof asks for so it can be graded against a fixed rubric
  • AI grades that work. There is no human review of your answers

Safe-use rating (Strong, Solid, or Needs work) is separate and does not change your level. See Safe use of AI at work. Levels: levels glossary.

What not to do

  • Do not treat the live task as a closed-book quiz. Using AI is allowed and expected.
  • Do not have someone else take the assessment for you. Identity uses a live selfie and confirmed email.
  • Do not paste private client secrets into tools you would not use for that client in real life. The safe-use questions exist for that reason.

Quick answers

Is ChatGPT required?
No. Any AI you already use is fine. ChatGPT is one common option, not a requirement.

Can I use more than one tool?
Yes, if that is how you normally work.

Is this open-book?
For the live task, yes in the sense that AI use is expected. You are graded on the quality of what you produce.

Will using a "better" model raise my level automatically?
No. Level comes from interview, live task quality, and (for L3 and L4) proof of your own work, against a fixed rubric. Tool brand is not a scoring factor.

Do teams pick one vendor for everyone?
No. Each person uses their own tools. The company sees totals only on the private team report. See how AgentProof works for teams.

Is the certificate free if I use paid AI tools?
Yes. AgentProof is free for individuals either way. Your AI subscriptions are separate.
