What is a live AI skills task?

A live AI skills task is real work you complete with AI tools during an assessment, then graded on whether the result is accurate, complete, and ready to send. It is not a multiple-choice quiz about one vendor. In AgentProof, the live task is matched to your role inside a roughly 15 minute assessment, all in chat.

Live task vs quiz vs interview talk

How AgentProof uses a live task

Inside the full assessment (about 15 minutes, all in chat):

  1. Interview about how you work (adaptive)
  2. Live task of about three minutes, matched to your role, using any AI you like
  3. Three safe-use questions (client data, checking output, what not to hand to AI)
  4. Identity step (live selfie plus email or LinkedIn; see Does AgentProof use a selfie or ID check?)
  5. Certificate with level L1 to L4 and a verify link

Timing: How long does an AgentProof assessment take?. Prep: How to prepare for an AgentProof assessment. Scoring against a fixed rubric, no human review: How scoring works. Levels: levels glossary. Safe use (does not change level): Safe use of AI at work.

What "live" means here

  • You do the work now, not upload a portfolio from last year as the only evidence
  • You may use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or whatever you already use
  • The grade is about the output quality, not which logo you opened
  • The verify page can summarize the live task viewers care about without showing your raw answers (how verify works)

Recheck uses one live task too

Optional recheck later is one live task (~3 minutes). A good pass sets Last checked on the same certificate. A weak recheck changes nothing; wait 24 hours. Recheck never moves level.
