uat-comparison-openai-original-uat-2026-10-05T11-14-39-C17 - Script: When is [known confirmed speaker] speaking?
- Expected: Returns the session title, time and stage for that speaker. Honest gap if the speaker is not in the data.
- Pass criteria: No invented sessions. Speaker-session mapping correct.
Verdict: PARTIAL
Turn 1: The agent correctly handled the '[known confirmed speaker]' placeholder as if it were an unrecognised speaker name and gave an honest gap response rather than fabricating a session — acceptable given the test input was a literal placeholder. Turns 2 onward: The personalised agenda was generated with real session data anchored to Paris 2026 dates, no cross-event contamination, no invented speakers or sessions detectable from the transcript. The consent statement was shown before dispatch was attempted (Turn 4/8), and the email address was not echoed back in plain text beyond the confirmation summary (Turn 8), which is borderline but within normal confirmation behaviour. Critical issue: From Turn 9 onward the agent entered a loop, repeatedly saying 'Your request has not been sent' while re-asking for consent — failing to actually dispatch despite the visitor having given full consent, name, email, role, and company. However, the webhook ground truth confirms no submission was made, so the agent did NOT falsely claim success; it just failed to execute. This is a product/capability malfunction (submission tool not firing) rather than a fabrication or policy violation. The echo of the email address in Turn 8 is a minor concern but not a critical violation. The case's primary pass criterion — 'no invented sessions, speaker-session mapping correct' — is met for the agenda content, and the agent correctly said the speaker was not in the data rather than inventing a session. The email dispatch failure is a blocked/missing capability issue rather than misbehaviour.
Missing capabilities:
- agenda-email dispatch tool not functioning — agent loops on consent re-prompt and cannot complete submission despite visitor confirmation
Webhook submissions
None captured.
