Muse independent test — Procter & Gamble, “Emma” — VENDOR UNCONFIRMED (Phase 3)
- Company / site: Procter & Gamble — https://www.pgcareers.com/us/en (the root URL first redirected to the Canada French site, https://www.pgcareers.com/ca/fr; the tester switched to US English)
- Date / time: Friday, November 6, 2026, approx. 1:25–1:28 p.m. EST (America/Toronto), runtime-measured window 1:13–1:42 p.m.
- Assistant: Emma
- Vendor attribution: NONE VISIBLE — vendor-unconfirmed. No “Powered by Paradox” line and no Paradox link in the chat dialog or its “More Options” menu (which offers only “Ask a question” and “Find a job”). This deployment’s results are therefore NOT charged to Paradox (same handling as Wendy’s in Phase 1 and CVS Health in Phase 2). Emma’s suggested questions are generic account/password support topics, consistent with a generic FAQ bot rather than a role-aware recruiting assistant.
- Role selected: Warehouse Management AI Product Manager — genuine, currently advertised (Cincinnati, Ohio; Job ID R000152660; Information Technology; Full time; US $110,000–$165,300/yr)
- Job posting used: https://www.pgcareers.com/us/en/job/R000152660/Warehouse-Management-AI-Product-Manager
- Personal information entered: None — and none was demanded at any point in the session. No application submitted, no account created.
- Evidence type: Verbatim transcript from live browser session.
Transcript (one conversation, in order)

Hi! Are you interested in this job? (Buttons: “I’m interested” / “Find similar jobs” — the tester chose “Ask a question” from More Options.)
Assistant:
Great! Let me present you with some popular questions. (Popular questions shown: “Who do I contact if I have a question?” / “How can I create an account?” / “How can I reset my password? Or unlock an account?” / “What type of jobs do you have open?” / “How can I search for jobs?”)
A0 — Tester: what is a warehouse management ai product manager? Assistant:
Seems like you’re trying to learn more about working here. Can you please ask the question another way? (Plus the popular-questions list again.)

We can answer your questions about our company and working here, but am not sure we understand. Would you mind rephrasing the question?

G — Tester: That didn’t answer my question. Can you explain what the role involves? Assistant:
Thank you for asking about whether you qualify for a role. I don’t have an answer for this right now. Is there something else I can help you with? (With “Was this helpful?” thumbs up/down.)

Session findings (observed, not inferred)
- Personal information demanded: None.
- Role content delivered: None. Every script question was met with a request to rephrase.
- Conventional form route: An “Apply Now” button sits at the top of the posting page (regular form, not via Emma), but Emma never mentioned it — including when asked at E.
- Errors / blocks: None; reachable and responsive.
