abstract = "In this study, we developed SCAPED, a platform for running mass experiments with voice-based conversational agents. The main purpose of the toolkit is to study particular aspects of dialogues with an agent. The platform can be integrated into crowdsourcing platforms, such as Prolific as a source for participants and only requires a web browser. It can therefore be used in large-scale experiments. We present a proof-of-concept study which addresses the question of laughter accompanying apologies in a dialogues about the assessments of artworks.",
