Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Face Up and muchbetter.ai?

muchbetter.ai focuses on voice-based sales training. Face Up covers sales but also customer service, management, recruitment and healthcare, in voice, with an avatar or both, and gives trainers an authoring tool to build their own scenarios.

Can we start from our existing content?

Yes. Your trainers give SAM their documents (assessment rubrics, cases, verbatims, procedures) and describe the situation: SAM builds the persona, scene, scenario, debrief and cheat sheet. Everything stays editable afterwards.

Does Face Up integrate with our LMS?

Yes. Face Up connects through SCORM 1.2 and 2004 or LTI 1.3, included in every plan: Moodle, 360Learning, Docebo, TalentLMS, Cornerstone and more. Learners launch the simulation from their course and the result flows back to the LMS.
