AI role-play: defend the value of advice against a price seen online

The situation

You are a beauty adviser in an independent perfumery and beauty salon in the town centre, late on a Saturday morning. A customer in a hurry stops in front of a skincare display: a €68 vitamin C serum, which can irritate sensitive skin, a €72 version for sensitive skin and a €32 SPF 50 sun fluid.

She has seen these products cheaper online, from third-party sellers outside the brand's network. You cannot offer a discount.

How does this AI role-play work?

You advise Inès out loud, a hurried AI persona who keeps coming back to the price she saw online, for up to 5 minutes.

Do I need an account to try it?

No. The trial runs directly in your browser, with no account and no credit card. Your browser only asks for access to your microphone.

What does the debrief cover?

The debrief covers how you explored the customer's needs, the link between those needs and your recommendation, the test you offered, your honesty about results, how you defended value and your close.

Can we adapt this scenario to our own cases?

Yes. With the SAM authoring tool, your trainers describe the situation and start from your documents: SAM builds the persona, the scene, the scenario and the debrief rubric, with no code. Simulations then plug into your LMS via SCORM or LTI 1.3.
