How does this AI role-play work?

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 goes through the levers of the negotiation: valuing her before the figures, understanding her priorities, stating the budget, building a package beyond base salary and formalising the next step.

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.
