Time: 6:30 - 7:30 PM ET

Most organizations already have the knowledge their people need, in documents, recordings, and the experience of their experts. The hard part is turning that knowledge into skills people actually use on the job. In this hands-on session, we'll do exactly that: starting from your own material, you'll create a working AI role-play or AI coaching simulation through a simple, chat-based process, no manual scenario authoring and no course-building. You'll leave having built something you can use.

What you'll be able to do by the end:

By the end of the session, every attendee will be able to create their own AI role-play or coaching simulation based on a real use case.
