AI Project Lab: Build AI Role-Play and Coach Simulations from the AI Assistant You Already Use

AI Project Lab: Build AI Role-Play and Coach Simulations from the AI Assistant You Already Use

The AI Project Lab is a new hands-on workshop series from the AI Workgroup where participants bring their AI projects to completion through expert mentorship, focused collaboration, and practical guidance.

Date: Tuesday, October 27, 2026

Time: 6:30 - 8:00 PM ET

Location: Virtual. Zoom link will be provided after registration.

In this hands-on 90-minute lab, you will build a realistic AI role-play simulation from the AI assistant you already use every day, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini. No coding is needed.

You describe a real skill gap from your work, for example, a difficult customer call, a feedback conversation, or a sales call. Your AI assistant then helps you design the scenario and the character your learners will talk to, and it creates the simulation in Grasply for you. You will also use the files and knowledge you already have, such as your training materials, policies, or product information, to make the practice feel real.

You will spend most of the session building in small groups, then run your simulation live. 

What to Expect

In this interactive session, you'll:

• Build a role-play or coach simulation from the AI assistant you already use, with no new tool to learn.
• Use your own materials and knowledge to make each practice scenario realistic and specific to your organization.
• Leave with a working simulation that you can share with your team the next day.
