Synthesia, a company known for AI-generated video content, has introduced a new feature called AI Roleplay Sessions. This tool is designed for enterprise training, allowing employees to practice workplace conversations with AI avatars. The avatars provide real-time feedback, scoring, and analytics, helping companies measure how effective their training programs are.
The platform moves beyond traditional video-based training by creating interactive scenarios. Employees can engage in simulated conversations, such as handling customer complaints or conducting performance reviews. The AI avatars adapt to the user's responses, offering constructive feedback on tone, word choice, and body language.
Synthesia's technology uses generative AI to create realistic avatars that can hold natural conversations. The company aims to make training more engaging and practical, especially for soft skills like communication and leadership. Companies can track progress through detailed reports, identifying areas where employees need improvement.
The launch comes as businesses increasingly look for scalable, digital training solutions. Synthesia's approach combines video realism with interactive coaching, potentially reducing the need for human roleplay partners. The company has not disclosed pricing or launch dates for the new feature but says it is available now for enterprise customers.
This move expands Synthesia's product range from simple video creation into more complex, interactive training tools. Competitors in the corporate training space include platforms like Mursion and VirtualSpeech, which also offer AI-driven simulations.
