Creating an AI Coach and AI Roleplay

What you’ll learn

How to create an interactive AI Coach or AI Role Play that learners can engage with through text or video, including how to define roles, tone, knowledge sources, and feedback.

Part A: Create an AI Coach

Step 1: Open the AI Coach builder

  1. Navigate to the Create tab in Creatium Studio and select AI Coach.

  2. Choose whether the interaction will be video-based or text-based.

Step 2: Define the coach and learner

  1. Name your AI coach (example: Kevin) and describe the interaction.

    • Example: Kevin is a professional coach who advises junior consultants on best practices for client interactions. The human is a junior consultant seeking guidance.

  2. Add additional context as needed—the more detail you provide, the more specific and helpful the coach will be.

Tip

Use Common Scenarios to quickly start from a proven template.

Step 3: Customize appearance and interaction settings

  • Update the coach’s background image and UI color.

  • Optionally enable the human participant’s webcam.

    • Useful for increasing engagement or discouraging off-task behavior.

Step 4: Set conversation tone and behavior

  • Define how the AI coach should behave in their tone, what they should stay first, and the guardrails they should maintain.

  • You can also set the length of the conversation in minutes.

  • Dictate how the Coach should begin the conversation by typing the opening line in the text box.

Step 5: Add a knowledge base (optional but recommended)

  1. Upload supporting materials to provide your AI Coach foundational knowledge on the conversation’s topic or to assist them in their coaching role. Documents might include handbooks, policy documents, recording transcripts, articles, and more!

  2. Instruct the AI coach how to use this content during conversations in the “Purpose” drop down section.

  1. The AI coach can automatically recommend Creatium Studio-created videos or activities with related tags and descriptions to the conversation topic if the Coach identifies a learner needs extra help during the conversation.

Step 6: Enable feedback and evaluation

  • Determine how you would like to provide feedback at the end of the conversation, either with brief, simple feedback, or a detailed rubric-based evaluation.

  • If you enable the rubric-based evaluation, you can edit each component: evaluation criteria, mastery language, and common pitfalls.

Step 7: Review and finalize your AI Coach

  1. Review the generated AI prompt and edit any section to further refine behavior or expectations.

  2. Click Add AI Coach.

Once created, you can:

  • Start a conversation immediately

  • Copy and share the coach’s URL

  • Manage access to the coach

  • Find it later under My creations → AI Coaches

  • Embed it into lessons or share directly with learners

Part B: Create an AI Role Play

Step 1: Define the AI Role Play and Learner


  • AI Role Plays follow the same process as AI Coaches, but the AI represents a conversation simulation partner instead of a coach.

  • Example use case: Create an AI character named Amy, a frustrated client. The learner is a junior consultant who is past due on a deliverable.

Step 2: Customize the role play


  • Define what the character should say and how they should respond

    • Example opening line: “I can't believe you missed this deadline, you've put us in a really difficult position.”

  • Set emotional tone (e.g., frustrated, skeptical, demanding)

  • Add knowledge base content or example conversations to guide realism.

Step 3: Enable evaluation and launch


  • Enable rubric-based evaluation

  • Review and refine the prompt

  • Edit evaluation criteria as needed

  • Click Add AI Character to start the role play
