AI simulations for soft skills training

Better
conversations
start with practice.

Give students and teams realistic conversations to practice with AI, followed by feedback on what went well and what to improve. You set the scenarios and grading criteria without having to lead every session.

Built for classrooms and workplace training.

AI simulations and assessments
for education and training.

Practice, assessment, and feedback

Make practice
part of learning.

Knowing the material is a start. Learners also need to try, make mistakes, and get useful feedback. Soft Serv makes that part of your course or training program.

REALISTIC SIMULATIONS

Give everyone a turn.

Students and team members practice with an AI patient, customer, interviewer, or colleague. The AI responds to what they say, so they can practice without scheduling a partner.

AI-GUIDED ASSESSMENTS

Hear how they think.

Learners explain their answers and respond to follow-up questions from the AI. You can see how they reason through a situation and where they need help.

FEEDBACK BASED ON YOUR RUBRIC

Make the next try count.

Learners get scores based on your grading criteria, with feedback on what they did well and what to work on next.

Practice for your field

Start with a situation
they’ll recognize.

Help a student prepare for an interview, a nurse reassure a patient, or a new manager give feedback. Choose a field to explore some starting points.

How it works

You set the standard.
They get the practice.

Create an activity, assign it to your class or team, and review their work. AI provides the initial scoring and feedback so you can focus on helping learners improve.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario.

    Describe the situation, choose how the AI character should respond, and add your grading rubric. AI can help you draft it.

    Preview it before you assign it.
  2. 02

    Assign the activity.

    Learners can have a live conversation or work through a simulation at their own pace. Use guided assessments when you want them to explain their understanding.

    No practice partner to schedule.
  3. 03

    Review and coach.

    Review the AI’s rubric scores and feedback alongside transcripts and available recordings. See where someone needs help before your next conversation with them.

    Decide where to focus your coaching.

Is Soft Serv just for colleges?

No. Schools can use it for classroom practice, and organizations can use it for staff training. You create the situations and grading criteria to fit the skills you want people to develop.

What’s the difference between a simulation and an assessment?

In a simulation, a learner practices a conversation with an AI character, such as a patient or client. In an assessment, the AI asks questions and follow-ups to check the learner’s understanding. You can set the grading criteria for either.

Can we use our own scenarios and rubrics?

Yes. You choose the situation, character, instructions, and grading rubric. AI can help draft an activity, and you can try it yourself before assigning it.

Can we review the AI’s feedback?

Yes. You can review submissions, transcripts, and available recordings alongside the AI’s scores and feedback. You also choose the number of attempts and whether learners can see their results.

Do we need Canvas to use it?

No. Students and teams can use Soft Serv directly. If you use Canvas, you can also launch activities there and send grades back to your gradebook.

What does it cost to get started?

Tell us how many people you’re training and what you’d like them to practice. We’ll talk through pricing and setup during your demo.
