Game-based simulation training firm Attensi claims first with launch of AI powered RealTalk solution

This post was originally published on this site.

Using a combination of Agentic AI, AI freeform dialogue, voice recognition, and bespoke simulation design, it takes users into real-time conversations in roleplay scenarios that feel true to life in their job, enabling them to practice and improve their interpersonal skills in even the most challenging, uncomfortable, and nerve wracking situations.

RealTalkers are engineered to feel real and push back when challenged. They are individually programmed to have realistic personality traits, human expressions, and character nuances.

They can make you feel nervous and put you under pressure or shut down and close up if you push them too far, allowing you to practice EQ skills before in-person conversations.

Trainees can start in guided mode and progress to the more challenging open mode option.

Trond Aas, CEO at Attensi, says: “AI is an ally rather than a threat to employees. Our human skills and EQ, particularly soft skills and interpersonal skills, are more important than ever. We know that people want more help with difficult conversations and Attensi RealTalk is the perfect partner.”

“One of the most important use cases for AI is to upskill employees at scale in these areas.”

“Employers need to embrace the power of AI and adopt the right AI tools to help their employees grow and excel, close skills gaps, and adapt to change. Attensi RealTalk is a gamechanger in workplace training.”
