About

AI role plays that push back.

AI Friction Labs builds challenging AI role plays for teaching and learning. Students and employees explain, defend, argue, and persuade when the conversation isn't easy. Then a cognitive audit gives them a score and feedback, and they go again.

What we build

Describe a concept in one sentence and the builder turns it into a role play, or choose one from a library built by discipline in healthcare, skilled trades, business, education, and more. Bring us a situation from your course or workplace, and we'll help you build one.

Who it serves

Learners who want to practice the hard conversation before they have it. Faculty who want every student to get reps, not just the few who always talk. Trainers who want people ready for the real conversation. Institutions and organizations that want to see who is ready, with scores passed to the Canvas gradebook.
