Booth 518 at OLC Accelerate, November 16 to 18. Come take a rep.Start free
AI Friction Labs builds AI roleplays that push back. Students explain, defend, argue, and persuade when the conversation isn't easy, receive a cognitive audit, and go again. Have the hard conversation here first. Start free, assign through Canvas, browse by discipline.
AI Friction Labs gives every student and every employee reps at the hard conversations. AI roleplays push back, and a cognitive audit follows each rep. Assign them across a program or organization, see who is ready, and pass scores to the Canvas gradebook.
AI Friction Labs builds AI roleplays that push back, for higher education and professional training. Describe a concept in one sentence and the builder turns it into a roleplay, 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.
