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 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.
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.
EXAMPLE SIMULATION 01 / 05
A first job
interview.
“Tell me about a time something didn’t go to plan. What did you do?”
Your AI character A hiring manager
CAREER READINESS
Help students explain
what they can do.
Give students practice talking about their experience, explaining an idea, and answering follow-up questions before an interview or presentation.
- Job interviews & career readiness
- Presentations & persuasive communication
- Teamwork & conflict resolution
EXAMPLE SIMULATION 02 / 05
An anxious
patient.
“Everyone keeps telling me not to worry. But I don’t understand what’s happening.”
Your AI character An anxious patient
NURSING & HEALTHCARE EDUCATION
Practice the human
side of care.
Give learners practice listening to concerns, asking follow-up questions, and explaining next steps in language a patient can follow.
- Patient interviews & active listening
- Explaining next steps in plain language
- Conversations with concerned family members
EXAMPLE SIMULATION 03 / 05
A customer questions
the estimate.
“That’s more than the original estimate. Why wasn’t I told about this earlier?”
Your AI character A frustrated customer
TRADES & TECHNICAL PROGRAMS
Help them explain
the work clearly.
A clear explanation can make a difficult customer conversation easier. Practice discussing costs, explaining a change of plan, and staying calm when a customer is frustrated.
- Explaining an estimate or change of plan
- Handling a customer complaint
- Communicating a concern to a supervisor
EXAMPLE SIMULATION 04 / 05
A client’s first
appointment.
“I’ve never been through anything like this. Can you just tell me what to expect?”
Your AI character A client with questions
LAW OFFICES & LEGAL EDUCATION
Help clients understand
what happens next.
Practice asking questions, listening carefully, and explaining a legal process without jargon. Build scenarios around the client conversations your team needs to handle.
- Client intake & setting expectations
- Explaining a process without jargon
- Handling a conversation with an upset client
EXAMPLE SIMULATION 05 / 05
The conversation
you’ve been putting off.
“I thought I was doing a good job. Why am I only hearing about this now?”
Your AI character A team member receiving feedback
MANAGERS & WORKPLACE TEAMS
Rehearse a difficult
conversation first.
Let managers and team members try different ways to give feedback, respond to a complaint, or handle an objection before the real conversation.
- Giving useful, specific feedback
- De-escalating customer frustration
- Handling objections & negotiating next steps
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.
-
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. -
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. -
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.
