On-topic session guardrails Conversation Engine
Live roleplay sessions now keep practice focused on the scenario. If your messages drift too far off topic you see a warning in the transcript, and the session ends if off-topic turns continue, so time in the simulation stays aligned with the learning objective.Harassment Take Action flow Session Review
After harassment practice simulations, learners complete a guided Take Action path before feedback: recognise what happened, choose who they would tell (line manager, HR, whistleblowing, or keep it private), and record their reflection, supporting compliance rehearsal without jumping straight to scores.
Live session layout refresh Conversation Engine
During live simulations you get a clearer progress view (elapsed time and target duration), an orientation strip to open scenario context when you need it, and a collapsible side panel on larger screens. Mood is easier to read at a glance with a new ring indicator, achievements show locked and unlocked states more clearly, and ending a session now asks for confirmation so you are less likely to leave by mistake.Guided steps for AI roleplay creation Roleplay Builder
The AI-assisted roleplay builder now follows a clearer step-by-step flow, with dedicated screens for templates and authoring instead of juggling several panes at once, so you can move from idea to a ready-to-review scenario with less friction.
Interview and studio analytics Admin
Organisation admins reviewing interview and studio sessions can see persona details and non-verbal presence alongside session history and CSV exports when that data was captured, supporting fuller coaching and compliance review.Legacy HeyGen and Simli removed Avatars
The application now supports LemonSlice and LiveAvatar only. HeyGen Streaming, Simli, and their npm packages have been removed. IT firewall guidance and environment variables were updated accordingly.
Fast track as default Conversation Engine
Fast track is now the default way into a simulation, aligned with current branding and styling. Session start includes the same microphone and camera checks as other flows where applicable, so setup stays predictable before you begin.Language expansion Localisation
The platform continues to broaden language coverage — including French in the interface set alongside existing locales, additional locales where relevant, and expanded voice language options so more scenarios match your learners’ languages.
Dark mode for all sessions Conversation Engine
Sessions now use a single dark theme end to end — a deliberate branding and UI refresh so live simulations, completion, and shared feedback share the same look and feel instead of mixing light and dark surfaces.Feedback enhancements & overhaul Session Review
Post-session feedback has been reworked: the completion flow is built around the transcript, with a clearer tabbed layout for reviewing outcomes. Shared feedback matches the new design system so learners and stakeholders see the same polished experience after a simulation.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Documentation
MCP support lets teams and tools create roleplays from connected clients, with documentation and on-site copy explaining how Real Talk Studio integrates with MCP-compatible environments.
Non-Verbal Roleplays Conversation Engine
Simulations can now run in non-verbal mode — practise reading cues and responding without relying on spoken dialogue, with clear messaging during camera and session setup where streaming behaviour differs from standard voice sessions.
Conversation Realism Scoring Session Review
Every simulation session now receives an automatic realism score — a measure of how closely the AI character’s behaviour mirrors a real conversation. Admins can review scores across sessions to spot which scenarios are performing well and where prompts may need tuning.
Homepage & Practice Page Refresh Website
The homepage and practice pages now feature preview videos and direct links to example simulations, so visitors can see the platform in action before signing up.
LiveAvatar as primary streaming avatar Avatars
The platform uses LiveAvatar for realistic streaming avatars (via LiveKit). Legacy HeyGen Streaming and Simli integrations have been removed from the product codebase.Improved Avatar Appearance Avatars
Custom avatar image generation now produces more neutral, natural facial expressions and makes better use of screen space — characters look more lifelike and less artificial.Conversation Structure at Setup Roleplay Builder
Conversation flow is now generated when a roleplay is created rather than during the session, meaning faster starts and more consistent scenario delivery.EU Voice Processing Voice
Voice processing is now pinned to European servers, reducing latency for UK and European users.
Scenario Info During Sessions Conversation Engine
A new toggle lets learners view scenario context and background information during a live session without breaking the conversation flow.Improved Emotional Range Conversation Engine
AI characters now express emotions with more subtlety and variation. The mood system has been refined to avoid rigid or predictable responses, producing more authentic conversational dynamics.Reordered Scoring Dashboard Session Review
Realism scores now appear above transcript generation in the edit view, making it quicker to assess conversation quality at a glance.
Custom Avatar Creation Avatars
Create your own custom avatars for use in simulations — upload an image and generate a unique AI character that matches your organisation’s scenarios.Expanded Voice Library Voice
Browse and select from a full library of voices to find the right tone, accent, and personality for your characters.Custom Branded Share Links Sharing
Shared simulation links now display your organisation’s logo, reinforcing your brand when learners access sessions externally.
Audit Readiness Interview Simulator Conversation Engine
A major new simulation mode designed specifically for audit preparation — practice responding to auditor questions in a realistic, pressure-tested environment.Audit Readiness Landing Page Website
A dedicated landing page showcasing how Real Talk Studio helps organisations prepare for compliance audits through simulated interviews.Evidence Page Session Review
A new Evidence page provides a centralised view of completed simulations and their outcomes, supporting compliance documentation and audit trails.
Presentation Mode Conversation Engine
A new simulation type for practising presentations and pitches. Deliver your content to an AI audience that responds with realistic questions and feedback. Includes moderation controls and post-session user feedback.Interhuman Mode for Presentations Conversation Engine
Interhuman mode — where a facilitator observes and guides the session — is now available for presentation simulations as well as standard roleplays.Transcripts in Admin Session Review
Full session transcripts are now accessible directly from the site admin panel.
New tooling for generating promotional videos directly within the platform, replacing the previous static video assets with dynamic, up-to-date content.Pricing Page Refresh Website
The pricing page has been redesigned with clearer tiers including a new free plan, making it easier for teams to evaluate Real Talk Studio before committing.Homepage Redesign Website
A refreshed homepage with updated copy, new strategy positioning, and improved landing pages across the site.
Multi-Language Support Localisation
Real Talk Studio is now available in Spanish, German, and Czech, with full translation across the platform interface.Persona Image & Description in Sessions Conversation Engine
The AI character’s profile image and description now appear on the in-session screen, giving learners more context about who they’re speaking with.Policy Adherence Scoring Session Review
A new scoring dimension that measures how well the learner followed relevant policies during the simulation — available in session completion, roleplay setup, and review screens.Customer Persona Profile Roleplay Builder
A new pre-built persona type optimised for customer-facing scenarios, with an existing customer profile that adapts behaviour for service and sales simulations.
Dynamic Personalities Conversation Engine
AI character personalities are no longer static — they now shift and respond dynamically during sessions, creating more authentic and unpredictable conversations.Comprehensive product documentation is now available at docs.realtalkstudio.com, covering setup guides, network requirements, and platform capabilities.SSO Admin Improvements Admin
Organisation admin controls for SSO have been streamlined, with team-level views and conditional visibility based on your SSO configuration.Connectivity Test Admin
A new connectivity test tool helps IT teams verify that their network meets Real Talk Studio’s requirements before rolling out to users.

A new streamlined session start flow that gets learners into a simulation with near-instant setup — ideal for quick practice and repeat sessions.Assisted Turn-Taking Conversation Engine
A new “assisted mode” replaces manual turn-taking, automatically managing conversation flow so learners can focus on what they’re saying rather than when to speak.Expanded Emotion System Conversation Engine
New emotional states including “busy” have been added to AI characters, broadening the range of realistic workplace behaviours they can exhibit.
Audio-Only Mode Conversation Engine
A brand new way to run simulations — choose between avatar-based video sessions or audio-only mode at session start. Audio-only is ideal for phone-call simulations, lower-bandwidth environments, or when you want to focus purely on the conversation.Avatar or Audio Selection Conversation Engine
Learners can now choose their preferred session mode — avatar video or audio-only — when starting a simulation.New Text-to-Speech Engine Voice
Cartesia has been added as a text-to-speech provider, delivering more natural-sounding voices with expanded language support and dynamic emotional expression.Persona Gender Roleplay Builder
