On-topic guardrails and harassment Take Action

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 and guided AI creation

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.

Avatar cleanup and admin analytics

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 Default & Languages

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 theme & feedback overhaul

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.

Non-Verbal Roleplays

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.

Realism Scoring

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.

Live Avatars & Widescreen

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.
