Synthesia, an AI training platform that previously focused on creating interactive training videos, launched a new product called Roleplay Sessions that allows employees to practice high-stakes conversations with an AI avatar that provides feedback and scoring. The shift reflects the belief among enterprises that real learning comes from practice and feedback rather than just watching videos or reading materials. By adding performance analytics and rubrics on top of its avatar technology, Synthesia is positioning itself as a performance-management platform rather than just an AI video company, addressing enterprise demand for measurable business outcomes from AI investments. The product is currently available to enterprise customers and will expand to smaller businesses and educational institutions as costs decrease.
