    Pitch Perfect: Boost Performance with AI-Powered Role Plays


    Topic Overview: 

    Discover the future of training with AI-driven role-playing that turns learning into an interactive, impactful experience. In this session, we’ll show how AI can create CustomGPT personas that engage learners, simulate real-world scenarios, and drive results across any area—sales, customer service, or beyond. These personas bring unique challenges, perfect for developing critical thinking and adaptability. You’ll experience real-time voice chat, with every interaction captured for later review. By the end, you’ll not only understand the AI magic but also start creating your own solutions tailored to your training needs—because impactful learning deserves to be pitch-perfect.
