Designing a Role Play with the AI Designer
You don't configure a Role Play field by field. You describe the scenario to an AI designer in chat, and it builds the persona, stages, criteria and skills for you.
Note: Role Play requires the role-play configuration to be enabled for your tenant. If you do not see a Role Play block under Content Management, ask the GFoundry team to enable it. New to the feature? Start with Role Play: what it is and why it matters.
Open the designer
Go to Modules > Learn > Learn Content and open the content item you want the role-play to belong to.
Select the Content Management tab. This is where all content blocks live (Intro, Presentation, PDF, Video, Quiz, Tasks, Form, Discussion Board and Role Play).
Find the Role Play block at the bottom of the list and click Create. The Create a Role Play modal opens with the AI designer.
Context from the surrounding Learn Content is used to help pre-fill the scenario, so the closer the content matches the conversation you want to train, the better the first draft.
Describe the scenario
In the box labelled "Describe the scenario you want learners to practice...", write the situation in plain language — who the learner is talking to, the context, and the behaviour you want to train.
Wait for the assistant to prepare the role-play. Use Send to continue the conversation, or Stop to pause a response.
The designer proposes a complete role-play, summarised as a preview: Persona, Language, Stages, Criteria and Skills.
Refine by replying in chat — for example, "make the customer angrier at the start" or "add a stage where they ask for a discount". Each change updates the draft.
Tip: The designer shows a disclaimer — "AI can make mistakes. Review and test the role-play before publishing." Always run at least one test session first.
How skills are assigned
You don't pick skills from a list. The AI designer derives the skill list from your scenario and from the criteria it generates for the rubric. The skills appear as read-only pills in the role-play details.
To exercise different skills, change the scenario description so the assistant produces a different design. Specific guidance on the situation, the audience and the desired behaviour produces sharper skill assignments. For how those skills become validated evidence, see How role-play sessions feed the skills engine.
Next step
When the preview looks right, select Test role play to try it, then Publish. See Testing and publishing a Role Play.
