Synthesia expands from AI video into live AI coaching
Synthesia launched AI Roleplay Sessions, an interactive enterprise training platform where employees practice workplace conversations with AI avatars. The system provides feedback, scoring, and analytics to measure training effectiveness.
Why it matters: Synthesia built its business on AI-generated training videos; moving into real-time interactive roleplay shows enterprise AI vendors pushing past static content generation toward live, conversational AI products, a pattern also emerging in AI tutoring and customer-service agents.
