Every scenario in SimChat is assigned an AI behaviour. AI behaviours define how the AI acts during the interaction and how the learner is assessed. They allow your organisation to create structured, predictable learning experiences tailored to specific communication tasks. SimChat creates four default AI behaviours for each organisation when it is set up. Administrators can also create custom AI behaviours to meet their own training requirements.

Administrators can create new AI behaviours to support discipline-specific or organisation-specific training. Custom AI behaviours allow you to define how the avatar acts once, and then reuse it across many scenarios.
