Research abstract

Delta AIĺs training platform allows trainees to simulate realistic, high-impact conversations with an AI agent. We leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) along with text-to-speech (TTS) and speech-to-text (STT) models to produce an AI agent that can listen, think, and speak to the trainee in real-time. Once a trainee completes a scenario, an LLM evaluates the traineeĺs performance and provides instantaneous and consistent feedback based on a custom rubric.áDelta AI supports administrators, managers, and trainees by facilitating the creation, customization, and assignment of interactive training scenarios. Managers can leverage pre-built scenarios ináLeadership,áNegotiation, andáRecruiting, or create custom scenarios using our Automated Scenario Generation tool. Trainees interact with the AI through text or voice to achieve scenario-specific goals, which are tracked in real-time. Performance is evaluated using metrics such asáBuilding Rapport,áHandling Objections, andáSpeaking Ratio, with detailed feedback and actionable insights provided. Planned enhancements include advanced evaluation capabilities such as tone analysis, facial expression, and body language assessments, along with targeted learning recommendations to address skill gaps.áOur AI-based scenario training solution is accessible via computer or smartphone, offering a scalable, cost-effective alternative to traditional training. It enables training at any time or place, providing repeatable and consistent exercises tailored to individual users. Paired with our Automated Scenario Generation tool, Delta AI ensures a technically feasible and scalable way to deliver high-quality, scenario-based training and evaluation. We aim to match the quality of human roleplaying partners while guaranteeing consistency across all trainees, ultimately transforming how organizations approach professional development.
