Scenario Studio is Exec’s scenario creation experience, powered by an AI Agent that helps you build roleplay scenarios by describing what you want in plain language. Instead of filling out forms or navigating complex menus, you simply tell the AI Agent what skill you want learners to practice, and it handles the rest.

Getting Started

1

Navigate to Roleplays

From your dashboard, click Roleplays in the left sidebar.Roleplays dashboard showing recent scenarios and Created By Me section
2

Click Create

Select the + Create button in the top right corner. This opens Scenario Studio.Scenario Studio with the Describe the scenario prompt and Template, Source, and Session settings options
3

Describe your scenario

In the text field, describe the scenario you want to create. Focus on the skill learners should practice and the situation they’ll face.Example: “I want to create a scenario where a manager practices delivering constructive feedback to an employee who tends to get defensive.”

The Creation Process

Clarifying Questions

The AI Agent may ask follow-up questions to make sure it understands what you’re looking for. Answer naturally — no special format needed. The more specific you are, the better your scenario will be. AI Agent asking a clarifying question about the scenario

Building the Scenario

Once the AI Agent has enough information, it begins building. The Studio opens with a preview panel on the right that fills in section by section — Scenario Summary, Scenario Objective, Evaluation Criteria — while you watch.

Scenario creation typically takes 1–2 minutes.

Reviewing Your Draft

When the scenario is ready, a preview panel appears on the right side of the screen showing the Scenario Details and Character Details. Take a moment to scroll through and review:
  • Situation Dynamics — The background context and circumstances
  • Your Objective — What learners should accomplish
  • Outcomes to Avoid — Common mistakes to watch for
  • Evaluation Criteria — How learner performance will be assessed

Testing and Publishing

Once your draft is ready, you have two options: Try Now — Enter the scenario as a learner to verify the AI character feels realistic and the difficulty level is appropriate. If something doesn’t feel right, continue chatting with the AI Agent to adjust. Publish — Finalizes the scenario and makes it available in your Roleplays dashboard under “Created By Me.” Publishing takes just a few seconds.
Use Try Now at least once before publishing, especially for scenarios you plan to assign to others.

After Publishing

Once published, your scenario is ready to use. Published scenario page with character card and Begin Session button From here you can:
  • Begin Session — Practice the scenario yourself
  • Assign — Send to specific people with a due date and minimum score requirement
  • Share — Send to others without requirements, letting them complete it at their own pace

Editing a Published Scenario

Open the scenario, click the three-dot menu (⋯) in the top-right, and select Edit Scenario — or click any pencil icon on the page to jump straight to that section. Both routes open the scenario back up in the Scenario Studio, where you can refine any aspect of it:
  • Scenario description, introduction audio, difficulty, and tags
  • The full scenario body (situation, objective, outcomes, evaluation criteria)
  • Character identity, voice, opening line, backstory, and personality
  • Session settings (webcam, screen share, language, cold call, presentation)
  • Advanced settings like Conditional Context
Scenario Studio opened for editing with agent chat on the left and live preview on the right Edit fields inline by clicking the pencil next to any section, or describe a change to the agent (“make the character more skeptical about budget”). When you’re done, click Apply Changes to save back to the same scenario — there’s no need to remix or republish. See Edit a Scenario for the full walkthrough.

Additional Features

Below the description field you’ll see four options that shape what the AI Agent has to work with:
  • Template — Start from a pre-built scenario template instead of describing from scratch
  • Source — Pull in supporting material the agent should reference while building. You can browse the Knowledge Hub, upload a file directly, or import from Notion, Guru, or Google Drive — all in one menu.
  • Session settings — Configure language, webcam, screen share, cold call, and presentation before you build. These can also be changed later from the Studio.
  • Voice Setup — Speak your description instead of typing (mic icon next to the send button)
Create flow with the Source menu open showing Browse Knowledge Hub, Upload File, and Import from Notion / Guru / Google Drive
Adding company-specific sources helps create scenarios that feel immediately relevant to your learners, rather than generic exercises.

Best Practices

Start with the skill. Define what learners should be able to do after practicing. “Use the SBI framework to deliver feedback” is more actionable than “have a hard conversation.” Keep scenarios focused. Aim for sessions around 10 minutes. One core skill per scenario creates focused, repeatable practice that’s more effective than long, complex sessions. Build from your real world. The best scenarios reflect situations that actually happen at your organization — real contexts, terminology, and challenges your learners face. Test before publishing. Experience the scenario yourself using Try Now to verify the character responds realistically and the difficulty level matches your audience.
