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.Empty AI Agent interface with description field and option buttons
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 clarifying questions about the scenario

Building the Scenario

Once the AI Agent has enough information, it begins building. You’ll see a progress indicator move through each stage: Analyzing Requirements → Setting Overview & Objectives → Creating Content → Building Character → Finalizing Scenario. AI Agent building scenario with progress indicators
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

Click the pencil icons next to any section to edit it. The edit panel on the right gives you access to additional settings. Edit panel showing scenario settings What you can update:
  • Audio Introduction — Preview or customize the spoken intro learners hear
  • Presentation Materials — Upload PDFs for learners to present during the session
  • Scenario Name and Description — Update how the scenario appears in lists
  • Difficulty — Adjust the difficulty label
  • Tags — Add optional tags for organization
  • Screen Sharing — Enable learners to share their screen during the session
  • Webcam — Enable video for learners during the session
Screen sharing and webcam are disabled by default. Enable them in the edit panel if your scenario requires it.

Additional Features

When creating your scenario, you’ll notice several buttons below the description field:
  • Use Template — Start from a pre-built scenario template instead of describing from scratch
  • Add Context — Include company policies, background documents, or other details that make the scenario feel specific to your organization
  • Add Attachments — Upload files for the AI Agent to reference when building
  • Voice Setup — Speak your description instead of typing
Adding company-specific context and documents 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.
