Organizations have begun using AI to create realistic rehearsal environments where employees can build confidence, receive feedback and improve before dealing with real customers.
Leroy Merlin France deployed Pocket Coach across eight stores for four months, allowing retail associates to rehearse realistic product conversations with an AI customer before stepping onto the shop floor. The retailer reported more confident teams, stronger sales performance and higher customer satisfaction.
DeepBrain AI introduced AI Roleplay for insurance agents, simulating claims and policy cancellation calls through voice or text. Every session is scored for pacing, clarity and tone, with managers able to track progress across entire teams.
The World Series of Poker, returning to ESPN via Omaha Productions, introduced an AI system trained on six months of historical poker footage. By analyzing posture, facial movements and blink rate, it estimates when players are bluffing—revealing the prediction only after each hand ends and turning every broadcast into a learning experience.
