People build confidence when they can practise, get honest feedback, and keep improving — without the pressure of real-world consequences.
Skillpod’s AI tools create contained, guardrailed practice spaces where learners can test decisions, practise conversations, and strengthen skills in a way that feels real — but stays safe.
These tools are designed to sit inside your learning, not replace it. They add depth, realism, and insight to what you already do.
Most workplace learning falls down at the same point:
Why AI practice works
Safe, anonymous spaces to practise real scenarios
Learners can practise realistic workplace scenarios without fear of judgement or real-world consequences. Sessions are anonymous, with no personal identification or memory of past conversations. This not only protects your data, but also creates a psychological safe environment for your team to be honest, try different approaches and learn through exploration and not performance pressure.
Our microlearning is awesome because it delivers quick, focused lessons that fit into your team’s busy schedule. Each bite-sized module is designed to be easy to understand and immediately useful, helping you build essential skills without overwhelm. Explore topics like unconscious bias, communication, and leadership in an engaging and manageable format.
But that’s not all—our library also features customisable microlearn templates. We’ll partner with you to tailor them for your people and your place, creating bespoke training that seamlessly integrates human skills development into your team's everyday reality. Let’s make learning a dynamic and integral part of your success!
Immediate, personalised feedback
Feedback is provided to the learner in the moment, based on their responses and the context of the scenario. This helps people understand what worked, what didn’t and why, while the experience is still fresh.
Realistic conversations and decision-making
Scenarios are designed to reflect real workplace conversations and decisions that might happen in your workplace. Learners are able to respond to a tricky conversations or practise making a judgement call. All through scenario's that help them to build muscle memory and confidence that will carry straight back into their everyday mahi.
Need tailored advice? Our skilled topic experts are here to help! From diversity and inclusion to leadership and team dynamics, We can connect you with our experts to provide the insights and strategies you need to tackle your unique challenges and drive your business forward.

Guardrails that keep learning focused and appropriate
All interactions are structured and constrained by clear guardrails which include defining topics, interaction limits, and learning-focused prompts. These keep the conversations on track and avoids inappropriate use to ensure the experience stays aligned to your learning goals.
Insight into patterns, not individuals
Instead of tracking individual performance, AI Practice Agents provide aggregated insight into themes and patterns across learning activity. As an L&D team you will see reporting on where people feel confident, where they hesitate, and which skills need more focus without singling anyone out or creating surveillance concerns.
Our AI tools
We offer three AI tools, depending on how tailored you want the experience to be.
Built around your organisation
Bespoke AI Practice Agent
Every organisation is different — so sometimes generic scenarios aren’t enough.
A Bespoke AI Practice Agent is designed around your internal policies, procedures, documents, and expectations, so practice reflects your real workplace.
What this enables:
- Practice scenarios that feel authentic and familiar
- Feedback aligned to your standards, not generic advice
- Safe rehearsal of high-risk or high-impact conversations
- Behavioural insight to support learning and decision-making
This option suits organisations where:
- consistency really matters
- conversations carry risk or complexity
- learning needs to closely reflect real work
You can choose to build this with us, or have the autonomy to build and evolve it yourself over time.
An easy way to add practice to learning
PodPal — Skill Practice Agent
PodPal is our ready-to-use skill practice agent, designed to sit within Skillpod’s micro-learns.
It gives learners a space to turn knowledge into action straight away — without a big rebuild or heavy setup.
Learners can:
- Step through realistic, scenario-based activities
- Try different approaches and see what works
- Receive supportive, constructive feedback
- Practise anonymously, with no memory of past conversations
For L&D teams, PodPal offers:
- Low-lift rollout
- Clear guardrails and interaction limits
- No personal data collection
- Pattern-level insight (not individual tracking)
It’s a practical way to reinforce learning and help skills stick.
From learning to doing, together
TAG — Team Activity Generator
TAG supports leaders to turn learning into meaningful team conversations and activities.
It helps teams practise skills together while doing their everyday mahi.
With TAG, leaders can:
- Choose a Skillpod topic or module
- Instantly generate a ready-to-run team activity
- Spark reflection, kōrero, and practical action
- Run sessions in under an hour, in person or online
TAG is ideal for organisations wanting to embed learning into everyday team life — not just individual completion.
Scenario tools: how practice actually happens
-
Character Scenario Role-Play
Learners practise with a specific personality type — ideal for difficult conversations, conflict, or leadership challenges.
-
Style Assessment
Questions and reflections that surface personal styles in leadership, communication, and decision-making.
-
Skill Benchmarking
Structured scenarios that reveal strengths and development areas — useful for pre- or post-training diagnostics.
-
Micro Scenarios
Short, focused scenarios with rapid feedback — great for quick practice and reinforcement.
-
Scenario Role-Play
Immersive simulations followed by diagnostic feedback, supporting skill development in communication and decision-making.
-
Example Analysis
Learners analyse real-world examples to explore best-practice approaches, particularly useful for ethical or judgement-based topics.
Safe by design
These tools are built for workplace learning, which means safety, privacy, and clarity matter.
What this looks like in practice:
- Anonymous learning sessions
- No memory of past conversations
- Clear interaction limits and guardrails
- Structured experiences aligned to learning goals
Data and privacy:
- No personal information is collected that identifies learners
- Insight is provided at a pattern level only
- Core application data is hosted in Australia
- Enterprise options can include regional data residency
This creates psychological safety for learners — and confidence for organisations.
