Practice the conversations that are hardest to get right
Train difficult conversations, team dynamics, and structured candidate practice through real dialogue with an AI that plays any role you define.
1 · Difficult conversation coaching
Let managers rehearse the conversation before they have it
Performance reviews, layoffs, conflict resolution, disciplinary conversations — these go better the second time. Prisma gives a manager a realistic conversation partner to practice on, privately, before the real thing.
Create the agent
Build a character who reacts the way a real employee, peer, or client would — defensive, upset, or pushing back — with instructions on the specific situation being practiced.
The conversation
The agent responds to what the manager actually says, reacting realistically rather than following a fixed script — so the practice reflects a real, unpredictable conversation.
The feedback
The AI points to specific moments — a clear opening, a missed chance to check in, a defensive reply that could have landed better — and suggests what to try differently next time.
The analysis
Define what a good conversation looks like as variables — whether specific techniques were used, how the tone shifted, how the conversation was closed — and Prisma codes it automatically.
2 · Team dynamics and facilitation
Practice facilitating conflict before you're in the room
Mediating between departments, running a retro after a rocky project, facilitating a disagreement between two strong opinions — Prisma lets a facilitator rehearse the dynamic with an AI that plays multiple competing perspectives realistically.
Create the agent
Set up the agent to represent one or more sides of a team disagreement, with instructions on each side's position, incentives, and sticking points.
The conversation
The facilitator works the disagreement in real time — asking questions, proposing compromises — while the agent holds its position the way a real stakeholder would.
The feedback
The AI reviews how the facilitator managed the disagreement — where common ground was found, where a proposal remained too vague to act on — and writes up what worked.
The analysis
Score the facilitation as variables — whether a concrete next step was agreed, how many times each side's concern was acknowledged — so a training program can compare across sessions.
3 · Structured candidate conversations
A consistent, structured conversation to support — not replace — your hiring judgment
Prisma runs a structured practice conversation with a candidate or with your own interviewers rehearsing beforehand. It produces a transcript and optional coded notes — one input for a human decision-maker on your team, never an automated hiring decision.
Create the agent
Set the agent up as an interviewer covering exactly the questions and follow-ups your process calls for, so every conversation covers the same ground.
The conversation
The agent asks the structured questions and follows up when an answer is vague or incomplete, the same way across every conversation.
The feedback
The transcript and a plain-language summary go to your hiring team — context for a conversation a person still leads and decides on.
The analysis
Code the conversation against the criteria your process already uses — as a structured, consistent starting point for the humans making the actual call.
