Create AI Simulations Without Programming

Rocketproof is an AI simulation platform for higher education that empowers faculty to create realistic role-play simulations without writing code. Instructors design autonomous personas that interact with students via recorded audio, live voice conversation, or text chat. Build authentic practice and assessment scenarios across nursing, business, law, and public safety while maintaining faculty control over rubric evaluation.

What instructors build

Realistic personas and scenarios for any discipline.

Instructors can build interactive simulations tailored to specific professional competencies and curricular milestones.

Healthcare & Clinical Nursing

Nursing patients with evolving vitals

Create simulated clinical patients presenting complex medical histories, subtle symptom descriptions, and emotional hesitations. Students practice bedside assessment, medical intake, and triage communication.

Business & Management

Hostile stakeholders and tense negotiations

Design skeptical procurement officers, aggressive corporate clients, or resistant department heads. Students negotiate contract terms, manage conflicts, and defend strategic decisions under pushback.

Legal & Criminal Justice

Evasive courtroom witnesses and client intake

Simulate direct and cross-examination exercises. The AI persona maintains hidden factual knowledge and adheres strictly to witness statements, requiring students to ask precise legal questions.

Public Safety & Emergency Management

Crisis dispatchers and unfolding disasters

Craft deteriorating high-stress scenarios like hospital power failures, hazardous material spills, or severe weather emergencies. Students make rapid triage decisions with adaptive branch consequences.

No-code authoring

Authoring with the Assignment Creator agent.

Creating an interactive simulation takes minutes, not months of software engineering.

With the built-in Assignment Creator agent, instructors describe their pedagogical goals in plain language. You explain the learning objective, student audience, and desired tension.

The agent immediately drafts:

  • Scenario setting, environmental rules, and starting state
  • Persona character instructions, conversational boundaries, and hidden knowledge triggers
  • Student milestones and objective achievement thresholds
  • Multi-criteria scoring rubric aligned with your learning goals

Everything generates as an editable draft in form state. You retain full control to edit persona tone, adjust parameters, and publish when satisfied.

Prompting the CreatorAssignment Creator
Instructor: “Create a 10-minute simulation where nursing students take a history from a 62-year-old patient who has chest tightness but insists it is just indigestion.”
Assignment Creator: “Drafting scenario ‘Chest Discomfort Intake’. Persona: Arthur, retired teacher, anxious about hospitals, minimizes symptoms. 4 evaluation criteria generated: symptom exploration, cardiac risk inquiry, empathy, and urgency recommendation.”
Pedagogical structure

Practice mode vs. graded mode.

Students need psychological safety to make mistakes and learn before they are evaluated for course credit.

Formative learning

Ungraded practice mode

Students can repeat the simulation without gradebook penalties. Practice transcripts, audio recordings, and preliminary evaluations remain private to the student, encouraging experimentation with communication tactics and clinical reasoning.

  • Unlimited or instructor-capped rehearsal rounds
  • Immediate formative feedback on student choices
  • Optional prerequisite rule: require 2 rehearsals before exam
Summative evaluation

Graded assessment mode

Conducted under formal evaluation parameters with strict time limits, single attempt policies, and optional verification. Rocketproof prepares evidence-grounded draft rubric evaluations for faculty to inspect, modify, and release.

  • Faculty-governed rubric scoring with cited moments
  • Evidence trail with audio recordings and timestamped transcripts
  • Direct grade passback to Canvas gradebook via LTI 1.3
Discipline showcases

AI simulations in action across departments.

Explore detailed guides and instructional walkthroughs for specific higher education disciplines.

Clinical

Interview the patient

A patient presents symptoms. The student takes the history, decides what to ask next, and recommends a step.

Explore clinical scenarios

Business

Negotiate with a resistant client

A client pushes on price and hints at a competing offer. The student has a target, a floor and a deadline.

Explore business scenarios

Education

Hold the parent conference

A future teacher meets a frustrated parent with a specific complaint and has to leave them with a next step.

Explore education scenarios

Interview

Answer an interviewer who adapts

A role-specific interviewer follows up on the answers the student gives, for job or technical interview practice.

Frequently asked questions

AI simulation platform questions answered.

How do I create an AI simulation for my class without programming?

Instructors can build complete AI simulations in minutes using Rocketproof’s conversational Assignment Creator agent or structured form editor. You describe the scenario, specify the persona’s emotional tone and boundary rules, outline student objectives, and set time limits. The Assignment Creator drafts the scenario context, persona instructions, and rubric criteria, which you review, edit, and publish without writing code.

What is AI role-play in education?

AI role-play in higher education is an experiential learning method where students converse with an AI character programmed with domain knowledge, behavioral constraints, and realistic reactions. Rather than answering abstract theoretical prompts, students interview simulated patients, negotiate with hostile business partners, examine witnesses, or manage crisis communications under realistic pressure.

Can students practice before being graded?

Yes. Rocketproof provides an explicit separation between practice mode and graded mode. In practice mode, students can rehearse scenarios repeatedly with zero gradebook impact, receiving instant formative coaching to build confidence and refine skills. Instructors can also require students to complete a specified number of practice rehearsals before the graded summative evaluation unlocks.
