The General section is the first step of the Simulation Editor. It groups everything that frames the simulation for your learners, organized into three tabs:
About: the main information about the simulation (name, description, poster).
Intro (optional): a text-based introduction shown to the learner before the simulation begins.
Learner Brief (optional): a reference card learners can open during the conversation.
About tab
In the About tab you define the following:
Simulation name: the title of the simulation displayed to learners.
Simulation description: an explanation or summary of the simulation displayed to learners.
Simulation poster: the image displayed in the program dashboard for this simulation. You can choose or upload one from the library, or autogenerate it.
The About details are displayed in the following locations of the program/simulation display (see image below).
Intro tab (optional)
The Intro is an optional step. It provides a text-based introduction to the learner before their simulation begins.
To use it, checkmark the box “Enable introduction scene” and fill out the fields:
Title
Content
Button [name]
Learner Brief tab (optional)
The Learner Brief is an optional reference card you can attach to a simulation. Once configured, learners can open and close it at any point during the conversation to consult reference material — without interrupting their interaction with the AI Character.
Its name is intentionally generic so it can fit many scenarios, for example:
a patient chart in a clinical simulation,
a candidate résumé in a job-interview simulation,
a negotiation brief in a business scenario.
Setting up the Learner Brief
The Learner Brief follows the same pattern as the Assessment component:
Enable the card with the toggle. When it is disabled, the card is invisible to learners — no button is shown.
Card title: the header displayed to learners at the top of the panel (e.g. “Patient File”, “Candidate Profile”).
Sections: add between 1 and 4 sections. Each section has:
a title — a short label (e.g. “Medical history”, “Work experience”);
a description with rich-text formatting (bold, italic, bulleted and numbered lists, links) and up to one image.
Sections left empty are hidden from learners — they are never shown as blank.
What learners see
On desktop: a button (clipboard icon and your button label) appears in the conversation view. Clicking it opens the brief as a panel, with one tab per section. The panel is read-only and does not pause, mute, or interrupt the conversation — learners can keep talking with the brief open. They close it with the × or by clicking the button again.
On mobile: the brief opens as a full-screen overlay. While it is open, the conversation continues in audio only, and the full view returns once the brief is closed.
💡 Tip: the AI Character is not automatically aware of the Learner Brief’s content. If you want the character to reference this information during the conversation, add the relevant details to the AI Character Prompt.
