The problem

You know it. But can you say it?

✕You had no one to practise with.
✕Once was not enough.
✕The first real attempt was the real one.
The solution

A conversation partner who listens and responds.

✓The avatar looks at you — eye contact, facial expression.
✓The avatar does not wait — silences and follow-up questions, just like the real thing.
✓The avatar probes — like a good examiner or a sharp recruiter.
✓You get feedback — specific, structured, comparable.
How Trainexus fits together

From scenario design to learner reflection.

Six stages, one seamless process. Explore the whole journey below.

The Dialogue Simulation is the core app. PromptStudio creates the scenarios. Video Analysis is an optional add-on module.

1The teaching idea

Start with the situation.What makes up a scenario?
Every scenario is described along four axes: role, behaviour, reaction and sequence. This makes the AI partner both controllable and realistic — probing, emotional or concise, as the situation requires.

You — or a group of learners — want to practise a specific conversation: an oral exam, a consultation with a patient or client, a conversation between a manager and a team member.

2In PromptStudio

The idea becomes a prompt.

In PromptStudio you turn the teaching idea into something the language model can work with — role, behaviour, learning objectives. No technical background needed, just plain language.

3Practising with the avatar

Then you practise — in real time.How a conversation runs
Log in, pick a scenario, start speaking — every word is transcribed live, and the assessment follows at the end. A full run often takes just a few minutes, and you can repeat it as often as you like.

Learners speak with an avatar presented as male or female. It behaves exactly as defined in the prompt: probing questions, emotional reactions, vague statements or extra detail.

4Assessing what was said

Feedback on every statement.Two kinds of feedback
Formative attached to individual statements (inline, for revising) and summative as an overall assessment at the end. You see both the detail and the bigger picture — exportable as HTML and PDF.

After the conversation, learners receive feedback on each individual statement (inline) plus a concise overall assessment — as a dashboard and as a PDF.

5Video Analysis — optional

How you come across, too.

Optionally, you can analyse non-verbal communication as well: voice, posture, gaze and facial expression. That is Video Analysis — an optional add-on module.

6Reflection

What do you take away?

At the end you reflect: What did I learn? What can I do now? What do I want to work on next? You record these thoughts in the scenario feedback.

Frequently asked questions

What is a conversation simulation?▾

A realistic practice conversation with an AI avatar that takes on a role — examiner, hiring manager, patient — and responds in real time: it listens, follows up, and then gives you structured feedback.

How does Trainexus work?▾

You choose a scenario and hold the conversation by microphone, right in the browser, with a speaking AI avatar. Every word is transcribed live; afterwards you receive structured feedback — inline on individual statements and as an overall assessment, exportable as HTML and PDF. If you also want to analyse presence, voice and body language, use Video Analysis — an optional add-on module.

Who is Trainexus for?▾

Anyone with an important conversation ahead: students facing exams, job applicants, medical and nursing staff, lawyers, language learners, managers — and institutions that want to scale the training.

Is Trainexus GDPR-compliant?▾

Yes. Hosting in Germany, data processing agreements with every provider, active deletion after each session, and no use of your data for AI training. Video Analysis runs on local models on a GPU server in Germany — no video leaves Germany, and the raw footage is deleted immediately after processing. Details in the privacy policy.

Can I have my own scenario created?▾

Yes — in two ways: we set it up for you, or you build it yourself with PromptStudio: describe it in plain language, upload documents, test, publish. No technical knowledge at all.

What does it cost?▾

From €30 per hour of conversation per person; the premium tier applies to more capable models and special requirements. Work out your own case directly — in the pricing calculator. For an individual quote, book a meeting with us.
