In corporate learning, one of the biggest challenges is scale versus personalization. How do you deliver rich, tailored learning experiences—without overwhelming your team or relying on one-size-fits-all content?

With the launch of AI Activity, Intrepid is solving that challenge head-on. This new capability, built directly into the Intrepid platform, brings the power of Generative AI into the flow of collaborative learning—giving L&D teams the tools to build human-centered, adaptive learning experiences at enterprise scale.

This isn’t about adding AI for novelty. It’s about using it to amplify what already works: real-world practice, meaningful feedback, and social learning. It’s a smarter approach to AI in learning and development.

Smarter Learning Design—Without the Complexity

Creating a custom roleplay, coaching activity, or adaptive scenario can often require complex branching logic, tedious coding, and significant development time.

AI Activity changes the game.

Now, you can describe the learning experience you want in a simple prompt—no coding, no branching—and the AI brings it to life. Whether it’s a tough conversation for new managers, a reflection activity grounded in company values, or an AI coach trained on your policies and content, it’s all possible within minutes.

This is learning design made faster, smarter, and more scalable—without compromising on relevance or quality. By combining our strengths in cohort learning with cutting-edge AI for learning and development, Intrepid empowers L&D teams to build experiences that are both human-centered and AI-enhanced.

Why It Works: Grounded in How People Actually Learn

What sets AI Activity apart isn’t just that it uses AI—it’s how it uses it. Every interaction adapts in real time based on the learner’s input. That means no two learner journeys are identical. Feedback is personalized. Scenarios evolve. And insights are immediate.

What makes AI Activity powerful?

  • Real-time adaptation — Every learner’s experience evolves based on their input.
  • Personalized feedback — The AI can coach, guide, challenge, or support.
  • Custom evaluation — It can score responses, offer improvement tips, and assess performance.
  • Text and voice — Learners can interact with the activities via text or voice (voice capability coming mid-summer).
  • Built-in insights — Every interaction gives you rich, actionable learner data.
  • Contextual intelligence — Upload documents or connect to existing class resources so the AI can respond using your real content, policies, or frameworks.

L&D teams also gain access to rich, actionable data: full transcripts, performance scores, common response patterns, and flagged skill gaps. These insights help facilitators provide targeted coaching and inform strategic decisions. shared space. It’s a fully connected learning journey—from practice to peer feedback to results.

This is AI for training and development that adapts to your people, your programs, and your pace—while staying seamlessly integrated with your broader learning journey.

Learners can download the transcript of their interactions, and admins can download all interactions to get an in-depth look at how learners are applying the skills you are teaching. 

Not Just Another Feature—A Strategic Advantage

Early customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. L&D leaders call AI Activity “intuitive,” “high-impact,” and “exactly the kind of innovation we need.”

What makes it so effective is that it doesn’t live in isolation. It’s layered into the Intrepid platform’s proven model of practice, application, and social learning—enhancing what’s already working rather than creating yet another tool to manage.

With this AI tool for learning and development, you’re not just generating simulations. You’re transforming learning into something that feels authentic, actionable, and deeply personal—all at scale.
