Friendly avatar selected.
Meet Grace.
Grace is a live demonstration of Live AI Avatars designed for realistic communication practice. Grace is just one of dozens.
Each Live AI Avatar can portray a range of emotions and reactions, reflecting the variety of individuals we communicate with in clinical, educational and professional settings.
Unlike scripted simulations, Live AI Avatars respond to the learner in real time.
A character may be anxious, frustrated, guarded, receptive or uncertain, creating opportunities to recognize emotions, adapt communication and build confidence in challenging conversations.
Purpose-built tools help learners prepare for realistic clinical conversations and understand exactly how to improve afterward.
Pull up relevant patient information before or during a simulation. Learners can review history, medications, vital details and scenario-specific context—creating fuller encounters that better reflect real clinical practice.
Apply your own rubric so the avatar understands the goals of the simulation and gives evidence-based feedback. Reports connect specific moments from the conversation to strengths, opportunities and clear next steps.
Designed around your learning goals. Clinical information and assessment criteria can be tailored to each case, audience and curriculum—without reducing performance to a generic score.
Start a conversation using one of these questions to explore the program and what a Live AI Avatar experience could look like in your setting.
Explore current Live AI simulations across CU Anschutz and collaborating institutions, including patient interviews, peer support, counseling and faculty development. Scenarios can be designed with distinct personalities and emotional responses to reflect the people learners encounter. Select a linked project or request access.

Interested in trying one of these Live AI Avatars? Access is available by request. Email Clint Carlson to discuss the project, intended use and available access options. New projects can be developed for any discipline in which communication, empathy, feedback or decision-making can be strengthened through realistic practice.
This archive preserves earlier avatar projects and the partnerships that shaped the program. These experiences use pre-scripted interaction rather than today's responsive Live AI technology. They remain available for exploration, but are presented separately to make the distinction clear.
These earlier projects follow fixed dialogue pathways. They are maintained as part of the program’s history, not examples of current Live AI capabilities.
School nurse training developed with the Department of Psychiatry.
Created in partnership with the Colorado Behavioral Health Administration.
AR models allow learners to view, explore and better understand complex three-dimensional objects on a mobile device, with no software download required. Soon, this technology will also bring Live AI Avatars to life in our physical environments!
