How does Second Nature use AI for training?
Second Nature uses generative AI and machine learning to power immersive role-play simulations for professional training. AI-driven personas engage in dynamic, two-way conversations, enabling real-time, adaptive interactions and providing immediate feedback and scoring within 45-90 seconds.

After each session the platform evaluates knowledge accuracy, conversational style, and soft skills like clarity and confidence. It employs language models like GPT hosted on Microsoft Azure for contextually relevant dialogue while maintaining strict ethical safeguards, content filters, and compliance with security best practices.
Second Nature offers various AI-powered role-play formats, including live interactive conversations, webcam-based AI-scored pitch recordings, slide-based presentations with AI-generated questions and feedback, and product demos with screen-sharing capabilities.

These role plays help teams practice a wide range of critical business scenarios, such as cold calls, discovery conversations, objection handling, detailed product pitches, and scripted calls for highly-regulated sectors. AI-generated personas can be customized to match specific industries, buyer types, and customer segments.
Creating AI role plays in Second Nature is simple and requires no technical expertise through its versatile Course Editor. Users can upload existing training materials like PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, or audio recordings, use customizable pre-built templates, or build simulations from scratch within minutes.

For efficiency, template-based roleplays offer pre-built frameworks aligned with common sales methodologies like MEDDPICC, BANT, or SPIN that can be quickly customized. The editor includes a comprehensive configuration workflow and evaluation criteria automatically generated by AI and fully editable by users.

Creators can define the scenario context, persona background, conversation structure, topics to cover (with weighted scoring), style evaluation parameters, and passing criteria. Organizations can further customize the experience by adding custom AI personas, presentation materials, and supplemental learning content like videos or quizzes that precede or follow the simulation.
Second Nature maintains enterprise-grade security, storing all data in a Google Cloud Platform data center in the Netherlands with AES-256 encryption both at rest and in transit. The platform adheres to stringent data privacy regulations including with GDPR, SOC 2, and CCPA regulations.

Customer data is never used for AI model training and remains isolated. Access controls follow the principle of least privilege, and permissions are reviewed quarterly. Users can delete their recordings at any time, and organizations can request full data removal upon contract termination.
Second Nature supports training in multiple languages, allowing globally distributed teams to practice in their native tongues. AI-driven role plays provide real-time feedback and scoring in various languages.

Currently, the platform supports more than 20 languages including English (12+ accents), Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch, French, Hebrew, Japanese, and more. Additional European and Asian languages are coming soon. Extra languages might be added by customer request.

AI feedback adapts to specific language nuances, accents, and cultural speaking styles, ensuring consistent training experiences across regions with reliable, unbiased scoring that respects regional language variations.
Second Nature offers flexible integration options to connect seamlessly with major LMS, CRM, and identity management platforms. It supports SCORM, API-based data exchange, SCIM for user management, and SAML SSO authentication.

The platform works with leading LMS systems like Cornerstone, Docebo, SuccessFactors, and Adobe Learning Manager, as well as CRM platforms like Salesforce and HubSpot. These integrations allow for automated training data synchronization, streamlined workflows while maintaining comprehensive reporting capabilities and user data consistency across systems.
Second Nature offers comprehensive analytics and reporting tools that provide insights at individual, team, and organizational levels. AI-generated reports include knowledge, style and soft skill assessments with scores available within seconds. AI-generated feedback is available immediately after each session, ensuring fast and actionable coaching insights.

Managers can access dashboards showing team-wide progress, completion rates, and proficiency heatmaps to highlight strengths and weaknesses. The platform enables comparative analysis across individuals and teams, supporting targeted coaching interventions and tracking skill development over time.
AI scoring evaluates both knowledge (content accuracy, topic coverage) and style metrics (pace, clarity, energy, filler words). Scores are generated within 45-90 seconds, with default weightings of 70% for knowledge and 30% for style, while managers can provide additional scoring using either the same rubric as the AI or a custom scorecard.

Managers can adjust AI scoring criteria, review AI assessments, or add manual evaluations for certification purposes. Organizations can define specific evaluation criteria and passing thresholds, ensuring training aligns with performance expectations. Reps can also request score reviews, refining the assessment process for continuous improvement.
Second Nature is a cloud-based platform that runs on modern browsers without requiring software installation. Users need a desktop or laptop running Windows, macOS, and tablets.

The platform is optimized for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. A minimum internet speed of 10Mb/s is recommended for optimal performance. Users need to allow browser access to their microphone, with camera access optional for certain training modules.
