AI SimulationsThe Verify Engine

Real workplace scenarios that verify and develop skills.

5 to 30 minute immersive simulations. Voice calls, chat, code, and document work with AI actors who behave like real colleagues, clients, and stakeholders. Behavioral evidence, not subjective ratings.

Not a test

A real work scenario, not a quiz.

A candidate or employee takes on a specific role inside a realistic company context. They work through real tasks, make decisions, and interact with AI characters. Performance is evaluated against defined skills, not against the effort of a human reviewer.

Real role, real stakes

Players take on a specific job role and receive a briefing. The scenario is built around real workplace situations, not abstract puzzles.

AI actors, not scripts

Up to 4 AI characters per simulation: colleagues, clients, managers. Each has a personality, a backstory, and a defined difficulty level.

Mixed modalities

One simulation can include voice calls, chat, code challenges, document analysis, and collaborative editing, mirroring how real work happens.

Objective evaluation

Every simulation is scored against defined skills and criteria. Pass and fail checks, competency levels 0 to 5. No subjective ratings, no interviewer bias.

Five modalities

Five ways people demonstrate skill.

A single simulation can mix task types, reflecting how skills are actually used at work. Not one format for everything.

Real-time voice

Live voice with an AI actor: discovery calls, coaching, negotiations, incident escalations. Measures communication and judgment under pressure.

Async written

Text conversation with an AI actor playing a colleague, client, or stakeholder. Tests written communication, clarity, and professional judgment.

Live coding

Full code editor with syntax highlighting and test execution. Debugging, architecture review, and code quality, with AI tooling active.

Review and analyse

Players work with real-format files: PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX. Analysis, drafting, and review tasks, scored against defined criteria.

Shared document

A live workspace the player and AI actors edit together. Built for co-authoring; the final document is evaluated like a code submission.

AI coding and tooling

Test whether people can really build with AI.

Coding and GenAI templates run a live editor with test execution and real AI tools active. See how engineers actually work with Claude Code, Copilot, and Codex, not whether they can recite an answer.

A full coding environment

Syntax highlighting, test execution, and real repositories. Debugging, architecture review, and pull-request analysis in a realistic setup.

Real AI tools, live

Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex run inside the task. The simulation measures how well someone directs AI to a correct, production-ready result.

Scored on the work

Every result maps to the same 0 to 5 competency scale and the 60,000+ taxonomy. Objective, traceable, and comparable across people.

The one skill every team is hiring and reskilling for right now, measured on real work instead of a whiteboard.

One engine

Hire, assess, or train, on the same simulation engine.

The same AI Simulation infrastructure powers all three. What changes is the tone, the difficulty calibration, and the purpose of the feedback.

Assess external candidates

Test whether a candidate can actually do the job before making an offer. Replace or complement early interviews with evidence from a realistic scenario.

Verify your internal workforce

Map the real skill levels of your employees. Not what they claim, but what they demonstrate under realistic conditions. Feeds the AI Readiness Score and skills intelligence.

Develop skills through practice

Training simulations guide employees with structured hints, checkpoints, and feedback. They practice; the system measures and reinforces. Learning with evidence of outcome.

The AI actors

Characters designed to challenge, never to block.

Each simulation has up to 4 AI actors. They push players to demonstrate real skills, but always leave a path to success.

Supportive and collaborative

Responsive, helpful characters. Good for lower-stakes scenarios or training contexts where psychological safety matters.

Professional and realistic

Business-as-usual characters. Neither helpful nor obstructive. Most simulations use neutral as the default, because it reflects real work.

Challenging but fair

Characters with strong opinions, skepticism, or resistance. They require players to demonstrate real skill, but always respond to good reasoning.

A scored simulation result: each skill rated 0 to 5 with cited evidence for what went well and what to improve
How it’s scored

Scores built from evidence, not impressions.

Every data point traces to a specific behavior observed during the simulation. No gut feel, no interviewer variance.

Skills selected, 3 to 4 per simulation

Each simulation targets a focused set of skills, enough for a meaningful profile without diluting the assessment.

Evaluation criteria per skill

Each skill has multiple criteria defining the specific behaviors that demonstrate competency in this scenario and context.

Score checks, pass or fail

Essential checks that must pass, plus non-essential checks that contribute to the overall score. Binary, traceable, auditable.

Competency level, 0 to 5

Raw scores map to a 0 to 5 competency level. Every result ties to the 60,000+ skill taxonomy and feeds the Workforce Intelligence layer.

Where it fits

Phase 3 of the 5-Phase Workforce Methodology.

AI Simulations are the verification layer, where claimed skills become demonstrated skills. Mapping and self-evaluation come first; the integrated report comes after.

1

Auto-map skills

CV, HRIS, and LinkedIn parsed into one unified profile.

2

Guided self-evaluation

Each person validates and rates their skills.

3

AI Simulation assessment

Skills verified objectively in realistic work scenarios.

4

AI Interview

Qualitative signal on aspiration, context, and perceived friction.

5

Analysis and reporting

One integrated view for the person and the organisation.

Common questions

What HR and engineering teams ask.

How long does a typical AI Simulation take?
Most simulations are designed to take 30 minutes. The maximum is 45 to 60 minutes for complex, multi-task scenarios. Simulations are not timed tests: the session ends when the player completes the tasks, within the designed scope.
Do players need any special setup or software?
No. Simulations run in a web browser. Voice calls use the built-in microphone. No software to install, no VPN, no special hardware. Players receive a link and start.
How many simulations are available out of the box?
Anthropos includes 300+ training simulations across tech, commercial, finance, HR, and operations roles. Hiring assessments have a separate library. You can also build custom simulations with Anthropos Studio, no engineers required.
Can we test AI tooling proficiency, like Copilot or Claude Code?
Yes. Coding and GenAI simulation templates support live AI tool environments. Engineers work on real coding scenarios with Claude Code, Copilot, or Codex active, and the simulation scores how effectively they use them.
How does scoring connect to the rest of the platform?
Every simulation result maps directly to skills in the 60,000+ taxonomy. Scores feed the Workforce Intelligence layer, updating each person’s skill profile and AI Readiness tier in real time. No manual data entry or reporting pipeline.
