OVERVIEW
It’s now time for you to create your simulation! To do so, you’ll have to follow a simple process using the Simulation Creator.

1. How to make a Simulation?
A simulation is made up of 3 main ingredients:
an AI Character with a predefined role play,
a Location,
Assessment Criteria.
Simulations can be created, modified and shared at anytime using the Simulation Creator.

2. How to use the Simulation Creator?
To create simulation, you’ll need to use the Simulation Creator.
The Simulation Creator provides a simple Step-by-step process for the creation of your simulation, starting from the Title of your simulation to the assessment criteria of your simulation.
You can follow these steps using the Creator outline. Let’s dive right in!

The Overview
As for the Main Information, you can define a title for your simulation, a description and a poster image.
Image 4: the Overview tab
In addition, you can add an introductory message that will be displayed when the simulation is launched. Simply search for the INTRODUCTION tab to enter the desired text and the title of the START DISCUSSION button.

The Location
In this section, you’ll be asked to choose a Skybox, a 360° environment. You can choose one from your Media Library where Wonda Pro offers several available options.

If you want to add your own customized skybox, you'll need a 360 photo or image, created using a 360° camera, Google Street View or by using a generative AI tools such as Skybox AI - BlockadeLabs to generate your own skybox.

Create your Character
Now it’s time to customize your own AI Character for your simulations.
The Identity of your Character
In the Identity section, you’ll be able to define:
the name of the Character,
its voice,
the first sentence they will say at the beginning of the discussion.

The Look and Feel
Then, you’ll have to customize the APPEARANCE of the character, including its facial and body traits but also its outfit.
You can select one of the default proposed by Wonda, or create your own one by clicking on the + NEW AVATAR button and follow the options available.

The Prompt of your Character
Last but not least, you can define a custom Prompt for your Character.

To write a good prompt, or to get to know the best practices, we recommend you read the How to Create a Good Prompt documentation article.
Note: the CHARACTER PROMPTS or PLAIN TEXT tab show the same content and updating one will update the other. We recommend using the Character Prompt to keep your content organized, the Plain Text tab allows you to easily copy & paste your prompt.
The Evaluation
In this section, you can define your own criteria for evaluating your learners' performance, and instantly provide them with a feedback report based on these same criteria.
In the GENERAL tab, you can give your evaluation report a title and description, as well as a scale for the indicative score (e.g. 1 to 5) - and choose whether or not to display the evaluation report to learners.
In the CRITERIA tab, you can add up to 6 criteria and detailed instructions for each.
In the PREVIEW tab, you can generate sample reports to test your evaluation criteria on previous conversation logs with your AI character.

To test your Evaluation Report in real time, simply press the END CONVERSATION button after a given conversation to display the evaluation report.
N.B.: The END CONVERSATION button is activated after a minimum of 5 messages have been exchanged with the AI character, to ensure that there is sufficient conversational data to evaluate.

discussion with the AIC in the Conflict Resolution simulation
3. Test Your Simulation and Iterate
Congratulations, you've built your very own conversational AI simulation! Now it's time to test it and iterate!
To test the simulation, the quickest and easiest way is to use the preview panel on the right-hand side of the Simulation Creation and refresh the discussion in the preview panel every time you change the prompt or any other option in the Simulation Creator.
You can also click on LAUNCH to open the simulation in a new browser tab and see your AI character in action under the same conditions as your learners.

N.B.: If you're using the Preview Panel, you'll need to refresh the entire conversation if you change the prompt on the fly.
Your simulation is now ready! Keep in mind that iterating is the key, the more you test and improve your prompt for the AI Character and/or the evaluation report, the better your simulation will be.
You can now Share your Program or Simulation with your collaborators to gather feedback, or with your learners to start the Live period!
