Synthesia launches live avatar coaching and surveys

Synthesia launched Sessions with Roleplay and Survey Sessions, turning its avatar platform into live coaching and interview workflows. In the launch announcement, the company says 78% of learners returned for another roleplay and 83% of those repeat learners improved their score on a later attempt; the figures are early deployment results, not an independent skills study. Survey Sessions can interview hundreds of people at once, but teams should baseline human interviews and retention before treating a conversational avatar as a research or training replacement; the archive’s synthetic-performer analysis shows why provenance and consent remain part of the product.
