From Script to RolePlay

Adapting Your Scripts for AI

Updated over 3 weeks ago

You've got a great script, but how do you turn it into a dynamic Apprendly RolePlay? The key is adapting your existing content to a format that our platform understands. This guide will show you how to structure your script to create an immersive and effective roleplay scenario.


Adapting Your Existing Script

Here’s how to convert your existing script or training content into a format that works perfectly with Apprendly RolePlay. The more specific you are, the better the outcome will be.

1. Define the Scenario: Look at the main plot of your script and define the core problem or challenge. What is the central conflict the player needs to address? This will become your description of the Scenario.

2. Break Down the Roles: Identify the key players in your script.

  • The Player's Role: Define the user's title, responsibility, and objective. Keep this brief to allow the user creative freedom.

  • The AI Actor's Role: Who is the other character? What is their name, personality, and motivation?

  • The AI Actor's Backstory: What happened before this scene? What information does the AI character have that the user doesn't?

3. Set Clear Goals: What is the ultimate objective of the roleplay? Define one clear primary goal for the user, but you can also define smaller supporting goals. This helps the AI Actor stay on track during the RolePlay.

4. Use Specific Instructions: This is how you fine-tune the AI's behavior. Go through your script and identify any specific actions or phrases you want the AI Actor to use. For example, instruct the AI Actor to start the conversation with a specific phrase, or define a reaction if the user says something like, "I want to speak to the manager."
