Create an AI LiveCase in Minutes Using AI Templates

You have a case study that works. Frameworks, data tables, discussion questions, and a teaching note. The material is solid. The challenge is turning that material into an experience in which learners have to think and act.

LiveCase's AI authoring tools are designed to reduce the production work without taking instructional control away from the educator.

Start With Your Existing Material

You can begin with material you already have rather than rebuilding a case from scratch. LiveCase's authoring workflow accepts pasted text and source material including PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, HTML, and CSV files, as well as a URL. You can also provide guidance about learning goals, scenarios, roles, and constraints.

The AI uses that context to help structure an interactive experience. It is a starting point, not a finished pedagogical design.

Choose the Experience You Actually Need

A LiveCase does not have to be a complicated branching story.

You can build a linear Episode with a clear sequence of context, character messages, evidence, decisions, questions, feedback, and reflection. When different learner choices genuinely need different follow-up content, you can add branching with badges.

A useful authoring principle is to keep a clear main path and add branches only where the difference changes the learning journey.

Build With Modular Chat Types

LiveCase gives authors a collection of interaction types rather than forcing every experience into a chatbot format.

You can combine:

• Character messages and context
• Meetings and voice memos
• Images, video, GIFs, files, slides, and browser content
• Multiple-choice and popup multiple-choice questions
• Text questions for open-ended responses
• Checkboxes, dropdowns, ranges, rankings, matrices, and allocation activities
• AI chat for a live AI-powered conversation with a character
• Scoring and characteristics for measuring performance across different dimensions

The authoring goal is not to maximize the number of features. It is to create meaningful moments where learners have to interpret information, make a choice, explain themselves, or adapt.

Where AI Chat Fits

AI chat is a specific LiveCase interaction type. It allows a learner to have a live conversation with an AI-powered character inside the authored experience.

It should be used deliberately. LiveCase currently supports one AI chat per episode, so an author might place it at the point where questioning a stakeholder, negotiating, coaching, or exploring a situation conversationally adds value.

The rest of the episode can remain structured and authored.

Branching With Badges

Branching in LiveCase is controlled with badges.

A question response can award a badge. Later content can be configured to appear only for learners who have that badge. This can create different story paths, remediation, roles, challenge levels, or outcomes.

For example, a learner who chooses a collaborative response to a leadership dilemma could receive a badge that unlocks a later coaching-focused interaction.

This approach lets authors create meaningful variation without having to turn every decision into a completely separate storyline.

Add Scoring and Feedback

Multiple-choice questions can contribute to characteristics, allowing an experience to measure dimensions such as leadership, communication, teamwork, profit, sales, or cost.

Open-ended text questions can use AI-powered dynamic feedback against an author's ideal answer or criteria.

Together, these tools allow an author to design for tradeoffs and reasoning rather than relying only on right-or-wrong knowledge checks.

A Practical Authoring Workflow

A useful sequence is:

1. Define one learning objective.
2. Gather the source material and context.
3. Let the authoring AI propose a starting structure.
4. Review and correct the scenario, characters, decisions, and questions.
5. Add multimedia or AI chat where they improve the experience.
6. Add badges if branching is genuinely useful.
7. Configure scoring, characteristics, and feedback.
8. Test the experience from the learner's perspective.
9. Refine before assigning or publishing.

The educator remains the instructional authority. AI can accelerate the first draft, but it should not be treated as the final judge of what students need to learn.

From Authoring to Distribution

Once an experience has been tested and is ready to share, LiveCase provides publishing and distribution options. Authors can keep experiences private or use the platform's available publishing and catalogue options.

If you want a done-for-you build instead, LiveCase Studio Services can support the design and production process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding skills?

No. LiveCase's authoring environment is designed to let educators create interactive experiences without programming.

Can I use an existing case study?

Yes. You can provide existing material as source content and use it as the foundation for an interactive experience.

Does the AI automatically create every branch?

Do not assume that branching is required. Branching is an authoring choice and is implemented with badges when different learner paths are needed.

Is every LiveCase an AI chatbot?

No. AI chat is one interaction type among many. A LiveCase can use scripted messages, questions, multimedia, scoring, characteristics, branching, and AI chat in the same experience.

How long should an Episode be?

LiveCase authoring guidance generally recommends keeping an individual Episode around 10–15 minutes. Larger experiences can be organized into Episodes, Seasons, and Series.

The best starting point is simple: one learning objective, one meaningful situation, and a few moments where the learner has to decide.
