Regis is using the latest in AI technology to accelerate the design and development of experiential learning.
Meet ReX - your AI-enabled co-author!
Why AI + L&D?
AI tools have evolved to make basic, generic knowledge content relatively easy to generate, including basic eLearning and assessments.
This easy-to-create knowledge content frees up L&D resources for new, more dynamic forms of learning, including experiential content that is focused on “doing” rather than just “knowing”.
So what for L&D?
Use the knowledge of your learners with SimGate + integrated AI to quickly and easily create experiential learning programs.
What does Regis do with AI Today?
AI Avatars
Create lifelike characters and scripts quickly and easily with our fully integrated avatar content creation tool within SimGate Studio (via integration with Synthesia).
Check out this article for more information on AI Avatars!
One-Click Sim
Auto generate a series of challenging activities that create the foundation for a scenario-based sim through our proprietary generative AI tool (layered on top of our privately deployed and secure instance of the OpenAI GPT model. - GPT-4 at the time of writing this).
Check out this article for more information on One Click Sim!
Ask ReX AI Text assistant
Available in Rich Text Editors all around the tool! Prompt it to generate text or ask it to rewrite selected text and then insert or replace your selection. We made quick actions available so you can make text shorter or longer, get definitions, or extract action items in one click.
ReX Beta
Auto generate highly-specific content for a variety of simulation activities and customize the flow through our proprietary generative AI tool (layered on top of OpenAI).
Specific Content Ingestion - supporting auto-generation of sim content from organization-specific content (private to that organization).
GPT Source Info - Standard GPT auto-generated content usually lacks sourcing. We’ve identified ways to get GPT to source its content and will be including those functions in future versions of our integration.

FAQ
What does it mean that SimGate is AI-enabled?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is used for three main purposes:
Level 1: Rapid Prototyping. Ideal for when a stakeholder wants a course but is not clear on the objectives or outcomes.
Level 2: Activity Development. Perfect for creating content for a specific simulation activity.
Level 3: Subject Matter Resource trained. Used to train the AI to generate similar quality content in the future to courses that have already been reviewed and approved by SMRs.
What are the benefits of using ReX Beta to help with content creation?
You can:
create content in minutes, not weeks
draft initial content to expedite SMR feedback instead of starting from scratch
ensure design efficacy for experiential learning
generate learning content from both AI and company-specific documents
build engaging and effective experiential learning
Can you incorporate video?
Yes! Synthesia Avatars are integrated into SimGate Studio and use AI-generated Avatars to speed up development and significantly decrease video development costs. A creator can select from over 40 pre-existing avatars, tell it what to say, add personalized backgrounds and music, and add CC subtitles.
Do I need my own account and license? No - Regis provides this service as part of our solution.
Is AI used in the student experience?
We currently use AI avatars. Our roadmap includes chat features, assisted branching, providing feedback, and interpreting results.
Is AI auto-generated content ready to be published?
While all of the content generated in our SimGate tools is unique and purposefully prompted to give you valuable content, ALL auto-generated content must be reviewed for accuracy and its fit for purpose. ReX AI will not give you final learning content, but rather is a place to start. While much faster than generating content from scratch, final learning content requires human involvement and therefore is ultimately a unique creation of the designer/developer.
What is AI good for in the creation of experiential learning?
AI is very good at some pieces of the experiential learning recipe:
Creating highly specific scenarios, stories, situations, and sample interactions
Quickly generating detailed, true-to-life story characters
Generating organizationally-specific information
AI is not (yet!) good at other pieces of the experiential learning recipe:
Understanding the needs of target learners, their pains, blockers, etc (Elements of ReX Beta are working to solve for this!)
Setting up all elements of a simulation experience, including scoring, branching/ personalization, feedback, etc. (Elements of ReX Beta are working to solve for this!)
Data Privacy
Is ReX based on ChatGPT?
No , ReX does not use ChatGPT. Instead, it operates on our private instance of the GPT model, hosted and scaled on Azure Cloud. This setup ensures enterprise-grade security and isolation, managed by Azure as a part of its secure, enterprise-ready services, leveraging OpenAI technology.
How can ReX use GPT if it's developed by OpenAI?
There's often confusion between OpenAI, the company, and its GPT models. OpenAI developed the GPT series (e.g., GPT-4), and while they offer access to these models through ChatGPT, Microsoft Azure enables enterprises to host private instances of the GPT model. ReX uses such a private instance, making it our bespoke application built upon OpenAI's model technology.
Intellectual property
Are there IP issues with auto-generating content with Regis tools and using them in my courses?
Currently, there are ongoing global debates about the use of AI and how IP is protected. For the best answer to this question, we recommend you talk with your internal legal teams in the event you need to copyright a course that is informed by AI outputs.
All of the content generated in our SimGate tools is unique, so there is no issue with using the content, but establishing a protectable copyright may be difficult. Source
“OpenAI's TOS assigns ownership of all of ChatGPT's outputs to users (see section 3(a) of their TOS), but the more fundamental Q is whether AI-generated works are copyrightable in the first place. As the law is now, probably not, but it's being litigated.” Source
