Branching scenarios are the gold standard for practicing soft skills, but they are notoriously difficult to build. Between mapping complex logic "spiderwebs" and writing authentic dialogue for every possible outcome, many designers give up and go back to linear content.

In this session, we will prove that you don't need to be a coding wizard or a creative writer to build immersive, adaptive learning. By leveraging the power of AI (specifically ChatGPT), we will show you how to rapidly prototype relevance-rich scenarios where learner choices genuinely shape the path forward. You will leave with a clear workflow to take your ideas from a simple concept to a fully realized, adaptive experience.

In this session, you will learn:

• The AI Advantage: How to use ChatGPT to generate realistic dialogue, difficult choices, and meaningful consequences that would normally take days to write.
• Adaptive Logic 101: A beginner-friendly framework for structuring your decision trees so they engage learners without becoming unmanageable.
• From Prompt to Prototype: Practical techniques for integrating AI-generated content directly into your design process to speed up development.
• Engagement Engineering: How to ensure your scenarios are not just "interactive," but truly resonant and effective for skill application.
