HiEd.ai is a student/trainee assessment platform
We try to keep it faff and fuss free: Log-in. Brief your AI agent and upload relevant training material. Share a link with your students/trainees. Review the recordings.
Watch how lecturers and students use the platform
This platform was developed by Social Work lecturers who recognised that assessment by written assignment is no longer fit for purpose. Considering that roleplays, discussion and debate are excellent aids to learning, they sought to leverage advances in AI to practice these. They now use these activities as the backbone of learning and assessment in their training programmes.
Plagiarism detection tools are now in an arms race with AI—we can help you sidestep that whole debacle!
Professionals don't write essays in practice—they have difficult conversations. Natural voice interactions mirror real professional demands.
Students/trainees can practice anytime—no scheduling, no waiting. Human role-players are expensive and inconsistent. AI allows unlimited practice before real situations.
Make mistakes without real-world consequences. Less intimidating than practicing with tutors or peers. Repeat scenarios until confident, then review transcripts and recordings.
Create custom AI conversation agents that simulate realistic professional scenarios. Trainees practice challenging conversations—client interactions, stakeholder meetings, difficult discussions—as many times as they need.
Every student/trainee gets the same quality of practice opportunity. AI doesn't have off days or vary between cohorts. Standardised scenarios for fairer assessment comparison.
Recordings allow students/trainees to review their own performance. Lecturers can pinpoint specific moments for feedback. Creates a portfolio of developing competence over time.
Reduces demand on instructors for basic skill development. Students/trainees arrive at work placements better prepared. One lecturer can oversee many simultaneous practice sessions.

info@hied.aiOur AI agents use advanced voice synthesis and natural language processing to create remarkably realistic conversations. They respond contextually, maintain emotional consistency, and adapt to student/trainee responses in real-time.
Absolutely. You define the scenario context, personality traits, and conversation goals. You can also upload relevant training materials to inform the AI's responses.
Students/trainees receive a simple enrollment link. They log in with their email, see the scenario briefing, and start the conversation with one click. No complex setup required.
Yes. Every conversation is automatically transcribed and recorded. You can read the full transcript and listen to the audio recording for each practice session.
Pricing starts at as little as £100 (~€120 / ~$130) for smaller numbers of students/trainees using the platform for restricted periods—for example, a one-off assessment. We also arrange institution-wide access; these packages begin at around £10,000 (~€12,000 / ~$13,000) per annum.
Yes. The AI is designed to handle sensitive scenarios appropriately. However, we recommend briefing students/trainees beforehand and providing debriefing support for emotionally intense practice sessions.
Students/trainees need a device with a microphone and web browser. Works on laptops, tablets, and smartphones. No app installation required.
We take security seriously. All data is stored on EU-based servers, encrypted end-to-end, and our infrastructure providers (Google Cloud, Vercel) are SOC 2 Type 2 certified and ISO 27001 compliant. We're GDPR compliant and your conversation data is never used to train AI models. View our full security & privacy documentation.
