SAM, short for Skill Advisor and Mentor, takes a distinctive approach to AI-driven mentorship, going beyond providing quick answers that undermine learning. Instead, SAM asks questions and provides additional context to help learners comprehend the content while also sharpening their critical thinking.

Available exclusively in SkillMill, SAM gives technicians personalized support when they need it and encourages them during their learning journey. 

Tailored support

SAM taps into Interplay's renowned expertise and 3D simulations, which set the standard for skilled trades training. When learning on SkillMill, SAM helps technicians acquire the right skills, fostering deep understanding, improving problem-solving, and accelerating the learning process.

SAM is tailored to support the way tradespeople learn, offering contextual and collaborative learning opportunities that adapt to their needs.
