The first simulation designed specifically to develop AI collaboration skills! Students use an AI copilot to analyze research, allocate budgets, create content, and measure results—developing skills employers desperately need.

We created Novela's AI Marketing Simulation after seeing a critical gap in marketing education. While AI tools are transforming the industry, most students only learn about these tools theoretically—they never get hands-on experience using them strategically. Our simulation puts students in the marketing director's seat at WorkWell (an employee wellness platform) where they collaborate with Ela, our AI copilot. The key difference? Ela doesn't just give answers—she challenges students to think critically about their decisions. What we're most proud of is how the simulation rewards thoughtful AI collaboration rather than passive consumption. Better prompts, critical evaluation of AI outputs, and strategic implementation of AI suggestions directly improve campaign performance metrics. For educators, we've included a complete teaching package: assessment rubrics, classroom activities, and a practical prompt engineering guide that connects directly to the simulation experience. Our first customers are Kellogg, Imperial College, and Columbia Business Schools. We'd love your feedback, especially from marketers and professionals using AI tools in their work! What other skills should we be focusing on to prepare students for the AI-augmented workplace?

An AI collaboration sandbox with measurable interaction metrics - clever way to quantify human-AI teamwork skills through structured task delegation and multi-modal feedback.

Using this AI collaboration simulation was a game-changer—it felt like real-world teamwork with an AI copilot. I got hands-on experience in research, budgeting, and content creation, and it actually built skills I know employers are looking for.
