Launch Team
Google Research just made the hardest skills to measure, actually measurable.
Vantage is a Google Research experiment that uses GenAI to assess future-ready skills like collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. AI avatars simulate real scenarios, score your performance, and deliver a personal Skill Map.
The problem: Critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity matter most but are nearly impossible to assess at scale.
The solution: Vantage uses an Executive LLM to simulate real team scenarios, surface skill evidence, and score performance at human-expert level.
What stands out:
🧠 AI simulated team: Work through missions like debates, pitches, and experiments with AI avatars.
🎯 Executive LLM: Introduces dynamic challenges like conflict and constraints mid-conversation.
📊 AI Evaluator: Scores using expert-level rubrics with human-like agreement.
🗺️ Personal Skill Map: Visual scores with precise qualitative feedback.
🔬 Validated by New York University: AI scoring matches human experts across 188 testers.
📐 Aligned with OECD and World Economic Forum frameworks.
🎓 Built for classrooms: Designed as a skills layer alongside existing curricula.
Skills assessed:
- Collaboration: Conflict resolution and project management.
- Creative Thinking: Generating, building, and evaluating ideas.
- Critical Thinking: Interpreting, analyzing, and judging information.
Different because it’s not a test, but an adaptive conversation that reveals real capability.

@rohanrecommends For B2B/tech roles like product launches or client pitches, how does Vantage simulate those high-stakes moments; like defending a pivot to skeptical stakeholders or resolving cross-timezone conflicts? Does the AI throw curveballs based on your actual responses?
Interesting idea! How do you ensure the AI-simulated scenarios stay relevant as tech stacks and best practices evolve? I remember one painful incident where outdated training led to a junior engineer deploying a container with root privileges to production.
critical thinking and collaboration are the skills I need most but never know how to actually benchmark. curious how the skill map tracks improvement over time. do repeated sessions show progression?

Cool! Built something like this before under the guise of an interview and its interesting how a reframing from interview to assessment enables you to discover a whole value add of education.

This would be a great brainstorming partner!
