Overview
Forge offers several ways to practice and progress beyond the conversation itself: the Action Lab to practice in realistic situations, coaching missions to structure your progress, and coach news to stay informed.
The Action Lab
The Action Lab is a hands-on practice activity offered by your coach during your conversations. Your coach plays a role (a counterpart, a scenario) and you practice by interacting with it, like a role-play.
- Role-play scenario — The coach plays a character suited to your practice goal.
- Discreet check-ins — The coach checks in every 3 turns with a short message slipped into the exchange. It only appears when the coach has genuinely useful advice to give: otherwise nothing is shown and the role-play continues uninterrupted.
- Debrief and takeaways — At the end, the coach gives you a full debrief: strengths, areas to improve, and tips to progress.
Good to know: these check-ins replaced the score shown after every message. Your responses are still assessed in the background and feed into the end-of-session debrief.
The Action Lab is being rolled out progressively (beta); availability may vary depending on your coach and workspace.
Coaching missions
Coaching missions are targeted activities that help you progress step by step. They may be offered to you to work on a specific skill or to put into practice something covered in conversation, giving a concrete framework to your progress.
Coach news
The coach news section gathers the latest information relevant to your learning. Some news items can turn into coaching missions, turning information into an opportunity to practice.
