| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Frontierz | Workforce development platform built around AI Fellows and Learning Paths. |
| AI Fellow | A configurable conversational AI that holds live, voice-led conversations. See AI Fellows. |
| AI Simulation | A role-play AI Fellow created from a simulated persona, situation, and optional success criteria. After the session it can produce coaching feedback. See AI Simulations. |
| Learning Path | An ordered training programme that can combine AI-led sessions, simulations, reference material, and imported e-learning activities. See Learning Paths. |
| Live session | A real-time conversation with an AI Fellow. Voice-first, optionally with camera, screen, or text sharing. |
| Chat mode | Per-AI-Fellow option that lets users type instead of speaking. Configured with Allow text chat on Capabilities. Where it is on, Voice and Text sit with Start live session. See Text chat mode. |
| Text session | A conversation held by typing. Text starts it; Voice during that conversation continues it as a call. |
| Chat | During a session, the panel or thread that shows the conversation in writing and the text, widgets, images, and documents the AI Fellow shares. |
| Whiteboard | On screen capability. A shared board on the call where the user and the AI Fellow can sketch and the AI Fellow draws diagrams. See Connectors. |
| File sent during a session | A file a user drags into an active AI Fellow conversation so the AI Fellow can use it as temporary context. See Files sent during sessions. |
| Info screen | Optional welcome window shown whenever a user opens an AI Fellow or a Learning Path session. Configured per AI Fellow and per session. See Info screen. |
| Connector | A Custom Connector (HTTP or MCP) attached to an AI Fellow or a Learning Path so the AI Fellow can call one of the customer's systems during a conversation. See Connectors. |
| Connectors Library | Area in Studio where Custom Connectors are defined and managed. Open to Full Admins, Owners, and Creators. See Create a Connector. |
| Capabilities | Built-in session options for an AI Fellow or Learning Path, grouped as Presence, On screen, and Session flow. Managers can toggle them on assigned resources. See Connectors. |
| Tags | Optional Studio labels on AI Fellows and Learning Paths (up to 20 per resource). Used to filter Studio lists. Learners do not see them. See Edit a Learning Path. |
| Knowledge Base | The set of documents an AI Fellow uses as reference material. Up to 20 files per AI Fellow. See Knowledge Base. |
| Learning Path knowledge | Reference files uploaded to a Learning Path. The Fellow sees a catalog (filename and description) and reads a file on demand. Up to 20 files for the whole path and 2 per session. See Learning Path knowledge. |
| Frontierz Studio | The administration hub where administrators create and manage AI Fellows and Learning Paths. The Connectors Library is open to Full Admins, Owners, and Creators. |
| Objective | A specific, observable outcome a user must demonstrate within a Learning Path session. The AI Fellow checks it off during the conversation. |
| Session | One step in a Learning Path. A Fellow Session has objectives that the participant must meet before the next step becomes available. |
| Standalone AI Fellow | An AI Fellow deployed on its own through a standalone link or an embedded widget. No user account is required when the AI Fellow is Public. |
| Standalone link | The unique URL assigned to an AI Fellow. Public AI Fellow links can be opened without authentication; Private AI Fellow links require authentication and explicit access. |
| HTTP Connector | A Custom Connector that calls a regular HTTP endpoint on one of the customer's systems. |
| MCP Connector | A Custom Connector that connects over the Model Context Protocol to an AI-aware data source. |
| Screen share | Built-in Presence capability that lets the user share a screen, window, or tab during a live session. |
| Schedule next session | Built-in Session flow capability on Learning Paths. After every objective in the current Fellow Session is complete, and when a later Fellow Session exists, the AI Fellow can book the next slot and email a calendar invitation. |
| Visibility | One of three states each AI Fellow always has: Public (anyone with the link), Private (only granted users), Disabled (nobody). Knowledge processing briefly shows Training, then restores that previous visibility. See Visibility. |
| Execution log | The audit trail of every time a Connector is invoked in a conversation. Shows the data sent, the response received, and the status. |
| Activity Log | Company Settings page for Owners and Full Admins. Lists who changed Learning Paths, AI Fellows, roles, access, and company settings, and when. See Activity Log. |
| User | The end-user role. Users talk to AI Fellows, advance through Learning Paths, and edit their own profile. Conversations on Public AI Fellows are anonymous; Private AI Fellows and Learning Paths attribute conversations to the user. |
| Admin user | Owners, Full Admins, and Managers. Creators sit on the same Admins tab but are a separate authoring role. See Roles and permissions. |
| Owner | Role with the same product access as a Full Admin, plus permission to manage other Full Admins and Owners, grant the Owner role, and clone supported resources to another owned workspace. |
| Full Admin | Privileged role with full access to every Learning Path, AI Fellow, Connector, transcript, analytics dashboard, and team-management screen in the company. Can invite Creators and Managers. Cannot change or remove another Full Admin or Owner. |
| Creator | Authoring role for Learning Paths, AI Fellows, AI Simulations, and Connectors. Cannot enroll users, open progress or conversation dashboards, or open Company Settings. See Roles and permissions. |
| Manager | Role with management access to the Learning Paths and AI Fellows explicitly assigned to them, including the access list of assigned Private AI Fellows. Creates new Learning Paths, AI Fellows, and Assessments only when Can build new content is on. Cannot open the Connectors Library or the Fellows library, or manage company settings. |
| Fellows library | Ready-made AI Fellows curated by Frontierz. Full Admins, Owners, and Creators add a Disabled copy to the workspace. See Fellows library. |
| Frontierz Learning Path file | A .frontierz.json export of an authored Learning Path. Import it to recreate sessions, objectives, and notes. See Import a Frontierz Learning Path. |
| LMS | A learning management system: the platform your organisation uses to organise and assign training. Connect it through Access Management → LMS integration so employees can open Frontierz activities from their courses. See LMS. |
| LTI 1.3 | A standard for connecting learning platforms. Frontierz uses it to open training from an LMS. Most supported LMSs also provide a content selector (Deep Linking); Cornerstone uses course imports. |
