What is Frontierz

Frontierz helps you develop skills at work through conversations with AI Fellows. An AI Fellow is an AI assistant that guides you through a topic or practice situation. You can speak to it much as you would during a video call, ask questions, and work through the learning your organisation has assigned to you.

This manual covers what you see as a learner: the Home screen, Your Journey, what happens during a live session, and the controls available while you talk.

Who this manual is for

Use this manual if your organization has invited you to:

  • Take a Learning Path made up of guided sessions.
  • Talk to an AI Fellow assigned to you for coaching, simulation, or reference.
  • Open a public AI Fellow link without signing in, for a focused conversation such as a public demo or an open coaching activity.

What is not covered here

Your administrator prepares sessions, manages team reports, and configures Frontierz in Studio. Your workspace gives you access to conversations and your own progress. If you need a setting changed, contact the person who manages Frontierz at your organisation.

AI Fellows

An AI Fellow is an AI assistant you can talk to over voice. Each AI Fellow has its own name, voice, and area of focus. Some AI Fellows are set up for coaching, others for simulations, others for answering questions about a specific topic using uploaded reference material. When an AI Fellow has a Knowledge Base, it can search the uploaded documents during the conversation and open the relevant file when a question depends on a specific detail.

The Your Fellow page before starting a session

A live conversation with an AI Fellow looks and feels like a phone or video call. You speak, the AI Fellow responds, and the exchange happens in real time. You can interrupt, mute yourself, share your screen when relevant, and end the call at any time.

Some AI Fellows also let you type instead of speaking. If the person who set up the AI Fellow enabled that option, Voice and Text appear with Start live session. Select Text to type, or Voice during that conversation to continue it as a call. The conversation is saved the same way. See Type instead of talk.

During a conversation, you may also be able to send a file to the AI Fellow by dragging it onto the session screen. The AI Fellow can use that file as context for the current conversation. See Send files during a session.

AI Fellows are always identified as AI.

Learning Paths

A Learning Path is a training programme with steps you complete in order. It can combine guided conversations with an AI Fellow, practice simulations, and e-learning modules. Completing the current step unlocks the next one.

In a guided conversation, the Fellow helps you work through a small set of objectives: things you need to explain, demonstrate, or practise. The session is complete when the Fellow confirms that you have met those objectives. See Your Journey for how each type of step works.

Learning Paths are useful for onboarding, AI adoption programs, manager development, regulated training, customer training, or any program where the order of topics matters.

Which one do I have?

It depends on what your organization set up:

A Your Fellow entry in the sidebarAn AI Fellow assigned to you for general conversations.
A shared link to an AI FellowA Fellow for a specific activity. Public Fellows do not require sign-in; private Fellows require an account and permission from an administrator.

You can have all three at the same time. A Learning Path runs through its own AI Fellow. The same person can also have a separate AI Fellow for ad-hoc conversations and may receive a public AI Fellow link for a different use.
