Live sessions
A live session is a voice conversation with an AI Fellow. Speak normally, listen to its response, and ask follow-up questions as you would on a call. The controls let you mute your microphone, read the transcript, or end the conversation.
What a session is like
In a voice session, you speak normally. The AI Fellow listens, replies, and moves the conversation forward. You can interrupt the AI Fellow mid-sentence, mute yourself, and end the call when you are done. There is no typing required, although the AI Fellow can share text, widgets, or images in Chat when something is easier to read than to hear.
With most AI Fellow faces, including appearances your organization created from a portrait with a human face, the face comes alive once the AI Fellow starts speaking: its lips follow the voice, and it looks at you, nods, and reacts while you talk. Before that, and for a face that cannot do this, you see short animated clips. If you prefer a still face, turn on Pause animations in Settings → Accessibility, or turn on reduced motion on your device.
The AI Fellow is identified as AI throughout the call. You will not be addressed as if you are talking to a human.
What a session contains
| Part of the session | What it is for |
|---|---|
| The voice call | Speak into your microphone and listen to the AI Fellow's response. |
| Objectives panel | Visible during a Learning Path session. Shows what you are working toward. |
| Chat | The conversation in writing, plus the text, links, interactive widgets, images, or documents the AI Fellow shares when those capabilities are enabled. |
| Whiteboard | A shared board where you and the AI Fellow can sketch, and where the AI Fellow draws diagrams, when the whiteboard is enabled. |
| Camera and screen sharing | Optional. You can show the AI Fellow what is on your screen, or ask it to look through your camera. |
| Files you send | One file at a time, when you want the AI Fellow to analyze it during the current session. |
| Transcript | What is being said, shown as captions on the call and in Chat. |
| Previous chats | Past conversations you can read or continue. |
Length
A session ends automatically when it reaches the service limit. The exact limit depends on your organization's setup and where you opened the AI Fellow. If you need more time, start a new session. Past conversations remain available, and you can pick up from one of them when continuity is enabled for that AI Fellow.
