AVRIS x INSEAD Immersive Learning
INSEAD has partnered with AVRIS Technologies, an advanced immersive learning platform in which it holds an equity stake, to pioneer the future of business education. Together, they are co-developing VR- and AI-powered learning experiences authored by INSEAD faculty and professors from other leading business schools.
These next-generation learning scenarios place participants inside highly realistic, high-stakes business environments, where learning is driven by active decision-making, emotionally charged interpersonal engagement, and real-time feedback powered by AI.
LiveCase
Learners experience LiveCase through dynamic chatbot interactions, scripted scenes, and rich multimedia that bring complex situations to life. Whether engaging in lifelike dialogue, watching a dramatic video unfold, or navigating a branching decision path, learners are challenged to think critically, question assumptions, and respond under pressure. The AI doesn't just deliver information - it plays a role, provokes, and adapts in real time, using the Socratic method to turn every exchange into a learning moment. Behind the scenes, LiveCase uses large language models and advanced prompt engineering to help educators author immersive simulations aligned with clear learning objectives. These experiences are easily tailored across academic domains - from strategy to ethics, leadership to operations - and work across geographies and industries. The real innovation lies in the seamless integration of AI, pedagogy, and storytelling: Not AI added on top, but teaching reimagined through AI.
Botipedia
Powered by proprietary AI, Botipedia is the world’s largest encyclopaedic knowledge portal. It leverages hundreds of algorithms to mimic the work of legions of humans to create Wikipedia-style entries. Every entry is processed by the Dynamic Multi-method Generation (DMG) technique, backed by unique datasets consisting of a vast curated library of archives and satellite feeds that provide high quality, verifiable data. While Wikipedia has some 64 million English articles, Botipedia generates over “400 billion” entries in over 100 languages.
Xavier.AI
Developed in partnership by Professor Phil Parker and former consultant and INSEAD MBA graduate Joao Filipe Xavier AI is the world’s first AI strategy consultant, built to provide businesses with expert-level insights at scale.
The platform merges advanced technology with deep expertise to meet the needs of strategy, management, and marketing teams globally. Xavier AI delivers practical solutions - such as competitor analysis, market sizing, and financial modelling - to companies previously priced out of top-tier consulting. With a mission to democratise strategic decision-making, early adopters include the INSEAD Career Development Centre, which is utilising the tool to support students with informed career planning.
