Turning Teacher Expertise into AI-Generated Educational Simulations
AI summary
The Generative AI Labs team introduces Primer, an open-source system that lets educators build educational simulations through a structured AI interview rather than code, producing a reviewable design document that must be approved before any simulation is built. Specialized agents then create and run the simulation, with student-facing mentor, practice (Roleplay or Teachback), and feedback agents, and educators receive individual and aggregate performance reports. Primer is described as an experimental prototype, not a vetted classroom product, and its prompts, templates, and code are released on GitHub.
