About AI Friction Labs
AI Friction Labs provides educators with a library of character simulations designed to challenge students beyond surface-level thinking. Students engage directly with these characters — personas that ask harder questions, resist jargon, and push back on vague responses. Teachers review the full conversation transcript to assess the depth and rigor of their reasoning. The result is thinking that is more visible and more assessable than anything a traditional assignment can capture. AI Friction Labs was built to bring that experience to every educator.
