Practise Motivational Interviewing with an AI client

MI Practice Lab is an AI-powered Motivational Interviewing practice tool. You have a voice-to-voice conversation with a realistic AI client, then get structured MI fidelity feedback on the session: an MI Score, OARS coding, change-talk markers, MI Spirit pillars, and evidence quotes pulled from your own transcript.

You pick a client from the scenario library, then talk to them out loud the way you would in a real consultation. The client has their own history, ambivalence and willingness to engage, and responds in real time. Live coaching can flag closed questions and missed change talk while you speak, or you can switch it off and run the session unassisted.

It works best once you have had some MI training and want the reps. The Lab is built to extend workshop learning rather than replace it, so the feedback assumes you already know what a reflection or a summary is meant to do. If you are new to the model, start with the Motivational Interviewing overview and the OARS guide, then come back and practise.

Choose a scenario, have the conversation, then review it. The session is laid out against the Engage, Focus, Evoke, Plan structure, with every Open question, Affirmation, Reflection and Summary tagged on the playback timeline. The Lab also surfaces the pivotal moments worth revisiting, so you are not re-listening to the whole recording to find the part that mattered.

No. The Lab runs in your web browser, so there is nothing to install. You need a working microphone and somewhere reasonably quiet to talk. Headphones help, mostly because they stop the client's voice bleeding back into your mic.

The free trial gives you 5 minutes of practice with no card required. After that it is £29 a month for 90 minutes of practice, or £299 a year for a 1,080-minute pool you can draw on whenever you need it. Extra 60-minute top-ups are £30. Paid plans carry a 7-day refund.
