Synthesia's platform for interactive, two-way AI-avatar conversations — Roleplay Sessions for scored practice and Survey Sessions for conversational, avatar-led surveys, both now self-serve.

Synthesia Sessions is the interactive, two-way side of Synthesia — the company best known for turning a text script into a one-way talking-head avatar video. Instead of playback, Sessions puts a person into a live conversation with an Interactive Avatar that responds in real time. The platform launched with its first format, Roleplay Sessions, on July 22, 2026, and has since grown into a small suite built on the same conversational-avatar tech.
Two formats are live. Roleplay Sessions is scored practice: an employee opens a scenario and talks through a sales pitch, a performance review, or an angry-customer call with an avatar that asks follow-ups and pushes back, after which an AI coach debriefs the attempt and reveals multi-dimensional scoring against a role rubric, tracking improvement across tries. Survey Sessions points the same tech at feedback: respondents talk through open answers to an avatar-led survey you can run at scale, rather than ticking boxes, which can surface more candid, detailed insight. Both follow a create-practice-coach-measure shape and roll up into manager dashboards with KPIs, score distributions, and exportable transcripts.
On access, Sessions has changed since launch. It debuted enterprise-only with undisclosed pricing, but now offers self-serve tiers: a free tier that needs no credit card, paid learner seats at roughly $29 per month (about $25 billed annually) with unlimited plays per seated learner and self-serve purchasing up to around 100 seats, and a custom Enterprise tier with SSO/SCIM. It supports roughly seven languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Chinese) with more planned, integrates via SCORM or Synthesia Studio, and carries enterprise governance (SOC 2 Type II, ISO certifications, GDPR with EU data residency). Synthesia has said it plans to extend Sessions into formats such as job interviews and candidate screening, which are not yet shipped. Treat tiers, allowances, and the language count as a fast-moving snapshot and confirm on Synthesia's pages.
The honest framing for a creator: Sessions is an interactive practice-and-feedback platform, not a content or publishing tool. It makes a person better at a conversation, or gathers what people really think — and it stops there. It renders no marketing video, cuts no clips, builds no carousels, blogs, or newsletters, and posts to no channel. Its output is a score, a coaching debrief, or a set of survey responses on a dashboard.
The most useful way to pair Sessions with Kompozy is to treat Sessions as an intelligence source and Kompozy as the broadcast engine. Sessions is unusually good at one thing most content tools never see: the real words your market uses. A Survey Session captures the actual questions, objections, and phrasing customers voice out loud; a Roleplay Session surfaces exactly where reps stumble and which objections keep winning. That is a goldmine of demand signal — and Sessions does nothing with it beyond a dashboard, because publishing is not its job.
Kompozy is where that signal becomes content people can find. Take the ten questions a Survey Session heard most and the three objections your reps kept losing to, and feed them to Kompozy as source material. It will generate a Blog Article that ranks for the exact question a prospect types, a brand-exact Carousel Post that dismantles the top objection, Persona Shorts and Persona HeyGen avatar video answering each question on camera without you filming, Quote Graphics pulling the sharpest line, and an Email Newsletter that walks the list through the full set. A Persona Brief keeps your voice and banned words consistent across every piece, and Autopilot plus a per-post review pipeline schedule and publish the batch across eight social platforms plus your blog and Mailchimp. So Sessions tells you what the market is actually asking; Kompozy answers it, on brand, everywhere, on a schedule — closing the loop from private insight to public content that Sessions alone can never complete.
Sessions is Synthesia's platform for interactive, two-way AI-avatar conversations, as opposed to its core one-way avatar videos. Its live formats are Roleplay Sessions (a scored practice conversation with a responsive avatar) and Survey Sessions (avatar-led conversational surveys). Synthesia has said it plans to add formats such as job interviews and candidate screening. It launched with Roleplay on July 22, 2026 and is now self-serve.
No. Whatever the format, its output is a coached session, a skills score, or a set of survey responses on a dashboard — nothing you can publish. It renders no marketing video, cuts no clips, and posts to no channel. To turn what it surfaces into content an audience discovers, you use a generation-and-publishing engine like Kompozy, which makes on-brand video, carousels, blogs, and newsletters and publishes them across eight social platforms plus blog and email.
It is now self-serve with public pricing: a free tier that needs no credit card, paid learner seats at roughly $29 per month (about $25 billed annually) with unlimited plays per seated learner and self-serve purchasing up to around 100 seats, and a custom Enterprise tier with SSO/SCIM. This is a change from the enterprise-only, undisclosed pricing at launch; confirm current figures on Synthesia's pricing page.
Sessions is the platform; Roleplay Sessions is its first format — scored practice conversations with an Interactive Avatar. Survey Sessions (conversational surveys) is the second live format, and Synthesia has flagged interviews and candidate screening as planned. All of them share the same interactive, measured, avatar-driven approach, and none of them publish content.
Treat it as an intelligence source. A Survey Session captures the real questions and objections your market voices, and a Roleplay Session shows where your reps stumble — demand signal most content tools never see. Feed that list to a content engine like Kompozy to generate blog articles, carousels, avatar video, and newsletters that answer it, then publish the set across platforms. Sessions tells you what to say; Kompozy says it to an audience.
