Consultation Coach & redesigned AI Actor experience

Our biggest update to the AI Actors module yet. We've rebuilt the consultation experience around a new real-time Consultation Coach that watches the conversation as it happens, surfaces the cues a good candidate would notice, and gives you a gentle nudge when you get stuck.

Featured

Meet the Consultation Coach

A dedicated panel that runs alongside your live consultation. As the patient speaks, Coach quietly flags the most important things to notice — and if you freeze, one tap on I'm stuck gives you 2–3 tailored next questions and a check of what you still haven't covered from the mark scheme.

New

Real-time cue spotting during AI Actor consultations

Coach now reads the live transcript and surfaces three kinds of cue inline as the patient speaks:
Red flags
ICE
Emotional cues

Each cue shows a short clinician's mental note up top, and expands to show the verbatim patient quote it's grounded in. Cues are deliberately rare — Coach prefers silence to noise.

New

“I’m stuck” suggestions

A new I'm stuck button gives you 2–3 tailored next-question stems plus a list of mark-scheme items you haven't convincingly addressed yet. Phase-aware, so the suggestions shift between Data Gathering and Clinical Management as your consultation progresses.

New

Coach toggle remembered between sessions

Coach is opt-in, off by default, and remembers your preference per browser. Toggle it on once and it sticks — toggle it off and Coach goes silent and stops making any background requests.
Improved

Rebuilt AI Actor case pages (Cases 1–7)

All seven AI Actor case pages have been restructured around a new three-column layout: the patient on the left, the live transcript in the centre once the consultation starts, and your Doctor Notes and Coach panel on the right. The consultation controls (start/end/mute) are now lifted into the page chrome so they stay visible no matter which inspector tab you're on.
Improved

Cleaner Practice / Learn toggle

The Practice ↔ Learn switch on each case has been redesigned as a compact pill toggle that takes up less vertical space and adapts better to small screens.
Improved

Smarter “out of credits” upgrade flow

When you run out of AI Actor credits, the upgrade dialog now hides the Revision Essential plan (which doesn't include credits) and surfaces inline credit top-up packs (3, 10 or 25 credits) so you can keep practising without leaving the page.
Improved

Credit allowances on homepage pricing cards

Pricing cards now show the included AI Actor credit allowance right next to the price:10 credits / month30 credits upfront
Improved

Dedicated low-latency model for Coach

Coach runs on a separate, fast model (gpt-5.4-mini) so cues appear within a second or two of the patient finishing a sentence — without slowing your main AI Tutor or marking model.
Improved

Hallucination guards on Coach output

Every cue Coach surfaces is validated against the live transcript on the server — if the quote isn't a verbatim substring of what the patient actually said, it's rejected. You'll only ever see cues grounded in real evidence.
Fixed

Upgrade modal now scrolls correctly on small screens

The upgrade dialog now uses dynamic viewport units so the full plan grid is reachable on mobile browsers (no more cut-off CTA at the bottom). The duplicate close button has also been removed.
