Hey everyone, I promised a follow-up so here it is.
After seeing this thread take off, I went ahead and documented the full build process for embedding a live coaching simulation directly inside Articulate Rise. No redirects, no logins, just a working activity that lives inside your course like any other block.
The short version: a small web app hosted on Vercel, a background function that keeps your API key hidden, and a Rise Embed block to tie it all together. Writing the scoring prompt and structuring the feedback was the hard part. The rest? I described what I wanted and the tools built it.
I wrote the build notes beginner-friendly on purpose. If you have never touched a terminal, you can still follow along.
I am happy to answer questions in the thread (or feel free to reach out on LinkedIn). This is genuinely buildable without a development background. You just need to be comfortable describing what you want and troubleshooting when something looks off. Oh, and let me know if you have any feedback on the step-by-step doc.
