Play a real branching scenario, right here

No signup, no demo call. Pick a response and see the consequence play out.

Discovery call · the prospect "Look, I'll be honest. Your price is a good bit higher than the other quote we got, and I'm not sure I can justify it to my boss."
What would you do?
◆ Strong call
You stayed curious instead of defensive.

You uncover that the cheaper quote is missing onboarding and support. Now you're solving the real problem, which is value rather than price, and the buyer is helping you sell to their boss.

◇ Costly reflex
You bought the deal, and trained the buyer to push.

It closes faster, but you signaled your price was negotiable, cut margin, and never learned why they hesitated. Rarely the strongest path.

✕ Missed the moment
You answered a question they didn't ask.

Listing features when someone raises price makes them feel unheard and pushes them to defend the objection harder. Diagnose before you prescribe.

Three choices. Three consequences. Nano LMS builds one like this from a single sentence.
The basics

What is a branching scenario?

A branching scenario puts the learner in a real decision. Each choice leads somewhere different, and the consequence is what teaches. Nano LMS writes the whole scenario from one sentence.

A decision, then its consequence

How it works

From one sentence to a live scenario in three steps

The bottleneck in scenario-based learning was never delivery. It was authoring. Nano LMS collapses that into a sentence.

Describing a workplace moment in one sentence in Nano LMS
Step 1
Describe the moment

Say what you want your team to handle, in one plain-language sentence.

Nano LMS generating branches, consequences and feedback
Step 2
Nano LMS builds the scenario

Characters, branches, consequences and feedback are all generated. Then pick a visual format.

Step 3
Deploy to mobile

Ship to phones with nothing to install, and track decision quality rather than just completion.

Why teams switch to Nano LMS

Enterprise branching scenarios, without the enterprise build

A full branching scenario generated from one sentence
AI roleplay practice partner scoring learner decisions
Nine visual formats built from the same sentence
Decision-quality analytics for a cohort

One sentence in, a full scenario out

Describe the moment in plain language and Nano LMS generates the whole branching scenario: every path, every consequence and every piece of feedback.

AI roleplay that pushes back

A live practice partner that reacts to what the learner actually says, scored on the decisions they make. The same practice model runs on our sales training pages.

Nine ways to stage the moment

The same sentence builds nine formats. Animated film, dialogue sim, interactive video, motion comic, chat sim, AI avatar and more. Switch later without rewriting the scenario.

Measure decisions, not completion

Decision-quality analytics show you where judgment breaks down, so training targets the real gap rather than a completion box.

Scenario design

What makes a branching scenario worth building

Not every topic deserves one. Here's when it earns the build.

01

The decision has to matter

If every path lands in roughly the same place, you've built an expensive quiz. A wrong choice needs a consequence worth recovering from.

02

Test judgment, not recall

Worth it when the situation is ambiguous. If the answer is one lookup away, a job aid beats a scenario.

03

Real feedback is too slow

Best for moments you can't safely rehearse live: a hard client call, a compliance call, a triage decision. Branching compresses that loop into minutes.

04

More than one defensible path

If experts would genuinely disagree on the right move, it's worth dramatizing. One correct answer hidden behind clicks isn't.

05

Commit to writing failure well

A scenario is only as good as its wrong paths. Vague outcomes collapse it into a linear module wearing a costume.

Branching scenario software FAQ

Branching scenario software is a tool for building interactive, choice-driven training. A learner is dropped into a realistic situation, makes a decision, and follows the consequence of that decision down a branching path. Nano LMS is AI-native branching scenario software. You describe the moment in one plain-language sentence, and it generates the full scenario: characters, choices, consequences and feedback.
Nano LMS starts on a free tier. After that it is $1 per learner a month and $15 per trainer a month, with custom plans for larger teams. AI credits are $1 per 100 credits. See the pricing page for current plans and what each one includes.
No. Traditional tools require specialists to script every branch and developers to wire it together. With Nano LMS you describe the moment in one sentence and the AI builds the whole branching scenario. You edit any branch by changing a line of text.
Yes. Every situation, choice, consequence and piece of feedback is editable text. You can rewrite a line, add a branch, remove one, or change the character, and the scenario updates without rebuilding it.
Yes to mobile, no to headsets. Nano LMS scenarios are mobile-first and run in the browser. There is nothing to install, no VR headset and no 360 rig.
Scenario-based learning means teaching through realistic situations a learner has to act in, rather than through information they have to absorb. The learner faces a decision, makes a call, and sees the consequence. Branching scenarios are its most common form. Nano LMS builds scenario-based learning into every course by default.
A simulation reproduces an environment to practice in, such as a system, a cockpit or a shop floor. Scenario-based learning focuses on the decision: it presents a situation, offers choices, and plays out the realistic consequence of each. Nano LMS combines both, including AI roleplay that adapts and pushes back.
Type one sentence describing the workplace moment, pick a visual format, and Nano LMS generates the complete branching scenario ready to deploy.
Yes. Nano LMS scenarios export to SCORM, so they run inside your existing LMS. You can also deliver them directly on mobile, with decision-quality analytics built in. Check the pricing page for which plans include SCORM.

Your team will face the moment either way. Let them rehearse it first.

Nano LMS starts on a free tier, then $1 per learner a month and $15 per trainer a month. See pricing.
