The Dynamic AI Feed delivers live emails, news bulletins, social media posts, and instant messages to participants during a crisis simulation, replacing static injects with a stream of realistic, timed communications.
What the Dynamic AI Feed is
Instead of static text-based injects, participants receive live incoming communications — emails, social media updates, news alerts, and instant messages — from simulated stakeholders, ransomware actors, journalists, and more. This creates the sense of a crisis unfolding in real time, raising urgency and making decisions feel genuinely consequential.
Feed items are tied to specific injects, so what participants see depends on the path they take through the scenario. A delivery timer on each item lets you control exactly when it lands, giving you fine-grained control over pacing and pressure.
Items don't disappear once delivered. Each type has its own unread indicator and notification icon, so participants can see at a glance what they've missed. That persistent, growing inbox is part of what makes the feed feel real — the pressure builds as the scenario unfolds.
Only the feed types you've added will appear. If you include only email items, participants will see only the email inbox. If you add nothing, the feed won't appear at all.
Adding feed items to an inject
Open the Scenario Builder and click the inject you want to add a feed item to. Select Feed items from the inject options. The Feed items panel opens.
From the Item Type dropdown, choose the type of feed item you want to add, then select + Add Feed Item. You can add multiple feed items to a single inject — mix types freely to layer communications and create a more complex information environment.
The four available item types are:
- News Bulletin
- Social Media Post
- Instant Message
Delivery timing
Each feed item has a Deliver after X seconds setting. Set it to zero and the item appears the moment the participant reaches the inject. Set a delay and it arrives after that many seconds, letting you stagger communications to simulate how information actually trickles in during a real incident.
Timing is one of the most effective tools for building pressure. An email that arrives 30 seconds after a key decision lands very differently from one that's waiting the moment a participant opens an inject.
Deleting feed items
To remove a feed item, select it in the Feed items panel and click Delete.
