Vantage in Google Labs

The tool creates AI‑generated simulated team conversations that let high‑school and college students practice and receive feedback on competencies such as critical thinking, collaboration, and creative thinking. Users interact with a generative‑AI environment that poses scenarios and questions designed to surface these “future‑ready” skills, while the system records responses for assessment.

Assessment is performed by large language models that score the interactions, a method validated in a study with New York University showing parity with human expert evaluations. The experiment follows a systematic methodology akin to that used for core academic subjects, aiming to provide reliable, formative feedback on skills that are difficult to capture with traditional tests.

The project is offered as an experimental research platform on Google Labs, available in English, and is intended for educational settings where students can safely practice and be evaluated on durable competencies that remain valuable amid rapid AI advancement.
