TL;DR
CultureVo addresses the need for scalable cultural intelligence training in a diverse, global environment by combining a gamified learning platform with Generative AI. The Integrated Culture Learning Suite (ICLS) employs a three-component framework—Cultural Treasury for reference content, World Wise for formative assessment, and Culture Scribe for adaptive interactions—driven by open-source LLMs and retrieval-based content generation. The system uses a two-tier architecture (Frontend and Backend) with a Laravel-based server and an LLM-driven content pipeline to produce summaries and quizzes from uploaded documents and multimedia sources. Overall, the work demonstrates a practical approach to improving individual and organizational cultural competence through engaging, personalized, and scalable learning experiences.
Abstract
CultureVo, Inc. has developed the Integrated Culture Learning Suite (ICLS) to deliver foundational knowledge of world cultures through a combination of interactive lessons and gamified experiences. This paper explores how Generative AI powered by open source Large Langauge Models are utilized within the ICLS to enhance cultural intelligence. The suite employs Generative AI techniques to automate the assessment of learner knowledge, analyze behavioral patterns, and manage interactions with non-player characters using real time learner assessment. Additionally, ICLS provides contextual hint and recommend course content by assessing learner proficiency, while Generative AI facilitates the automated creation and validation of educational content.
