ADR International Launches GenAI-Powered Procurement Virtual Mentor Sophie

en.Wedoany.com Reported - ADR International today launched Sophie, a GenAI-based virtual mentor designed specifically for training and performance support in corporate procurement. Powered by CodeBaby's Geppetto conversational AI platform, Sophie provides interactive coaching for procurement and sourcing professionals, distinguishing itself from traditional e-learning platforms that rely on one-way content delivery.

Sophie's training data focuses on ADR International's proprietary procurement methodology, consulting frameworks, and practical procurement knowledge. Procurement professionals can ask questions, explore scenarios, and receive guided coaching tailored to their specific needs within this interactive environment. This update marks ADR International's transition from static modules to AI-guided intelligent learning in procurement training.

Robin Jackson, CEO of ADR International, stated that Sophie is not a general-purpose AI but a practical tool specifically trained on the company's methodology and decades of consulting experience. Organizations such as Singtel and Wienerberger have reportedly chosen to collaborate with ADR due to Sophie.

Sophie also supports AI-driven role-playing and procurement simulations, helping users practice negotiations, stakeholder management, sourcing conversations, and change initiatives using ADR's consulting methods. The tool is being used by global organizations to modernize procurement learning, accelerate onboarding, and support continuous employee development. This launch also marks ADR's expanded market presence in the United States through its strategic partnership with CodeBaby.

Norrie Daroga, CEO of CodeBaby, noted that ADR's procurement expertise gives Sophie capabilities that general-purpose AI platforms cannot replicate. ADR plans to add multilingual support, advanced procurement simulations, and broader supply chain learning applications to Sophie in the future.
