Cosie
An animated AI mascot that interviews employees, out loud, about Cosis' 2030 strategy.
01
The Brief
Cosis, a Dutch healthcare organization, had written KOERS 2030, its strategy for the coming years. They wanted to share it with employees in a fun way and collect everyone's ideas on it, instead of sending a questionnaire nobody reads. Studio VRij brought the project to Enversed and worked out the interview questions together with Cosis.
02
My Approach
Cosie is a small animated robot that interviews you out loud. You hold a button, speak and Cosie replies with a follow-up question, for about ten minutes. At the end, the AI turns the whole conversation into structured answers for Cosis. The voice pipeline builds on the one I made for Murder Mystery, with additions like a correction list for Dutch words the speech recognition often gets wrong.
A colleague designed Cosie, and I rigged and animated it in PlayCanvas, with idle motion that speeds up while it talks and a simple lipsync. Everything Cosie says lives in a Google Sheet, so the script could be tweaked without a new build.

The Result
Cosie is live at cosie.nu as a browser app where employees give feedback just by talking. There are no forms, and they only type if they want to.
04
Outcome
Cosie has held over 1,800 conversations so far, and Cosis got real, usable feedback out of it. The pipeline in turn became the base for Joico's soft-skill training.

03 / About
Concept first, medium second
I'm Ramon, a multimedia designer based in Eindhoven. Projects start with a problem: what the thing has to do, and how someone should move through it. The answer has been a 360 film, a VR walkthrough, an explainer animation, a configurator and an AI training platform.
My part is 3D, design and code: modelling and lighting in Blender, interface and motion in XD/Illustrator and After Effects, plus the build in PlayCanvas or Next.js.
