  "title": "Customer Service Simulation",
  // The description of the AI experience
  "description": "Practice customer service skills in a simulated environment",
  // The AI facts for the experience (optional)
  "facts": "You are a customer service representative...",
  // The learning objectives for this experience
  "learning_objective": "Students will practice active listening and problem-solving",
  // The pedagogical guidance for the experience
  "pedagogical_guidance": "A customer is calling about a billing issue",
  // The current published state of the AI experience
  "workflow_state": "published",
