Is there a facilitator version with prep notes?

Not yet — but a facilitator pack with themed quote sets and discussion prompts is on our roadmap. Drop us a line via the footer if you'd like early access.

Can I use this for paid corporate workshops?

Yes. The browser version is free to use commercially — we just ask that you credit Quote or Bot in materials. If you need a custom themed pack for a client, get in touch.

Does it work for in-person workshops too?

Yes. Project it on the room's main screen and run it exactly like a remote session. In-person actually gets a stronger reaction on the reveal moment.

How is this different from a Kahoot quiz?

Kahoot is a quiz layer over your content. Quote or Bot is the content: every round is a small lesson in detection, plus a discussion-worthy quote in its own right. There are also no per-participant logins.

Is the content suitable for executive audiences?

Yes. The quote pool is heavy on philosophy, craft, and leadership — exactly the register senior audiences prefer over generic team-building content.

How long should I budget for it?

Five minutes for a quick energizer (2–3 rounds), or 20–30 minutes for an AI-literacy block (4–6 rounds plus discussion).

Can my participants play after the workshop?

Yes — that's part of why it's a useful workshop tool. The browser version is free, the mobile app is available for solo daily play, and many participants keep playing on their own.

What happens if AI detection gets too easy or too hard?

We continually refresh the quote pool with new AI-generated samples and rediscovered human ones to keep the difficulty in the right zone — challenging but not impossible.

A Workshop Energizer That Builds a Real Skill

For L&D, trainers, HR, and workshop facilitators: a five-minute activity that wakes the room up and quietly trains AI literacy at the same time.

Workshop energizers are usually a tax on the participants: a bit of forced movement to pay for sitting still. Quote or Bot pays you back. Each five-minute round is a complete arc — a question, a decision, a reveal, a discussion — and it leaves your participants noticeably better at spotting AI-generated text, a skill they actually need in 2026.

How it works in 30 seconds

1. Project the quote

Pull up app.quoteorbot.com on the room's screen. No projector dongles, no plugins, no per-participant accounts — just a URL on a laptop you're already using.

2. Run a 90-second round

Read the quote, give the room 20 seconds to commit, take a show of hands for 'human' vs 'AI', and ask 1–2 participants to defend their guess.

3. Reveal and bridge

Reveal the source. Use the result as a bridge into your workshop content — about communication, leadership, creativity, AI, or whatever the day is about.

Why it works for L&D, trainers, HR, and workshop facilitators

An AI literacy gym, disguised as a game

Repeated rounds train embodied pattern recognition that no article or course can replicate. Participants leave with a genuinely sharper instinct for spotting AI-generated content in their inboxes, decks, and reports.

Classroom and workshop ready

Designed for facilitated use: short, decisive, screen-shareable, and content-neutral enough to fit alongside any topic — from leadership to ethics to creative writing.

Gamified without the cringe

The game mechanic IS the value. There are no fake points, no patronising celebrations, and no engagement theater. Participants stay engaged because the question is genuinely interesting, not because we tricked them into it.

Scenarios where it shines

AI-literacy workshop opener

Open the session with three rounds. Use the results as a live demonstration of the day's thesis: AI-generated text is harder to detect than we think, and detection is a learnable skill.

Leadership / communication training

Use quotes about leadership and craft. After the reveal, pivot from 'human or AI?' to 'what makes this quote land?' — a natural bridge into communication content.

Multi-day training energizer

Run one round after each break. Two minutes, zero prep, no equipment, predictably re-engages the room — and creates a running joke (and small competition) across the day.

The energizer problem

Workshop energizers face an impossible brief: re-engage adult professionals without insulting their intelligence, without requiring movement everyone in the room is willing to do, and without eating more than five minutes of the agenda. Most fail at least one of those tests.

The trick is to find an activity that is intrinsically interesting at the level of content — not just at the level of novelty. 'Stand up and find someone with the same birth month' is novel for thirty seconds. 'Did a human or an AI write this line of Stoic philosophy?' is genuinely interesting for the full discussion.

Why facilitators are choosing AI-themed activities in 2026

AI adoption hit 86% among knowledge workers in 2025, but expertise lagged adoption. Every L&D team is now under pressure to teach 'AI literacy' — and nobody is sure what that looks like in practice. Lectures don't move the needle; hands-on play does.

Quote or Bot is one of the few activities where the medium is the message. Participants don't learn about AI detection by being told; they learn by failing, succeeding, and noticing patterns. Three rounds in a workshop give them more grounded intuition than a 30-minute slide deck.

Integrating into existing programs

Most facilitators we hear from drop Quote or Bot into one of three slots: as a 5-minute opener that doubles as a live demo of an AI-related point; as a 2-minute mid-session re-engagement after a break; or as a closing reflection that bridges 'what did we learn today?' into the broader question of authenticity in the AI era.

Because the activity is browser-based and requires no setup, it can be inserted into a run-sheet at the last minute. We've heard from trainers who pulled it up live when a planned activity ran short — and got a better result than the original plan.
