Startup Wars Community Update 15 - Milton Ai Business Simulation

❄️ A Smarter Way to Wrap Up the Year And Start the Next One

Milton AI is here, a major leap forward in how students reflect, reason, and make decisions inside Startup Wars. As December winds down and you begin preparing for Spring 2026, we’re excited to introduce this intelligent new tool to elevate business education.

⭐ Milton AI Is Here

Meet Milton, the new built-in AI assistant designed to enhance how students think, reflect, and make decisions inside Startup Wars simulations.

But Milton doesn’t just give answers.
Milton asks the right questions, guiding students to evaluate their own choices, explore alternatives, and develop real-world reasoning skills.

🧠 “Milton makes critical thinking part of every decision.”
