Tabletop Exercises empower engineering teams to train against real company runbooks through interactive AI-hosted quizzes, helping engineers prepare for the varying scenarios they may face in practice.
Exercises are flexible by design: team leads or managers can run structured sessions for their teams, or individual engineers can train on their own to deepen their knowledge and sharpen their incident response skills.
As a secondary benefit, Tabletop Exercises create a strong incentive to keep runbooks current. Because runbooks serve as the source of truth for all training content, teams are naturally encouraged to maintain and update them over time.
When initiating a Tabletop Exercise, Vibe AI accepts runbooks in the following formats:
.md), and CSV.You can provide multiple runbooks in any combination of the above formats within a single message. All runbooks are converted into exercise context and merged together before the session begins.
Note: Text-based documents work best. Scanned PDFs or image-heavy files may not be captured as reliably as standard text documents.
You can start a tabletop exercise in two ways — directly through the Vibe AI platform, or via Slack.
