What they did
Building an AI coach / learning companion / co-pilot to play the role a teacher used to: answer questions, confirm you're on track, explain grammar, translate, and help find new content across all the world's content, integrated with LingQ's data on the user.
“AI can help with translation, with grammar, with explanations. AI can help with our methodology.”
