Is there a good AI chat bot for language learners yet? This feels like an obvious use case for me: a leveled conversation partner that can also correct your mistakes etc, which, optionally uses speech synth + dictation to converse. Anyone know if this exists?

@sommer i thought duolingo announced they were doing this… but, like most of those announcement, i think all i've actually seen so far is the 30 second tweet about it, not an actual feature 😂

@jbigham haha sammmmme - haven’t actually found anything yet and this is the use case I need!!

@sommer I am building this right now! I’ll let you know as soon as I have a TestFlight. https://techhub.social/@brandonhorst/110965412170311778

@brandonhorst yes please!!!!

@sommer But the closest thing that I know of that exists right now is https://www.prettypolly.app/

@sommer @andy_matuschak iirc mentioned a language learning chatbot startup a while back but i don’t remember where

@sommer @jbigham I can’t find out how to sign up for “Duolingo Max” https://blog.duolingo.com/duolingo-max/

@sommer @jbigham found it on iPhone Settings > id > Subscriptions > Duolingo > See all Plans.

@mikegoodspeed @sommer @jbigham was just coming back to say that

@eointhedoherty @mikegoodspeed @sommer oh neat, so you can actually use it?

@jbigham @eointhedoherty @sommer I’m too scared to mess up my family account. Someone try and report back please. 😊

@mikegoodspeed @jbigham @eointhedoherty lol same... worried I'll break something with my "family" of language learners.

@sommer @andy_matuschak here it is https://squidgies.app/ !!

@nsfmc @andy_matuschak oh wow this is fantastic!!
