Historically, Duolingo has used AI to personalize content, but we have recently ventured into the realm of generative AI to further enhance the language learning experience. Our discussion will be divided into two main parts. The first part will focus on how Duolingo utilizes large language models to generate educational content. This content undergoes a rigorous vetting process to ensure it meets high-quality standards before being presented to learners. The second part will explore Duolingo’s generative AI initiatives that directly connect learners with large language models. We will discuss two groundbreaking features: the Roleplay experience and the Explain My Answer feature. The Roleplay experience simulates immersive language learning by allowing users to interact with chatbots based on Duolingo’s World Characters. The ultimate goal of this project is to allow learners to create dynamic, free-form responses in Spanish and French The Explain My Answer feature offers instant grammar explanations and feedback on errors, helping users better understand their mistakes and improve their language skills. This AI-based language coach can be accessed at any point in the learning session. By examining these examples, we aim to demonstrate the exciting potential of AI in language learning and emphasize Duolingo’s commitment to providing a cutting-edge educational experience for users around the globe. Join us as we explore the future of language learning through the power of artificial intelligence.
